[TriLUG] Recommendation sought: Linux based smartphone with Java support + good wireless Internet

[Phillip Rhodes]

Hi all, I'd like to solicit some recommendations for a new phone and 
wireless carrier.  I'm a little
behind the times on keeping up with the latest in the world of mobile 
devices and phone and
what-not, so hopefully somebody can clue me in on how to find something 
suitable.

Basically, what I want is this:

1. a smartphone / pda that uses Linux as the OS
2. and has a JVM for running j2me / midp apps
3. good wireless networking support.  Eg, I want to be able to access 
the Internet
from as close to "anywhere" as possible.
4.  Relative to 1, 2 and 3 above, I want something that's as "open" as 
possible
in terms of what programs I can run on the device and what features I 
can access.
For example, I might want to write a j2me app to run on the phone, make 
an Internet
connection to a server and sync the address book on the phone with
some other address book, or something of that nature.

beyond that, a large display, semi-usable (or better) keyboard and nifty 
features like bluetooth, etc.
are pluses.

So, does such a beast exist? And if so, where is it and where can I find 
one? :-)


Thanks,


Phil
