When is the right time? By Joni Blecher (April 17, 2003) Section Editor Joni Blecher, a.k.a. the Cell Phone Diva, wants to answer all your questions about cell phones, service plans, and wireless connectivity. Send her a question! The wireless circle Q: I just purchased a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 laptop with a built-in wireless network connection and Bluetooth. I'd like to buy a cell phone that takes advantage of my laptop's technology and lets me download e-mail. Any suggestions? --Patricia
Bluetooth or bust Q: I'm looking for a Bluetooth phone. I like the T68i, but I saw that the Siemens S55 is going to launch soon. The P800 also caught my attention, but it's too expensive for me. Do you think I should wait for more Bluetooth phones to come out or spring for a new one now? --James A: We won't see many new Bluetooth phones this year; if that is the only key feature for you and you like the T68i, that model is probably your best bet. Now about the Siemens model you have in mind--the company doesn't plan to sell the S55 here in the United States, but you can still buy one abroad and activate service here. Since the S55 is a world-roaming GSM phone, all you'll need is a SIM card. However, you'll have to make sure the phone's SIM isn't locked; a locked SIM prevents you from using SIMs from other carriers without getting a special code from the carrier that initially sells you the phone. The S56, a similar model, won't work abroad, but it will be available here in a few months. |
