You might take a look at the Trolltech Greenphone: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8030785497.html http://www.trolltech.com/products/qtopia/greenphone
It's got 1, 2, & 4 down pat. I don't think it has wifi, so I'm not sure how it would be with respect to your #3. Cheers, Tanner On 11/27/06, Phillip Rhodes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi all, I'd like to solicit some recommendations for a new phone and wireless carrier. I'm a little behind the times on keeping up with the latest in the world of mobile devices and phone and what-not, so hopefully somebody can clue me in on how to find something suitable. Basically, what I want is this: 1. a smartphone / pda that uses Linux as the OS 2. and has a JVM for running j2me / midp apps 3. good wireless networking support. Eg, I want to be able to access the Internet from as close to "anywhere" as possible. 4. Relative to 1, 2 and 3 above, I want something that's as "open" as possible in terms of what programs I can run on the device and what features I can access. For example, I might want to write a j2me app to run on the phone, make an Internet connection to a server and sync the address book on the phone with some other address book, or something of that nature. beyond that, a large display, semi-usable (or better) keyboard and nifty features like bluetooth, etc. are pluses. So, does such a beast exist? And if so, where is it and where can I find one? :-) Thanks, Phil P.S. - apologies for the cross-post to anybody who receives this twice as a result of being on Tri-LUG and Tri-JUG lists. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
