Nokia Shows Off Phone with Printable Faceplate

jonknee writes "Nokia is prepping a new phone that one-ups all the other attempts at face plates... you can print your own! Just place one of the template pages it comes with (you can buy more) into your ink jet, and make a nifty design that isn't mass marketed at every mall this side of the Mississippi. The template is perforated so you can get a nice fit around the keys. The phone looks pretty nifty as well: camera, flashlight, FM radio and about everything else." It might be fun to rename someone's keys as a practical joke, not that I've ever done it to anyone's computer keyboard.

I want a new phone that's also a PDA but not $600

[Anonymous Coward]

Is this too much to ask for? A decent entry-level PDA can be had for around $100. If a phone's $100, then where are all the $200 PDA phone combos?

I want the Samsung SPH-i500 - but it's $600! This is crazy - who spends $600 on a phone?

It's the same way that I'd like a new $300 notebook. At that price it would be close to disposable and I wouldn't worry too much about breaking it. I don't even want a color screen - but nobody makes low spec notebooks because $800 is the lowest anyone is willing to sell them for these days (and they're full color with 2 GHz processors).
