Mobile Web questions

Hello!

Here is Southern CA, zip 92683, the Mobile Web choice is gone from plan options, at least for America's Choice plans. What happened to Mobile Web on the VZW web site?

What's up? Could it mean the pending release of the VX-8000? (Sorry, I just threw that in there to feed the impatient).

Once the VX-8000 gets out, I want it so I can check email during the day or check traffic reports. Any idea if the "Mobile Web with MSN" option will allow checking mail on my Exchange Server? I can browse to my server with a "/oma" at the end of the URL and it gives a text-only version of mail...no frills.

Do you have to get Mobile Web to use the phone's web browser?

I recently bought into Mobile Web (WAP 2.0) for my Audiovox CDM9900... just to see what all the fuss was about. I figured that at least I could amortise the $4.95 per month cost by using SuperPages to look up phone numbers instead of paying $1.25 every time that I dialed 411.

Yes, there is a decent amount of Mobile Web content. But most of the info there is instantly available by turning on the radio or television. Even though WAP 2.0 is faster than 1.0, I've so far found no compelling reason to keep the service. Especially since the wait between pages is as agonizing as my old dialup home Internet service.
