Cell Phone for Palm?

[Rectalfier]

I heard that there is a cell phone that can connect to a palm without a palm modem, is this true?

I know that you can get a cell phone attachment that fits into the SpringBoard slot of a Visor. Not sure if you can get one for Palm though.

The whole idea is kind of silly anyway, considering that you can get a better standalone phone at a cheaper or similar price.

This might intrest you. Verizon should carry this end of first quarter Cell Phone

Verizon sadly hit the nail right on the head. If a cell/PDA becomes mainstream, it will be a cell with PDA features. Useability is essential, and i's a heck of a lot easier to talk on a phone than a PDA.

The Kyocera PDq has been out for a while in varying forms. The older models have been Palm IIIs with phone addons. Unfortunately, they've been outrageously expensive and bulky.

Sprint PCS now offers the LG TouchPoint 3000 (http://www.lge.com/eng/product/e_ci/ci_1/lgi_3000w.shtml).
When my PDA's synch capabilites fizzled out last week, I started looking at this model. Lightweight, built-in speakerphone, appears to be a good unit. I just can't find enough specs about it (how much RAM in MB, can it hold files, connection to PC, etc.).

This web site offers information about how to use your phone's IR port (most Nokia's and Ericcson phones have infrared ports) to access the internet.

I found it very useful.

It works well, btw!

Microsoft has Stringer phones (PocketPC + phone) on the way. Trium Mondo and one from Sager are already available in Europe. Since the perfect PDA phone is not available, seeing the Stinger phones will make me wait a little while.
