Well, most new Nokia phones have RC-MMC. Those are much smaller than CF, for a comparable price. At least 512Mb units are available for
about $50-$60.
What are luddites lurking at Slashdot for?

Just a Phone?

I wonder how come every cell-phone article about more advanced phones raises a cry for simpler phones in part of the audience -- and the corresponding cheer when a simple phone is announced?
There are plenty of simple phones already: take a Nokia 1100 for instance, less than 60 Euros in Finland for just the phone, with up to 400 hours of stand-by time in battery. That's what my mother uses, but she doesn't read Slashdot.
The key to success is in simplicity without sacrificing features. Being a geek and a programmer, I want dual core Opteron performance in my phone with the same 400 hour battery or more! The current complexity in advanced phones in most cases is just a lack of design finesse, or in some cases a lack of CPU power.
