Email And Cell Phone In One From RIM

The best part about it is that the email still uses the same packet switched network that all other Blackberrys use. This means the email connection is 'always on' and the battery life should be good. Also interesting is that it runs Java 2 as its operating system."

    Well, it's also Virtual Machine Standard, which could be interpreted as OS standard in this context.

    Sun should create better names to distinguish between Java as a language and Java as a platform.

    Or for those of you without a nokia 6210

    That's funny because I can write a message with one or two more presses and that's all!
