I've always been an advocate of the two box solution...... used to use a
Psion Series 5 with an Ericsson GS18 (rebranded Orbitel 905 with a modem
when the Ericsson/ Orbitel merger took place) connected via a  serial
cable..... means you can have something big and lumpy like the Psion 
(mmmmmm... Psion proper Keyboard vs Nokia 9xxx) but you can also have a
seperate phone when you don't need the two together (although the GS18 
was hardly what you'd call svelte!) and no IR port lining up :)

Nowadays though, Vodafone have started doing multi sim cards. (I know 
these have been available in Holland and probably other places for a 
while)..... I think they're the only people who are doing them in the UK
at the moment....... A SIM to go in your communicator/ GPRS sleeve on 
iPAQ/ PC card phone in laptop, a SIM to go in your v66/8310/T68 
something else small and pretty (subjective!) both SIMs can make 
outbound calls, one will receive inbound calls, (you can change the 
nominated receiving device) and you only need one subscription (plus a 
supplement per extra SIM card) ..... just checked the website and you 
can have up to 10 SIMs.... :o

I'm just a sad person.... :)
