I tried it, and could access many websites from my 5200's built-in (crappy wap) browser. The built-in IMAP email client worked as well (connecting to imap.google.com). My self-written little J2MEE app (for looking up Montreal STM timetables) worked as well.

HOWEVER: While I managed to go to m.google.ca and download both mobile gmail and mobile Google maps (together about one meg worth of data - without additional charge past the $1 for the day) neither of the apps could access the network properly. Apparently I need some different configuration, but so far, I couldn't get it to work. (and of course, now the 24hrs are up, I'm not gonna try it again until I need it for some reason!)
