I was just thinking today about how cool it would be to have an OpenBSD
phone, and then I saw your post. How bizarre. Anyway, the closest thing I
have found to a "pocket computer phone" is the android line of phones. I've
had an original Droid, and now I have a Droid Incredible, and I absolutely
love them. They have multitasking, ssh (ConnectBot), email, full web
browsers, and my favorite feature: the ability to connect to a bluetooth
keyboard. Sometimes I forget I'm using a phone at all. I don't see many
comparable "open" phones coming any time soon, so in the meantime, this is
the best I've found out there. Good luck on your phone search.
