[CoLoCo] [off topic] open or linux friendly smart phone

[Brandan E. Lloyd]

I have to second the need to look at the suffix.  I have some friends that
purchased the Treo with the w suffix (Windows) and they hate it.  You must
get the p suffixed phone or any Treo that is 650 or earlier.  I think 680 or
700 is when they started to install windows mobile.

Yeah, without the contract you will have to pay more, but that tends to be
the way it goes.  They work great.
