Seriously, why pay an arm and a leg every month for internet on your phone? it's a fucking 3x4 inch screen. WTF are you going to do on that that you can't do on a regular cell phone??
For those of you who didn't know this, you can text just about anything to GOOGLE and they text you back the search results. And it's completely free... aside from whatever your cell plan charges you for texting.
Example... you decide you want to go from one bar to another, because the other one might have a certain out of the area NFL game up that the bar you're at isn't showing... But you don't want to drive across town without knowing for sure... Do you dig up the yellow pages? No, you just text google the bar name and the town you're in, and they text you back the address and phone number... you then call the bar and find out! Ta-da! Totally free.
Looking for a pizza joint? Search for pizza and your zip code or city... Bam, you get a listing of all the places...
Search sports scores, stock quotes... about the only thing an iPhone lets you do that you can't do otherwise is pull up google maps... but I *think* there's a way to do that on most phones with a webapp you can install on your cell phone anyways... And then you just do it with the installed app, not via safari... But I don't use that cause I don't want to pay $100 bucks a month for my cell bill, because google SMS works just fine.
