As you know, AT&T Wireless is now part of Cingular Wireless (AT&T Cingular, anyone?)  and they're trying to merge plans, aparently.  Which also means we'll probably have to switch soon to Cingular.

Mom and Dad have Free2Go, a prepay plan.  Cingular has KIC, which matches the plan.  Mom will probably like the LG flip phone.

I have an origional GoPhone, with Wireless Internet.  Cingular has Take Charge, which is matches my current plan -- infact, I think it's like $4 cheaper.  Of course, it's color graphics, so I'll be burning it up faster.  Unfortunately, none of the phones have IrDA capability.  The Sony Ericsson T237 has a Serial port data cable, thankfully, for modem use.  The Siemens C61 only has USB.  The LG1300, forgetaboutit!  I'm now aiming, again, for the Nokia 6800 or 6820 (with both AT&T and Cingular support.  I'll just swap cards)

Hmm, how many of them have bluetooth? I've been fairly happy with my BT GPS device, if I could get internet on my Zodiac through BT as well, that'd be nice. :) The only complaint about GPS on my pda is that it seems to drain my batteries really fast. Maybe I need a backup GPS.

Too bad cell phones are a bit on the pricy side...

The Sony does, but then it's a blocky phone. Do I really want a brick in my pants? That's what I got a PDA for.

Problem is, very old laptop. No Bluetooth, no USB, no ability to put in 32-bit cards. WiFi is just a quirk of the card I have, somehow it works. I got a IrDA dongle though.

BTW, the cingular merger is old news.
