That is not a problem for me because I am single. :) > > > If you want a phone that is going to Just Work, get a Nokia. I already have a Nokia, but it lacks many of the features I used on my Palm Z22. My Nokia is Series 40, though, not Series 60. I have never used Series 60. I asked Nokia whether they have a GSM phone with all of the specific features I listed in my original post. They said they do not, but they did not mention which features they lack. > > > If you want a Linux smart phone to hack about on, an Openmoko Freerunner > fits the bill quite nicely, except for the animation speed on the > screen, which is markedly slow. > > I should probably be specific here - the phone is almost certainly going > to need flashing when you get it, and that's going to require a command > line. > You're probably going to want to change something to get something > working, and that's going to require running ssh to connect to the phone > on the command line, and changing something, somewhere. That is also not a problem: I work as a Webmaster and Linux + Windows sysadmin for Techsol, which is an embedded computer hardware company that specialises in Linux on ARM technology. Our SA2410 Medallion CPU Module uses the Samsung S3C2410AL. See <http://medallionsystem.com/>. This site has multiple usability issues, though. I am almost done the redesign, which is more focused on products and features only 1 product per page. Anyway, I have experience with flashing firmware and using the CLI via SSH. For example, I installed and configured DD-WRT on a Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 a few months ago. I use the CLI on Debian Linux or Ubuntu almost every day. I use gvim to edit the XML source for Techsol’s Web sites. I love Vim because I can do everything with only the keyboard.
