Is there a device that works as a pager, sends text-messages, and has wireless web access?
I’ve used BellSouth Wireless Data’s Interactive Messaging for many years as a mobile messaging platform. Yes, they look like the ubiquitous RIM Blackberry devices, but before Blackberry existed RIM devices were the most widespread pager among police and fire departments (and the Mobitex packet data network was one of the only communications networks functioning in NYC on 9/11). It’s not cheap, kind of ugly, but it does everything and has a decent keyboard. I suspect you could find a prettier device and similar functionality plus voice from some cell provider, but you’ll pry my RIM 950 from my cold dead hands.
