Can anybody access MSN Hotmail from their Nextel?
I just subscribed to the Premium Web service on my Nextel i830 because I want to be able to access my MSN Hotmail among other things.
So far, when I enter my ID and password, all I get is "we failed to log you into passport.net" blah ba blah ba blah.
I've called the customer support at least a half dozen times on this issue and I've gotten answers ranging from reset the phone browser to you must have a problem with your hotmail ID and finally one stupid girl actually said "the premium web is for accessing POP3 email and hotmail is not POP3 by default - it's an extra service you have to pay for on your hotmail account". NO BS, she actually said something to that effect and blew me off. I figured I would just keep calling until I got a...

Mobile email would not give you the ability to access your corporate email from your phone unless you are using it as a Modem W/ the Packet Stream Gold service. This require a data device like the BLACKBERRY, and a Data Service Plan. Not to mention the fact that your companies IT Department has to give you the ability to access your email from that device, otherwise you would not be able to get through the companies firewall.

However, the BLACKBERRY is a full data device and can recieve attachm...

That is incorrect. You can access corporate Email accounts with the Mobile Email package.

Mobile-Email allows the handset to access POP-3 emails and some corporate emails. You will need to check with your IT department to see if there a firewall or any restrictions regarding that.
