A generous friend picked up a beautiful 7520 with an unlimited NEXTEL service plan. How nice...It works wonderfully for sending and receiving email. However that's the end of the good news.

I cannot use it in any form in combination with my Macintosh laptop as supplied. I am aware of the 3rd party PocketMac software for synching up...but I have had no success in using the 7520 as a wireless modem for getting online with my Mac. Also, I cannot really browse internet sites, as the phone does not seem to see HTML. I am told this is a limitation of the carrier, Nextel, although I am getting the $100 unlimited wireless internet plan. Tech support says it only supports WAP browsing...but I cannot believe this!

Any one with similar experience, solutions?
