Ors,

Please clarify as the Weather Channel has mobile alerts already available. I use this one and I have had good luck them as well. The problem with some service providers like the Weather channel and Accuweather is they charge a fee for their services in addition to the fees you would pay with your service provider. Oregon Scientific makes a pocket NOAA weather receiver as does Midland some of the FRS/GMRS radios also have NOAA weather monitoring capabilities. These are all nice, but won't let you see the radar like your cell phone, blackberry, PDA, which is why I use a Palm Treo 650. Now if I could only get an instant (NOAA) weather alert on it as I have noticed a delay of up to 1/2 hour <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I would not need a portable weather alert monitor. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Take care,
