You can get a lot of HPC devices for $100-150, which support various cellular data access cards. I have used a HP Jornada 720 for quite a while with bluetooth and wifi cards. I have used both a T610 and a Nokia 6620 for cellular internet access using a bluetooth card. You can also use a number of GPRS/EDGE data cards with it. HPCs make excellent platforms for in the field data entry. They have very long battery life, instant on-off, wide screen and qwerty keyboards. -Daniel Marsh > yes! thank you! did they make such a thing for newer palms? > > On Sat, 8 Jul 2006 22:13:48 -0700, "Charles Wheeler" > <[email protected]> said: > >> Well, a Handspring Visor, equipped with a Visorphone and sim card, >> will connect and give you a browser.
