Finally, a real PCS. Anyone else want a WAP alternative?

            i-mode coming to the states? NTT DoCoMo is
              reportedly in talks to acquire a small stake in the wireless
              phone venture planned by SBC Communications and
              BellSouth. If it goes through, the deal could bring
              DoCoMo's i-mode service to the U.S. The i-mode
              service, which allows consumers access to e-mail and
              other Internet services from their cell phones, is wildly
              popular in Japan, where is enjoys a consumer base of
              about 10 million. Analysts suggest DoCoMo's
              technology could win over many of the U.S. wireless
              content providers who've grown tired of using wireless
              application protocol.
