The future is mobile. That much we know for sure. But it seems that the operating system world in this market is being rapidly taken over by --again-- Microsoft. The new smart phones are are using WinCE, Symbian or Palm. Linux has barely 1% of this new, smartphone market.

Right now I do have a choice. But how much longer can I buy a cell phone with MS software? Symbian Software?
From whom will i be able to do this? Right now I can't buy a desktop from Dell without Windows, I can't buy one from Gateway or IBM without one either. So what do I do?
I can build a computer, I can't build a cell phone.
I don't need shit that sucks down 64MB of memory for an embedded device. I don't need something that has 3 hours of talk time. With batteries the way they are now, if I don't use a Color LCD, constant flash access or anything else I should be able to get 7+ hours of talk time...days of standby.
you don't need them either.
No one does. You think you do because you're a lemming and a sheep, who buys into market speak! Congrats, you're my boss.
