The contract on my mobile phone is coming up for renewal soon, so I'm |
| 2 |
shortly going to be in the market for a shiny new phone. (NB: I'm in |
| 3 |
the UK, so it is devices available in this country that I'm interested |
| 4 |
in). |

I'm looking for a few specific things... |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
* Can talk to my Gentoo box |
| 9 |
* Has a calendar ... that can sync with Evolution |
| 10 |
* Has a keyboard or good handwriting recognition |
| 11 |
* Lets me write text files and then send them to my Gentoo box |
| 12 |
* Not /too/ expensive (Sub-£100 after the contract subsidy) |

Any recommendations for devices? |

|
| 16 |
Things that seem to fit are the Nokia Communicator replacement and |
| 17 |
various Pocket PC (eeek, Microsoft!) devices (although I don't know |
| 18 |
how well either of them work with Linux - Google kept turning up hits |
| 19 |
to review pages that had "linux" somewhere in the sidebar). |
