Anyone Bet With cell phone or PDA?

I have hp rx3715

is that unit a cell phone? does it use WAP or Wireless Web? looks like just a PDA with the ability to surf the web with a 'regular' internet connection, not wireless.

WillBill are those like the "Sidekicks" I see commercials for?

I had the first version of the Sidekick, black and white. It is a very nice device for the money, but the T-Mobile coverage was bad where I lived so I moved onto this Treo 300. The Treo gets access to a few more book websites actually. The one downfall of the Sidekick is it can't handle any form of Java. The Treo 300 can't either, but it can get around it better. The Treo 600 and 650 supposedly can handle it very well, hence I look forward to getting one in a few months. Still I can do things such as check and write with Hotmail and keep in touch with some work related sites. Sure a computer works a whole lot better, but still when you are on the road a lot or work long hours at times the phone is a lifesaver.

The service is only $50 which includes phone service (300 anytime minutes, unlimited off-peak) and unlimited internet.

I have internet for $5 bucks a month from t-mob through a regular Motorola flip phone, but now have a Blackberry phone/PDA with unlimited access (and a bigger screen)

I heard Youbet (horses) is going wireless, but I think you would need special software, with so many betting choices in a race and odds etc.

What I have now, just using WAP sites, don't need any special software.

There's a way to get full internet on the $5 plan with your cell phone. It has to do with using the browser "Opera". I'm waiting for my new phone to arrive on Monday to try it.

What is the best site to get MLB scores on the cell phone?

I use yahoo & CBS sportsline, but it is so irritating that you have to click on EACH GAME seperatly to see the score of that particular game....

I would like a site that had a list of all the days games on one page, & showed the current scores aswell, & one could simply refresh.....

I use the individual score pages for ESPN. Take all the graphics out and they load very quickly. Depends on your phone I guess, with a PDA you can find the score page and then set it as a favorite so the scores for the whole league come up quick.
