Personally, I think the following requirments would rock: 1. PDA and Cell Phone Should be same device. 2. Need access to a packet-switched cell network (limited in most places). 3. Must have keyboard. Stylus bad. 4. Must fit in pocket or have belt-clip. 5. Must have ssh client. 6. Must have reasonably good phone book. Nokia good. Motorola bad. That's about it. I don't care about syncing or any application support because I would prefer to ssh to my home/office machine and just use console apps. Anyhoo, I've been looking for a while and some possible candidates are the Nokia Communicator and the Handspring Treo. If anyone knows of other devices with the required functionality please let me know. g -- Brought to you by Debian 3.0 Linux took 2.4.16 #1 SMP Sat Jan 5 12:52:24 EST 2002 i686 unknown
