      << I managed to blag an Ericsson R520 the other week.... it has
GPRS, Bluetooth, IR, and an earlier incarnation of the T68 software.
(but is much bigger and has a b&w display)...... so far I've used IR
once with the iPAQ to check it worked (I do that with all new phones I
get with IR)..... and that's about it.... I don't have a GPRS
subscription, can't justify getting one, and although I've thought about
getting a Bluetooth headset, I've never gotten around to it yet. >>

      When I bought my T39, I went in and said, it must have GPRS and
IR so I can get on the 'net with my Palm.  They had the T39 pretty
cheaply, so I bought it.  When I phoned to telephone company to ask for
GPRS details they said they don't do GPRS.  The provider I switched from
do GPRS, but I'm now locked into a 12 month contract with a GPRS phone I
can't use with my provider.  Take this as a warning from me that you
should check that your provider will do everything your phone does.  As
a bonus, I managed to play tennis in a pub with a friend using
bluetooth.
