Before you go run out and buy a B/G card.....
Next time your at the hotspot location with your laptop, make note of the connection speed. Most of the ones that I've sniffed out are using 'B'. Given that once connected they are going to limit you to 1MbPS or less, chances are that those 'B' transmitters are never going to be swapped out.
With that said...
there is another hidden hurdle for handheld users to overcome. Our Browsers.
Most of these spots assume IE6 or above and Java. The last free hotspot I tried, I connected, got the introduction/rules page and that was about it. Even with Opera it did not like my ax51v. I gave up.

Will the x51v replace BOTH PDA's, my FLASH
MP3 player AND my MP4 Player?
We'll see...
