Switching off and on wouldn't be such a problem if it didn't take several hours to boot again ;) I still like mine on the whole, but it does occasionally decide it’s not going to bother checking mail any more.

With my SMT5600 I've seen instances where I can't check anything via GPRS at home in the early AM, but it's fine after I drive to work (or vice versa). At least where I live, voice may be working while GPRS is unavailable.<BR/><BR/>One tip that can help with this: if you get both AT&T Wireless and 310410 (Cingular) towers, try switching to the other tower using Settings > Phone > Networks > Select a Network. Usually the act of switching will provide a fresh GPRS call that can retrieve the e-mail.<BR/><BR/>I'm managing three different accounts daily with my SMT5600! Love it.
