[ladykat]

Hi all I've had my tg50 for about 2 years and I really don't put it to good use. Basically I just have addresses and calandar use.

I would like to know
What I need to do to set up emaill. so IT's like a blackberry I guess

What program do I need to install
How do I connect
and what does it cost.

thanks a bunch.

The TG50 can only communicate via the hotsync cable or By bluetooth protocal. You can pick up a wifi memory stick, however you would be limited to hotspots. Blackberries work via the same type of system that a cell phone does. They are capable of voice calls, as well as transmitting email via the cellular network. If you are looking for a palm OS device that operates in this matter may I suggest a Treo 650. It has a keyboard and 320X320 Screen like the TG50. You can use it for your cell phone as well as browse the web and send + receive emails. It truly is a great device. However if you just want to stick to using your TG50's email ability, again limited to syncing via hotsync cable or bluetooth protocal (by default) you can certainly do that. However do keep in mind, that if you are going to spend the money on a bluetooth adapter for your computer remember that it would probably be a bit easier to just compose and send the email from your computer.

Hope this helps.
