Hello, I live in Florida, so we have quite a lot of cell phone companies to choose from. I get to order a new phone and new service. Most importantly, I'm looking for a cell phone that exchanges data with a gentoo laptop, easily (kmobiletools) or some other kde gui based app.
Then I'd like the option for wireless internet connectivity (flat rate). or the ability to use the ppp+cell phone for access thru my firewalled static IP connection. Any recommendations? I do like the usb port on a motorola razr, but, I not sure mot-cell phones are friendly with linux/gentoo....... One of my co-workers (windoz user) just got a razr and it get's reception where my krufty-LG does not, both using Alltel. I like alltel and have an unlimited access plan in a small geographic area (basically 4 counties in Florida) so Alltel and a ???.cellphone would be keen. But, I can switch to a new cell phone company, if something really works good with Gentoo(KDE) as we are shuffling cell phones around the company this weekend...... Verizon does have a suposedly 300+ kbps wireless net access plan in Florida, but, I'm not sure if you can get a flat rate price on that. Paying metered feeds for wireless access via a cell phone, is not an option (we're a small company). Googling does not produce anything to get excited about, so I thought I'd seek advise (or learn which phones to avoid) from this gentoo+user list. thoughts?
