A feature that could be extended to DSL customers...
(old news - 09:01AM Thursday Sep 06 2007)
tags: Fiber · competition · business · wireless · mail · Verizon FIOS
It appears the folks at Verizon are getting ready to announce a few more FiOS features, including the ability to check your FiOS e-mail via mobile phone and a bump for e-mail storage to 4GB. It looks like access to FiOS e-mail will be made possible via a new drag-and-drop app that will be downloadable from their "Get it Now" section:
"I expect the app to be free, but there could be a nominal monthly charge to use the wireless e-mail service under lower priced plans. Some of the initial phones I'm hearing that will be compatible with the service: LG's enV, Chocolate and VX8300 plus the MOTORAZR V3m & V9m." [emphasis added]
It looks like the service could also be headed to DSL customers sometime down the line. This clearly aims to do battle with Sprint and cable's co-branded Pivot service, which has seen very slow deployment. Verizon insiders confirm these details with us, and there should be an announcement shortly.

Not for me

1. The politician that use to live up the road has moved, so no fios here.
2. This is Qwest territory, so no fios here.
3. What is a cell phone ? Do not have one.

Just what I always wanted

They already have this

VZW launched an application earlier this summer called mobile e-mail. It's downloadable for $5 a month through Get It Now. It allows access to Verizon.net accounts, as well as AOL, Windows Live (Hotmail) and Yahoo!. You can also set it up to check your comcast.net (or any other POP3/IMAP server) through manual configuration.

Re: They already have this

well i for one dont need 4GB of email...course how many folks even need 2?

I would rather they up web space and give it more features 10mb is a joke these days for web space with the option to buy more....( this may have changed but i stopped looking after a while)
