I think I should change the nature of my question. I assumed too much with the
Linux OS requirement for the phone/pda. It would be cool to have Linux
running on the phone/pda, (ssh to a server in an xterminal would be fun the
first 2 or 3 times ;-) ). I should have said I need the phone/pda to sync
with Kontact and have the option of downloading my own Java Midlets.

Beyond that, I am also looking for bluetooth ear piece, 1.3-2 megapixel
camera, email, address book, calendar, view/edit OO documents. Typical PDA
stuff...oh, and a phone!

Thanks!

Mark
