Considering PPC-6700

I have a regular cell phone and am thinking about buying one of these.
Some questions:

1. If I make a WiFi connection, the browser runs as fast as the
bandwidth will allow. Correct?

2. If I use Outlook to grab mail from a POP3 email server, then I don't
have to pay for any sort of extra Sprint email package right?

3. Can I use PPC based IM packages as a regular TCP/IP based program
without incurring extra charges?

4. The $15/month PCS Vision is essenitally an unlimited data transfer
data option for the web browser. Is that right?

5. Cingular markets their 8125. Can anyone compare the two phones?

6. AllTel sells the phone but they have a $7 unlimited web thing.
Other than EVDO is there any difference between that and the Sprint
offering?


Any other input about this phone would be appreciated.

Surely somebody out there has the 6700? I'd like to know the
answers to these questions as well before signing up for $print.

TIA!

1. If you're connected to a WiFi signal, the browser will be as fast as the
WiFi connection will allow.

2. The $15 PCS Vision package includes unlimited data, and Sprint gives
anyone with a Vision package a SprintPCS email account as part of the Vision
service. It's all part of the package.

3. Yes, refer back to the unlimited Vision data.

4. Yes.

5. They both have similar features with some exceptions. Sprint's EVDO data
service is way faster and cheaper. The 8125 is a GSM world phone, which
comes in handy internationally. All other features seems pretty standard
fare.

6. This I do not know.
