The phones, like the headsets, have come down quite a bit unless you really want a UMPC level smartphone. The keyboard is pretty good for texting, and the battery life is much improved. Let's hope so, and let's hope they also figure out how to make it less dorky! :) Dorky is in the eye of the beholder. --- I wish my grass was emo, so it would cut itself. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Note: You could have all that coolness...build the device entirely yourself with available hardware and open-source software...*BUT ONLY IF* building your own cellular radio wasn't illegal. Because of that ONE reg... we have to buy all this gadgetry which we could otherwise make ourselves.

It would be nice if there were more unlocked phones for reasonable money, hopefully android or something like it can change the face of the market.
