[tlug] Kyocera AH-K3001V (Opera Browser!)

["Lyle (Hiroshi) Saxon" <ronfaxon@example.com>]

I helped a friend get set up with a new cell phone yesterday - a Kyocera 
AH-K3001V (DDI).  It has the usual camera and telephone book instruction 
guide, and... and... aaannnnddd... it can access regular webpages!  The 
ones I've seen from other companies so far can open simplistic sites 
designed for cell phones, but display a "Can't display" message for most 
regular sites of more complicated design.  Is this Kyocera DDI ability 
to view regular pages just an ordinary thing that all cell phones can do 
now, or is it something unique?

It comes with the Opera Browser and what the box calls "PRiN - Provider 
Included", which is nice for easy set up, but irritating as I would much 
rather be able to just use the phone to make (cheap) calls to a server 
and access the Internet more cheaply that way.

One thing I was disappointed to see is that this new model doesn't have 
the jack that my old Kyocera has for the modem I've been using for years 
with different DDI phones.  Apparently it works through the USB 
connection it has, but my old laptops don't have USB....
