Fave All-in-One PDA for Worldwide Connectivity?

dr-vjk asks: "I just bought a new *unlocked* HP iPaq h6315 PocketPC. This phone/PDA supports quad-band GSM, Bluetooth and Wifi. This is a huge improvement over my old travel kit (Sony P900, h4315 iPaq, and Apple iBook). I needed an unlocked unit as the standard h6315's are locked to the T-Mobile network which charges over a buck a minute to roam outside the U.S. I have tested it in Europe and Africa with pre-paid local SIM cards and it works great. It works out of the box with GSM networks around the world for voice and GPRS for IP Data. I loaded SJPhone in order to access my Vonage account over WiFI (Skype doesn't work on this unit yet). It was great talking as long as I wanted with friends back in the U.S. with no concern for long distance charges. They could also call my Vonage number in the U.S. and my PDA would ring in Europe." "I would love to hear if any Slashdot readers have their own all-in-one device they would recommend for world travelers. At a minimum, I think such a device would need GSM, GPRS, Bluetooth and Wifi support. As a physician I need Windows Mobile for the O.S. today but would be willing to look at other solutions (especially open source)."

VoIP

[spencerogden]

Its seems that for many Voice over IP is the final key to being able to have their office anywhere. With VPN and VoIP there aren't many restrictions on where you can have your 'office'.

And yes this a good thing. There is no such thing as being 'to easy to reach' when you need to be in touch. On the other hand, if people get angry when you cut your communications (everything has an off button), that's when you have a problem. Remember, its not the technologies fault, its people who expect you to be on the job 24/7.
