Whoa, how come we haven't heard about this before?
The SIM card holder on this CF card got me thinking, let's make the SIM card another general-purpose flash format. I want a super small PDA where I can put in a 1GB SIM card (like, yesterday)!

Pardon? GSM is indeed slow - 9.6kbs isn't it? But GPRS is as fast as your provider provides and you will pay for (200kbs odd isn't it?). Why are you saying GPRS is slow?

I'm content with my 3870/t68 setup for now - I never understood the appeal of something like this. Can someone explain it to me?
Will this thing receive calls even if your PDA is off? Or at least power it up? And what is the effect on battery life? I'd love to see a review sometime soon.

Any of you notice the PDA that they are using in the pictures (not on PDAorDIE)? Looks like Audiovox may actually be planning to sell their own version of Toshiba's 4" screened marvel.
Now, if only Toshiba and/or Audiovox were smart enough to put a battery in it worth a crap.
2100mah or DIE!!!!!!

Looks cool, but now instead of carrying around my cell phone I'd have to carry around a handsfree set and plug it in whenever I want to take or make a call? Bleh...
