An extract from the article:
“I can recommend the Wireless Pack for everybody how needs professional access to the Net. Non professionals, or user who want to access the E-Mail from time to time only should better think about a Pocket PC/Mobile Phone connection; but again the philosophy behind all Wireless Pocket PCs (doesn’t matter if integrated or like the Wireless Pack) is data centric with voice support, while the new Smartphone 2002 is voice centric with data support.

I have finally managed to get the forums back up and working again. You can visit them here
I am not sure how much longer I will be able to run them for because our current forum software Ikonboard is putting more and more load on the server. I am looking into getting a license for VBulletin but at the moment I just can’t afford it. If anyone is willing to provide us with a copy of Vbulletin in return for some advertising space please feel free to email me @ ronan@ppczone.net
