News Ticker in V3i?

It has yet to be seen whether the software will be released to create your own WAP Screen 3 news feeds.

Does your friend's V3i show the MEdai Net page properly?

I can connect but that page is crippled. "Go to URL" works so I know I'm online. I'm on Cingular (Orange) in So. Ca.
