I've been thinking about this stuff a lot recently... you'll see my ideas in about 5 years... on TV... or in Whitepapers. -jX once the 802.16e (or whatever the trans-tower standard is) specificaton for WiMax comes out, and companis start making chipsets, etc for it, one could make some evil hybrid Gumstix(www.gumstix.com)+VoIP+Linux phone-like device… of course this would be absolutely craptastic featurewise, it would be useful if all you wanted to to was talk.

I'm wondering if Arizona will be roaming in some areas next month. It shouldn't be, but it seems like when we are out of town and need to use the phones, it's pay extra for roaming. Of course it's cheaper paying roaming than paying for hotel phones. Lesser of two evils, I guess. They nail us for roaming every time we go to Canada, which is a half dozen or so times a year.

It isn't even turned on most of the time -- only when I'm out and expecting a call. I agree on the whole hands-free-only-while-driving thing. I can't even talk to someone in the car and concentrate on driving at the same time, much less handle a handset. Our Verizon plan is two phones, 500 minutes and regularly runs $95. Of course, we never have any overages. I use the cell phone as little as possible. It isn’t even turned on most of the time — only when I’m out and expecting a call.
