Sarcasm aside, Zoran has a very good point. Putting cellular capability on the IT would be as appropriate as putting it on a washing machine. While it would be great to be able to talk to someone while doing laundry, it is not really the purpose of the machine. I wouldn't have bought a 770 or a N800 if it had a GSM/3G/Super-duper next-gen phone built in. Reasons: - It would add $100 to the cost - It would be a purchase that keeps on costing a monthly fee and cost even more when using it traveling - I already have a bare-bones cell phone that makes calls just fine ... most people have - It would tie it to region/plan that would be difficult to transfer out of - It would tie it to some specific technology that doesn't have the longevity/compatibility of wifi/BT - It would consume a great deal more power I think these ITs make a good break from legacy tech like cellular and leave that crowded market to other models. _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
