The 950 seems like it'd be great for checking email, etc. at times when you don't feel like hauling out and booting up a netbook/laptop.

Yep, I've seen anywhere from $20 to $40 a night overseas. And when it's free it's typically unreliable or they give you a stack of codes for 1 hour at a time....
I have been able to use the 950 to check and send emails successfully. It works well with gmail. It is a bit cumbersome with my ISP webmail since their website design is too cluttered.
You can even check the MobileRead forums. The mobile version of MR gives me an error, but the full version works fine. I was surprised that Sony had a preloaded bookmark for the goodreads mobile site, and it seems to work ok too.
