Hi im new here with ? I have ordered the new palm trio 700wx , not yet recvd. My ? is

1-should I have yes or no not purchased the palm wifi card when Im going to order the powervision through sprint pcs as it is.

2-the pcs rep said if I was to use the wifi card , That I will still have to have an internet provider, or I will be paying for over charges if I choose the wifi card alone and not use a provider. Dont know if a sale was being pushed on me or not ? but still did buy the card and has not yet arrived, im new to this new device. I do have at home a dell 9300 laptop with a built in wireless crd. and a router.

3-last ? is does the windows come with a pre-installed norton or some like program , or is that a must to purchase as well thank you all.

The wifi card is good if you want to connect to your home network or connect somewhere else when you do not have EVDO (Power Vision) connection. I am sure they MADE you purchase Power Vision with your plan - so you don't necessarily need the wifi card if you are in an EVDO coverage area. EVDO is typically pretty darn fast!

There is no virus sw for the wx as far as I know.
