I was suprised when I went looking at cell phones that Bluetooth models are somewhat vaporphones...Sprint has announced an Ericsson model coming in a few months, but otherwise don't have it. Seems like BT has been really sloooowwww to make much headway, yet all the PDA manufacturers seem to want BT-enabled units over wifi untis. All in all, confusing. Can't decide if it's too early to consider BT or too late! Just know that it would be nice to use the cell phone as a modem for either the laptop or PDA as the case warrants, without using a lot of adapters, cabling, etc. Probably can make this happen without BT, but BT *seems* like an easier (cleaner) solution.
