Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I live in Florida, so we have quite a lot of cell phone companies to |
| 4 |
choose from. I get to order a new phone and new service. Most importantly, |
| 5 |
I'm looking for a cell phone that exchanges data with a gentoo laptop, |
| 6 |
easily (kmobiletools) or some other kde gui based app. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Then I'd like the option for wireless internet connectivity (flat rate). |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
or the ability to use the ppp+cell phone for access thru my firewalled |
| 11 |
static IP connection. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Any recommendations? |
| 14 |

I do like the usb port on a motorola razr, but, I not sure mot-cell phones |
| 16 |
are friendly with linux/gentoo....... One of my co-workers (windoz user) |
| 17 |
just got a razr and it get's reception where my krufty-LG does not, both |
| 18 |
using Alltel. |
| 19 |
|

I like alltel and have an unlimited access plan in a small geographic area |
| 21 |
(basically 4 counties in Florida) so Alltel and a ???.cellphone would be keen. |
| 22 |
But, I can switch to a new cell phone company, if something really works |
| 23 |
good with Gentoo(KDE) as we are shuffling cell phones around the company |
| 24 |
this weekend...... |

Verizon does have a suposedly 300+ kbps wireless net access plan in Florida, |
| 27 |
but, I'm not sure if you can get a flat rate price on that. Paying |
| 28 |
metered feeds for wireless access via a cell phone, is not an option |
| 29 |
(we're a small company). |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Googling does not produce anything to get excited about, so I thought I'd |
| 32 |
seek advise (or learn which phones to avoid) from this gentoo+user list. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
thoughts? |
