What Internet Phones Will Do


Get the news
You can have articles from key newspapers sent to your phone--say, reviews of the latest movies or last night's score for your favorite baseball team.

Play the market
You can be notified if the stock prices of selected companies move 5% or more in a day. Then make a buy or a sale.

Date Book
Use your phone to check the calendar you keep posted on the Web.

Get a chuckle
Need a morale boost? Call the joke Web site. For 50 cents, an E-mail joke zips to your phone. Sample: So what do you get if you send the Godfather to law school? An offer you can't understand.

Change your ring
Browse a Web site to get a new song to replace the ring on your phone. Choose anything from Mozart to the Rolling Stones.
