Perhaps, but I'd slice it three ways and add more:
service:
voice, sms, fax, data, textphone, freephone
connection:
landline, mobile
I'm not sure I'd bother distinguishing between landline and mobile, for
the same reasons that you mentioned.
While I'm aware that we're discussing possible changes to vcard, rather
than ways of using the current hCard, I think this is a case where
looking at what people actually publish (and allow for in forms) on the
web; and what address-book apps allow for, would be useful (even is a
revision to vCard, or changing user behaviour, ultimately causes changes
in the latter)
Is suspect that many people currently publish both "phone" and "mobile"
numbers'; and that a good many apps have a similar binary
classification.
Outlook 2002 has a range of options, but these include home, office
*and* mobile (with the obvious implication that the first two are
land-lines).
Two more things to bear in mind; some people's mobile phones support
mutimedia messaging (MMS) and/or Push-to-talk (PTT), others do not; and
all these distinctions may disappear, and others emerge, in the next -
say - ten or twenty years.
