Yah, I've been checking out www.dangerinfo.com for sometime now.  Until 
the SDK comes out, I cant bite tho.  I've gotta see that this thing is 
going to take off and some kewl apps are going to be written for it before 
I can invest $200. 

>From the reviews I've read the web access, and the e-mail/aim functions 
are VERY useable, and fast.
