It's just a question of the right device appearing. If the Nokia
N800/810 had a 3G & GSM chipset, I'd never need another phone, but it
hasn't... still, if something comes along with:
1. Bluetooth (with audio, data, network & peripheral I/O)
2. Wifi
3. USB support (host & peripheral)
4. GSM
5. EDGE
6. 3G
7. WiMax
8. Debian-based Linux
9. Good sized display
10. Charge from USB port or standard power
11. Camera (snapshop, webcam, video recording)
12. Microphone
13. Sync with Evolution (Calendar, Contacts)
... and the usual linux stuff, then I'd buy it.
