E-mail by SMS dude. (Score 1)

Over here in Australia, we have the highest mobile phone usage in the world. Or at least one of the highest.

There's an incredibly popular service (EVERYONE with a mobile phone is signed up, at least everyone I've ever met) called Blue Sky Frog.

Basically, it gives you different Operator logo's on your phone or can SMS you slashdot headlines etc. But it also has an E-mail -> SMS bridge and an SMS -> E-mail bridge.

So you could just send e-mail back and forth from your mobile phone instead of having a PDA too. Especially if you have a nice phone with an organizer (Nokia Communicator, Motorala Accompli etc), except these phones are all WAP capable anyway. But still... :) ANYWAYS, the downside is, that SMS (short message service, if you haven't already figured that out) is limited to 160 characters per message. So it's probably not good enough for day-to-day usage just yet, but it makes a cool toy.
