That's the reason. I use that phone on linux and can't see/mount
anything when the memory card is removed.

Try disabling `power saving' in:

        menu -> tools -> settings -> connection -> wireless lan ->
        options -> advanced settings -> power saving

What client was on your mind? putty?

        http://s2putty.sourceforge.net/

Let me know if you know any other client able to read standard openssh
private keys.

What do you mean with `repeated alarms'? I think the built-in calender
can do such stuff..


And while we are at this subject: Please let me also know if you think
the e-mail client is usable. From what I remember, the built in e-mail
client..

        + supports STARTTLS on the default imap port (143).
        - does not save your sent-mails into your sent-box
        - does not set the reply flag on mails when you answer them
        - does not add any references-header (breaks threads)
        - does not quote text in a reply
        - does not wrap lines after 78 characters


HTH,
