I wish I could buy a very special cell phone. it would send and receive calls, keep a phone number listing, and that would be it. no camera, games, web browsing (who actually uses that, anyway?).
anyone know where I can get such a magical cell phone?
I have a motorola that has that 😉
I use web browsing on PDAs as I like to see if my machine is acting up remotely
but ofcourse not for everyone
murray, get a siemens c25, it has all you need
i’m waiting for siemens to release a bloothoot keyboard and get a java ssh client, so i can work from the mountan:)
…the more sophisticated it is, the higher the risk of having bugs (Fejack’s law)
That’s why a few months ago I bought a “new in box” Nokia 8850. It’s only dual band and features a B&W screen. It just has a phone number registry, a basic SMS client and a very concise agenda. What else do you need.
The good points is that I only paid 25% of the initial launch price, with full warranty; it has the universal earphone plug Nokia dropped on new models in favor of a proprietary one; and it uses the same battery as two current models: the 8890 and the 8910, so that won’t be a problem to replace a few years down the road.
If I really need the features offered by a PDA I’ll buy one that I will be able to use with the IRDA port or a Wireless port.
