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.

my point exactly.
just for laughs, here's my "requirements" list for a cellphone:
- good battery lifetime, both talking and standby
- good reception in poorly covered areas
- must be possible to voice-dial via bluetooth headset
- must be possible to connect it to my laptop by means of bluetooth, usb cable, or infrared, to comfortably edit the adressbook, put ringtones on it without paying for jamba bullshit, and to use it as a modem (AT commands of course!!)
- as stated above, customizable ringtones. if you've ever seen how 20++ suits grab all their pockets because somewhere in the tram there was a nokia default ringtone beeping...
nothing less. and above all, NOTHING MORE!!
