WIFI Email/IM Device

I'm a college student on a campus with pretty good WIFI coverage. I'm looking for a mobile device that I can use to check and send email as well as IM(AOL) using the WIFI network. I'd also prefer a full QWERTY keyboard built in. I've looked at the Sony Milo and Verizon's XV6700, but was wondering if there might be any other/better/cheaper options. Whether it's a mobile phone, PDA or something else, doesn't really matter. I don't really need the cell phone capability, but if I could use it with my carrier verizon as an all in one device that would convenient but absolutely not necessary. The point is I don't want to pay to chat/check email over the cell network when I can do it for free just about anywhere I am using WIFI. I also don't really need top of the line, just something that does the job. So I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions on devices to take a look at?

Thanks,

Nick
