In bad reception areas you may try yourself. My standard phone only cell phone dropped from 100% charged to dead within 10 hours with connected to 3G network (no internet connection logged in) instead of up to 7 days with 2G (its normal GSM and EDGE if logging in to provider network)
I can't use any other network than 3G, because my phone operator is H3G. I can't change the operator because in Italy is the only one that made a decent offer for internet, 5 euro at month for 3GB of traffic.

Yes, this is probabily a useless gadget that can be wiped out at all.

I don't have so much mail traffic, but i like the idea to receive mail just like SMS. The point stand on the fact, that, in my opinion, this phone has to be always connected to show is fully potential.
