Hi Sam,
The trouble with the Communicator for this purpose, is that it has no
wireless access, except for Infrared, and it does not have any Bluetooth or
anything like that. So the only way you could access Email, corporate or
otherwise, would be by dial-up, as the Communicator doesn't even have
GPRS. Some of the other phones though, such as the Nokia 3650, 3660, 6600,
7650, the newly released 7610, the Nokia N-Gage, and the Siemens SX1 may
have some of these features, although none have wireless networking. But
they all have GPRS.
Finally, there is the Nokia 9500 Communicator, which is due out later in
the year, and I honestly believe this may be the equivalent to the
Blackberry, in terms of these features, and it will be accessible with Talks.
Hope this helps.
All the best
