L33tdawg: I just hope it won't be like the over-hyped 'Wireless Internet through your phone' hype aka WAP. As most of you would already know, WAP and WML pages were sorely dissapointing, especially for those who swallowed the promise hook, line and sinker.
This may be the year it actually becomes possible to choose a wireless service without hiring a consultant.
The nation's wireless companies are finally joining Europe and Asia in gravitating toward two prevailing standards. That should eventually mean better coverage, fewer dropped calls and faster data transfer rates.
In the meantime, so-called smartphones are making more sense than ever.
These handsets let you talk, exchange e-mail, fire off short text messages, even Web surf -- all while managing contacts, appointments, etc.
Yet even the most versatile smartphones are still a bit like gangly teen-agers, full of promise if sometimes awkward.
