I have about 75 contacts on my phone, including e-mail addresses. </div> <div>5. read my e-mail messages and answer them.</div> <div>6. surf the web, and look up important information.</div> <div>7. It has the capabilities to look up addresses and then guide me to them, but I don't use that feature. (I still use a map)</div> <div>8. Last but not least, play solitaire while I'm waiting for a customer to come home.</div> <div> </div> <div>I bought the phone because I need to be able to do the first two, but the other features are kind of neat, too. </div> <div> </div> <div>BTW, when I take the phone in with me to tune a piano, I also take the blue tooth, so that when I receive a call, my hands are free to write down appointments, or, when it's my wife, I can continue working while I'm talking to her. </div> <div> </div> <div>Wim</div> <br> <br> <div style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">-----Original Message-----<br> From: Patrick C.

I know that there is the ability to run credit cards through it, and many other features. It would cost another $30 on my phone bill, as well as the initial cost of the phone ($149 or $49 depending on whether I want it to talk to me). Thanks Patrick C.
