Funny, the O2XDA is taken of the market now in Holland. Replacing it
for a new model. Old models probably went to Australia :-)
anyway, a dutch online broker made his website work with the XDA.
You could buy them specialy for that broker. Any broker that handels
orders through the internet, you can acces with the XDA as long as
the broker is not running Java or something (like Interactive brokers does)
With the XDA (or for that matter, any new PDA with GPRS or PDA with
a GPRS phone) will be able to surf the internet and for instance log into
you home pc to check how your orders are doing etc.
Ofcourse the screen is small 240 x 320 but it is probably suficient.
Blackberry is just a kind of SMS / E-mail device for companies. Can not
surf the net with it as far as i know.....
Greetings
