So my Treo 650 died.
Good.
I hated the $%#!@ thing and I will most likely not buy another Treo (unless 
it runs Linux).
Treo I could, Ericsson NOT! 

Anyway...
With all the new phone capabilities, I was waiting for my "dream phone" to 
materialize (Neo FreeRunner from openmoko.com) to ditch the Treo, but it 
seems that it won't happen...   :( 

So now I am on a crunch and I need help to find a phone...
My simple "specifications" are:
I want a phone that I can attach a real keyboard to and open up an SSH 
session using either WiFi or the the cellular network. 

In short, I want a "Laptop in my pocket" 

AND!
(Important AND)
I will not buy a Micro$haft phone!
(In fact I will not buy ANYTHING Micro$haft unless it is a LEAST-AND-URGENT 
resource) 

Finally, I am stuck at the moment with AT&T, but I would like something that 
I can plug anywhere.
Any ideas? 

Considering the Iphone, at least it is Apple...   :)
Thanks!
