sorry this may be a stupid question to some but for a person who doesn't keep up to date with technology... is wifi on a phone the same as having a wireless network card on a computer? so if i had wifi on my phone, I can surf the net free of charge if I am within a wireless network range (with password of course)?

Are there any wifi memory sticks that work with p910?

Yes; you can. Such as with the Nokia 9500 - and in some cases no passwords are necessary

I am not aware of any; but there may be. Up-to-date SE folks will be able to tell.

that was answered nicely(or maybe I ask easy, direct questions )

I am getting a hands-me-down p910 because the w800 i had was really good for camera/mp3 but I do not use those features enough. I checked most of the pda phones with wifi and those are like 2/3 the price of an average laptop. I also don't like how they either have those ugly keyboard (tero) or doesn't even have a numberpad. The p910 has everything i want but wifi.

I hope someone writes a program to have the p910 work with the memory stick wifi that works with the clio
