You can find cheap gsm (+/- 150$) gateways too, although the cheap ones
will require a additional pstn card. (expensive ones could do sip)

There's been some (futile?) effort a while back attempting to get a
Bluetooth capable phone integrated into asterisk as a channel. The
idea, of course, was to make it possible to have asterisk utilize a
cellular connection for backup, calls on free nights/weekends, or free
in-network minutes.
How about skipping the phone entirely? I just found this --
http://www.falcom.de/?id=283
It's an integrated quad-band GSM engine with a USB connection. Claims
to be able to do data, fax, voice, SMS/MMS etc, even EDGE speeds.
Prices I found are 170 Euros or US$225. Considering the alternative
($20 USB dongle, $180 BT capable phone), this seems like a very
competitive option.
I'd expect it to be in Falcom's best interest to support development
efforts as it would open the asterisk market to them. Anyone up for
creating a bounty-page for this?
Voice traffic would be the first priority, but SMS would certainly be
a desired option. Personally, I wouldn't mind being able to utilize
EDGE as an emergency backup for my network, allowing at least mail
traffic and such.
