I was thinking of an idea for those who only have the option to use a
non-gsm phone (i.e., US-based Sprint/Verizon customers). These
carriers will only activate devices they sell, but there is a way
around it. Most of them market a compact-flash data card which also
has voice capabilitie, intended for use with a PDA. So, what if a
future Neo had a CF slot instead of a gsm module? Then you can get
the carrier's CF data/voice card, and plug it in similar to how you
would use a sim card.
Any thoughts?
It all depends if drivers exist or can be written for it.
Compactflash is quite a big card format. I like it since my SLR
cameras use it, but it's not common on PDAs anymore for size reasons.
Maybe you would be better with a Linux PDA with CF slot? since you
could get one now and start using it.
