[gentoo-user] cellphones and gentoo

[James <wireless@tampabay.rr.com>]

Hello,

Well it's time to get a new cell phone (current LG died).

Listening to some hacks, I've decided to get a wifi enabled
cell phone, or a foreign made wifi device, just to have some fun.
Alltell does not seem to support any wifi enabled cellphones.
I may have to switch cellphone providers.

I have a 'flat rate' unlimited plan with Alltell (4 counties
in florida are unlimited) for $59 mo. Alltel's voice network
is rarily congested. Their phones choices:

are depressing.

I've been thinking about T-mobile and a plan for voice and 
wireless data access to the internet. (Anyone happy with T-mobile?) 

Motorola and other cellphone vendors have bluetooth support and some 
wifi support built into the phones. Anyone got a wifi enabled cell phone 
working with Gentoo? Another wifi only portable handset?

I also noticed 'kdebluetooth'. Since my portable does not have
bluetooth built in, does any pccard vendor provide hardware
(& driver) that works with gentoo?

I did notice Alltel is selling the blackberry 7250. Anyone 
like this phone and does it work well with Gentoo?

thoughts and suggestions are most welcome.

James
