BTW, I can't get the bridge browser to load past the first page (as I've seen from a few other folks as well). But at least I got the rest of it working, thanks to a couple of very helpful guys in the AT&T bridge-b!tching thread. ;)
But anyway, considering the very limited and slow function of the bridge browser, AT&T's braintrust must be high to think they're justified in milking customers for more money for it. Seriously, even if it ever works right, nobody would use it unless they absolutely had to.
