This could be more appealing if the device is free and subscriber only pays for the monthly service or bring it down to let say $50 and $5/month. The developer promises to support attachment viewing, HTML mail, Calendar...in future firmware releases I agree about the pricing.

I'm still scratching my head on this. But non-techie people usually don’t need access to email “on the go”… and to pay $19.99 a month for the service? I’m still scratching my head on this.

I pay $10 for FULL INTERNET on my HTC Touch and most people have a cell phone anyways, so it's $19.99 + whatever you are paying for your cell... doesn't make sense to me.
