Got mega jetlag and have been surfing online. Found this cool service that converts emails to text messages to your phone, for free.

This could totally take the place of my blackberry, except for the fact that each text msg is limited to 120 characters, meaning that each of my emails would require about 10+ text msgs. Good thing is that you can limit the number of text msgs received for each email, as well as from which friends/email accounts you receive texts from. Coupled with an unlimited message plan, it would come out way cheaper than a blackberry plan for the casual user.
