Why a cell phone? Do you want voice phone functionality plus access to the Internet, everywhere? You get that with Nokia 770 + a bluetooth enabled multiprotocol (GPRS/EDGE) cell phone, e.g., the Nokia 6021 which prices at slightly over $100. For VOIP, use Gizmo SIP software. And the 770 doubles as a (still primitive) PDA. Laptop transfer works for me over bluetooth too, using scp over Bluetooth/DUN service. And within WLAN reach you don't even need the BT phone.
What I want: * voice phone * sms messages without the horrors of writing text through a 10-digit interface. I.e. a real keyboard but of course miniaturized. * some kind of real writing (lyx is _perfect_) now that there is a real keyboard to write on. * Internet would be nice - but any kind of transfer capability will do for the documents. Of course - when a device runs linux and have "some kind of transfer capability" then it is only a question of programming before you can tunnel IPv4 over anything. Built-in capability from the start is nice though. * And I preferably want it all in one device. Not two sets of batteries, chargers, and so on. * Now, if it plays music and have a gps too - well nobody makes a device with everything. :-/
A cellphone with a qwerty keyboard is what I really want. If I can get that,
and with linux even - then another box seems very redundant! Helge Hafting
