palmOne has released yet another Phone Link Update which allows you to connect your PDA to even more cell phones with various service providers.

palmOne Phone Link Update

Your handheld is compatible with a number of mobile phones and service providers out of the box. Phone Link Update adds more phones and service providers, so that you can use your mobile phone's Internet connection with these applications on your handheld:
