Now, if someone would actual make a cell phone that was a REAL PHONE (i.e., not a camera, PDA, web browser, ad. nauseum -- just a telephone!) and you did not need a microscope to read the caller id information, I would be VERY happy!!Well, I don't know about the microscope, but I really like my Nokia 5190. (There's also the 5180, for European use.) It's not quite just a telephone; it has a clock, a minimal phone book, but that's about it. Not even a calendar - the clock has no date, just the time. And, it's large enough I don't feel I need a pair of tweezers to hold it. With the larger-capacity battery, I get (my idea of) decent battery life out of it, something like four days of standby with maybe fifteen minutes of use scattered over them. To bring it back to security, it probably is substantially more secure than most phones, too, since it doesn't support a lot of the things that holes occur in (web browsing and java come to mind).
WOW! Hey, THANKS Mouse!! I will definitely have to take at look at that phone. And, I could not agree more with your point about security. Now, if I can only get T-Mobile to support it...
