Cingular Wireless Internet

I will be getting a cell phone with Cingular soon and I will probably get the Samsung X427 on the GSM Nation 250 plan.

I have a quick question about the X427 first:

Can you use the basic CSD Wireless Internet with the X427? I am NOT talking about the Wireless Internet Express. I mean the regular $3.99/month Wireless Internet that deducts time from your minute pool.

If so, is the internet access as good as with any other phone and can you access all the sites on Cingular's "Content Providers" list?

Also, I heard somewhere that color screens limit the amount of sites you can view. Is this true?

Thanks.

no, you can not get the 3.99 with the new x427... you can only get the wireless internet express or the pay per use which in our area is 1/2 cent a kilobyte til like march, then it goes up to 1 cent a kilobyte.there is also the 6.99 for a meg.... there are tons of websites that you can view with the internet express... however, unless a page is written in html that is viewable by Cell phone and some PDA's, the page will be too large to view, and your phone will give you an error message saying that.. however, if you want to check your email on yahoo, download some games ringtons, whatever, or even do some ebaying... then you'll be just fine...

Ok, if that is true, can you guys recommend a phone for me that has the following features:

1. Color screen
2. GSM for Cingular
3. Can use the $3.99 CSD
4. Flip-phone
5. Affordable

Thanks.

no GSM phone will allow you to use the 3.99 wireless internet.... that was only offered for TDMA, atleast that is what we are told.
Besides the 3.99 used your minutes, i would much rather it use data than minutes.. Using the net on the new phones uses very little data, i played on the net on my phone the other day and downloaded some ring tones and it only used 103 kilobytes of information. now at 1/2 cent a kilobyte, that's pretty dirt cheap... so the pay per use is a good idea if you ask me.....

I don't understand why the CSD $3.99 Wireless Internet wouldn't work on the X427 because when I put the X427 in my "shopping cart" at Cingular's website it lets me select "Wireless Internet" for $3.99 as an extra feature.

Can anyone with a X427 verify that CSD $3.99 Wireless Internet works with the X427?
