STUPID Questions about Mobile Web...

Hello to everyone here on PhoneScoop...

I'll make this quick: I use VZW's Mobile Web (or W.W. -Wireless Web-) and it's getting to a point where some things are just bothering the hell outta me.

I contstantly use it to go online to check things like my e-mail at Yahoo! and MSN. It's beggining to bother me because I'm sick of using it looking at text-only emails. Why can't I use or see HTML emails on my phone and is there ANY way around it?

Ahh, I see... Thanks a lot my friend; you have shed some light on some things. But I do have this one question to ask...

I understand that the whole email thing is text-only, which as you said sucks, but I can go to other various pages and view them in all their HTML glory, but as on some other phones, which are able to "download" a picture or tone by pushing a 'SoftKey', the 8100 does not allow that... as you may only have to option to push the right softkey (which is Menu) and the left softkey would be to download something.

So, even though I'm sure you already answered this question (or I probably answered my own question) did Verizon disable this feature on purpose? It could POSSIBLY be understandable why they'd deny you the abilit...
