I find google chrome faster, but it may not help in the evening peak hours. Try out !
It is the server and bandwidth of the EMB system...I am currently already checking for my DS but communication of the details to DS is difficult as we might not understand the terms used in the message and how really important are they.
Also note a tendency of the teachers putting up notices last minute or during lesson hour/late into the day for something that will take place on the next morning, same day or even a couple of hours later.... -
Saw a message on EMBs regarding ACE Options term 2. Anyone know what it is?

He can also check and reply his emails, post msg on facebook to communicate with his classmates much faster and easier. He also keys in important events, test dates etc and set alarm reminders. He can check arrival time of next bus so that he can decide to wait or to take another bus no. with alternate route. He has data base of all his classmates' emails, mobile, home tel, address in iphone and it makes him so easy to reach out to his friends, even if he is on the road. When I am overseas and he has questions for me, he will take a picture of the text on the book and send it over to me, and the list go on...

The conclusion is you need a organizer (iPhone) and it will make your life much easier. (and btw, just want to clarify...I AM NOT AN APPLE's SALESMAN) -

It can be any smart phones. But I cannot comment on other smart phones because I only have experience with Iphone. My DS plan cost me $50+ per month. His plan is with Singtel, the data usage allowable is 2GB, which is more than enough.

I think he has a free upgrade from 2GB usage to 12GB, same like your DS.
