I initially asked:
>>So heres's my question: which GSM Handset would you currently recommend to
>>use in cunjunction with a Pilot (Palm or III) and a laptop for small surfs,
>>data communications, faxes, hot syncs, etc.?

In article <35f97cd7.0@d2o11.telia.com>,
"Hasse Abrahamsson" <hasse@bjorkmans.se> answers:
>I definitely think you should go with the Ericsson SH888. It is absolutely
>super to connect via IR from my PIII. No cords, no modems. It works great!

Hi Hasse! Thanks for the reply and advice. What exactly can you do with
both devices talking to eachother via Ir? I understand the usual data stuff
can be done, i.e. HotSync, sending faxes, surfing the Web (with the
appropriate apps), but can you dial from the contact phonebook application?
If yes, how simple is it, i.e. how do you select a number (home, office,
mobile, etc.)? How does the Pilot/SH88 combination handle number formats
(+CC vs 00...)? Is it faster than retyping the number on the 888 keypad?
What about SMSs?

Also, is Ir really better than a cord: is it reliable? Do you use it only
with the too devices on a table? How about syncing or sending a fax from
the back of a taxi? Maybe it would be better to have a cord in this
situation. Just looking for experience sharing here!

I also asked:
>>Side note: does anyone know when the SH888 and 8810 will be available in
>>France or anywhere else close?

And Hasse replied:
>Do you think Sweden is close... We have got plenty of SH888 but 8810 is hard
>to find. I sold my first 8810 yesterday in my shop but I have no idea when
>next delivery is :-(

Interesting! At what price do you sell both, just for my information
(haven't got a trip planned to Sweden within the next month yet)?

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Best Regards,

Eric
