Email and web on my phone

My phone is a Nokia N91 on Orange PAYG & a nephew has kindly set it up
to retrieve my email from a Yahoo account.

I hardly ever use the phone for making or receiving calls so PAYG is
cost effective for me but I would like to greatly increase my usage of
email & web browsing. Primarily on the phone itself but can I also
connect it to a laptop & use it as a modem???

Who currently does the best monthly or even PAYG plan suited to my needs ???

My thanx in advance for any advice, I'm totally lost & the nephew (being
young) struggles with the value differance between £30 & £70 a month.

How about a nice new Nokia 6120 Classic on 3UK for £15pm with 500mins, then
add X-Series Silver (£5pm) for 1GB of internet usage on the phone or Mobile
Broadband, 1GB of usage (£10pm).

On Orange the most you can spend per day on mobile internet is £2. If
you know you're going to have a heavy day you can also purchase a £1
orange world extra which gives you unlimited data for the rest of that
day.

To receive email and view WAP pages the cheapest option is to just use a
provider that offers FREE unlimited GPRS WAP usage as part of the PAYG
service like mine does. I can use WAP GPRS even when there is no credit in
my phone. Then to send and recieve email on an unlimited FREE WAP data
connection like I have I use Googlemail. Just register a new account @
http://www.googlemail.com and you can set it up to retrieve email from any
existing POP3 account and deliver to your googlemail inbox. There are 2 ways
to send and recieve your email on a mobile, first is to go to
http://m.gmail.com and use the WAP interface in your phone's browser but the
best and fastest way by far is to use Googlemails JAVA application which was
released in March 2006.

This works on my Tytn II and there is versions for many other phones which
support JAVA to get it go to http://m.gmail.com on your phone and click on
the get googlemail faster link. This JAVA app works as well as using Pocket
Outlook and makes using an unlimited FREE WAP plan a joy to use for email.
My phone provider charges for accessing email through Pocket Outlook becuase
you need an Internet plan to connect to POP3 directly. The googlemail JAVA
app is the best solution for email on a mobile phone outside of an Internet
plan and Pocket Outlook I am sure of that.
