Mobile Web

Anyone here use mobile web on their cell phone? If so, do you use it through your provider or someone else? Verizon is awfully expensive on their web plans so I recently signed up through hopke.net. I have been very impressed with the speed and the WAP homepage. The best part is that its $12 for a year which equates to $1 per month. It only uses my minutes so if I use the mobile web on weekends and after 9pm its free. Pretty cool if you ask me.

I've actually found it really nice for sitting waiting for things like a shuttle bus or an airplane. I can check the news, get directions through mapquest, check gmail, chat on AIM/MSN/Yahoo and even check the weather. I didn't think I would use it either until I saw my dads and got envious.
