If you don't have an online broker and want to make wireless trades, you must open an account. Shop Around Brokers offer similar wireless services. If you are looking for a broker with a track record in wireless, Boston-based Fidelity is worth a look. Keep in mind that the quality of wireless service varies. It can be unpredictable, as anyone who has ever lost a call in mid-conversation knows.
Many investors have qualms about using wireless devices.
They would prefer bigger screens that display more information. But the trend in cell phones and PDAs is toward lighter, less-bulky devices.

Firms that offer direct-access trading say that their technology is superior to that of traditional online brokerage firms.
