because what happens if you need to do a google search:

 

in your car, on the crapper, on a runway waiting to takeoff, etc...

 

I guess..

 

My phone has full internet. Do i use it? Nope. I use the hell out of it for emails though, which is why i got the 6800.

I just found out I could use it to check my fantasy football scores on. Which to this day is the only thing I've ever used it for.

You have to go into SMS (or text messaging), and enter 46645 on the "to" line. You sure you have SMS service? (sometimes you have to pay extra for it I think).

If you got Verizon...you should do what I do and use it for the NFL scores each Sunday. Its sweet. I can get it sent to me each time they score or I could just have it sent to me at each quarter or I just have it sent at the end of each game. :lol:

TMobile has the same service (I use it for preseason games... :D. I'm guessing all the major carriers have a similar service.

 

Another cool thing I get every day from TMobile (and again, I'm sure everyone has a similar service) is a "Word of the day." Helps improve vocabulary. :doh: There's jokes, sayings, stock quotes, etc, etc. You select what days/times you want them sent to you. Cool, but not as cool as the Google SMS service :)
