Most cell phone/smartphones/pda's have a dumbed down version of the internet. Go to your local Verizon store and try them all out.

I have the Blackberry Peral 8130 and i love it for getting on the web and EVERYTHING ELSE ! i would never be able to go back to a regualr phone

**smokeyd** · 07-17-2008, 12:48 PM

**cpainte1** · 07-17-2008, 12:50 PM

Yes i can

I'm switching to the iPhone within a month or so. My Treo for Verizon is alright and get on every webpage but it's slow. Also, the iPhone app store was one of the main reasons why I'm going to switch.

everyone i know is on verizon so it would cost me a lot to change carriers

cpainte1 is the text messaging like normal texting or is like email sorta? i kinda had problems figuring it out at the store today

**tommy0677** · 07-17-2008, 01:25 PM

Just download Opera Mini for whatever phone you get. It's a JAVA app. Works good on any phone, I use it on my Razr2 V9. It's a decent free web browser.

**smokeyd** · 07-17-2008, 01:27 PM

ah tell me more tell me more please

**Prada** · 07-17-2008, 08:36 PM

I think you mean you want a handset with full HTML versus WAP?

The Palm Treo phones have real internet like you are talking about, I have one of those and I also have a Blackberry Curve, it really just depends on what else you are going to be using it for. But I like how the Treo phones function with the internet and they run off of a Windows format.
