Greetings from Kentucky.... and some Treo700wx ramblings

Hello everyone, I'm new here so don't come down on me too hard if a few of my questions have been addressed before.

As I said in the subject, I live in south western Kentucky and I currently have a Treo 700wx with Bluegrass Cellular as my carrier. Since I've owned this pda for about 2 months now I've come up with some questions and was hoping someone on here would know about it...

1.) I was using pOutlook to check my gmail account when suddenly one day last week it stopped receiving new messages. I've checked the account settings on both the PDA and POP access for gmail. I'm thinking of just creating another email address somewhere and having my messages forward to it, unless someone knows what in the world is going on with gmail.

2.) Should calls interrupt my internet browsing? Because it doesn't, it just forwards the call to VM. I've seen a few posts on here that mention something about EVDO? I'm assuming that's the "high speed" internet connection available in larger cities. As I said, I live in KY and I doubt bluegrass cellular has anything of the sort. Regardless, all of my calls are routed to voicemail if I'm browsing or if it's checking for new email messages (every 15 mins, currently).

3.) Do I seriously have to restart the phone portion of the PDA so much? I'm guessing I've got a setting wrong somewhere, but I have to restart the phone on this thing SEVERAL times daily. It'll either get stuck trying to connection to "High Speed Data Connection" or simply refuse to make outbound phone calls (comes back with a "phone connection error" or something of the sort). Usually, a phone restart will fix the issue, but it won't be long before it needs restarting again.

4.) Is there any other mail client software I can use besides pOutlook? I'm envisioning something like "Portable Thunderbird", but I have yet to see anything online.

I suppose that's all I've got for now, thanks for reading and thanks in advance to anyone who responds.
