If I understand correctly it also has a PC-Card slot where
you could plug in a network card or a GPRS modem like the
one in the first picture.
Something like the 720 should suit my mobile communications
/computing needs quite well because of the 80 column screen,
keypad, PC-Card slot and the ability to run SSH. Let us know
how you get on!
