I just bought the i300 last week. I am amazed at how complicated the emailing/text messaging is...

i am using eudora.

i have a cable/roadrunner account. i can check mail, and send to other roadrunner users, but i can't send emails to anyone else. aparently roadrunner doesn't allow me to use their smpt account from the i300. which means that to reply to someone outside roadrunner, i have to go to a different program? do i have to get another email server?

also, my business partner just bought an i300. I want to be able to quickly text message him. it can't possibly be that i have to log onto the internet each time, can it? and i even have to compose it online too?

i lived in london for awhile and used a $60 mobile phone to text msg. it took one button to send the msg. that was civilized.

and yes, i did a search on this website to try and figure out how to do these basic procedures, and everything i found had about 10 steps to solve the problem. which isn't really solving the problem- which is that it is unbelievably inconvienent.

please tell me that i am missing something simple.

if this $500 phone can't even simply text msg the same $500 phone... anyone want to buy an i300?

well you better put it up for sale..

sprint has sms but a web connection is needed to send it, sms is a big thing over in europe and japan, but is barely here in the states. lots of folks want to use it, but there was some difficulty in getting intercarrier messaging to work successfully here..until lately.

yuo cant use RR's servers on the i300, ive tried. there are several options for you to get mail, such as gopherking and multimail.
