Nokia 6820 and popmail
So, THE phone I have been waiting for is finally here - the 6820. Small, good reception, qwerty keypad, and bluetooth. But I only see it offered at ATT.
The catch? While the description of the phone says "popmail capable", in looking at ATT plans, you see either:
1. mMode (which looks like it only allows web based email, or specific accounts (yahoo, etc).
2. Mobile office, which requires not only a windows machine, but that the windows machine be ON all the time to deal with the email.
Does anyone know if/how the 6820 could be made to check my popmail using ATT? I have a tmobile Sidekick, but it is SUCH a bad phone (good email and web, but bad reception and awkward size), I would gladly switch to the 6820 and ATT if I can get emai lto work.
Advice welcomed

So...I ended up going with the SE T610 from tmobile. I am not thrilled about trying to type email on that thing, but for $175 less for the phone, and $10 less per month, I get unlimited data (vs ATTs 8 MB/mo), 300 mins/mo (vs ATT 200), and free nights and weekends (vs none from ATT). Also, the T610 is supported by isync, so I will not have to jump through hoops to sync my address book and calendar.
Thankfully, I only signed a one year contract (and they gave me the first 6 months free!), so by that time hopefully there will be a great messaging phone out that does everything I want.
