You can get a REAL cell phone for less and you don't have to worry about getting your face prints on your PDA screen.

But, as I have found out with my current phone, it is really annoying that the phone can't pick up all of the phone numbers and names that I have in Entourage (and on my pda). I'd rather have face prints on the pda's screen than have to type in phone numbers on tiny alphanumeric keys... which brings up the question: Do the nicer phones with IR ports (as opposed to my cheap model) support transfer of phone numbers from a pda or laptop?

But you couldn't get a cel phone that will allow you check your email and browse the web via a Visor. Even if you did find a $50 phone that could do that, you'd still have to buy an interface cable, which is another $20 or $30.

Slap a screen protector on there, and no face prints!
