Hey Woody, Just a word of warning - the FR is a very fun device to play with - but if you expect it to be a fully functioning phone, you will probably be disappointed. I tried to use it as my cell phone for a long time, and found it *very* frustating - regularly missed calls and had to reboot it because it had hung. I've been using an N900 for a couple of months now, and am very happy with it - isn't quite as open as the FR, but it is open *enough* for me, and it *works*... Of course if laying out $200 for an FR is a problem, then the N900 is probably out of reach... Good luck.
