My contract is up and I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade to the
Siemens SX66 from Cingular, or get a cheaper or free phone. I don't
talk on my cellphone a whole lot, so I have a cheap plan ($29.99 per
month) and I'd like to keep it that way. I'd like to be able to surf
the internet at wifi hotspots, and the SX66 is advertised as having
802.11b. Does this mean I can surf the internet at wifi hotspots
without having to pay Cingular anything for internet access? Or is the
802.11b "crippled" the way Bluetooth is "crippled" by some carriers on
some cellphone models?
Another issue: Siemens just split off their mobile business and is
trying to sell it. Does this mean for any reason that we should avoid
buying Siemens phones? I am aware that the SX66 is not actually
manufactured by Siemens.
