sorry that 's a private joke with Karel, meaning his vision of the connection seems to be totally correct.
it doesn't mean we will for sure see a gsm module inside the earpiece. but i d love it!

This is actually the kind of GSM phone I'm hoping someone will develop. Just an earpiece with decent voice dialing and something like the Internet Tablet for those awkward moments when you just have to do something more with your phone.
I've just learned that some genius/clueless idiot (underline appropriate) managed to shoehorn an MP3 player with a contacts list in a BT earpiece, so doable at least it should be.

well, i could admit that gsm capabilities are not the easter egg... otherwise projects would not be what they are .... why go cellular if the IT is already cellular?
so what are we left with? maybe you re right.
comment on the earpiece with gsm inborne = ''out of question, way too dangerous''. apparently the dream will not come true. but something will come out.

Oh wait-- that's for movie making.
1. Need for future revenue

3. It's also cool

Yeah, unfortunately WiMax isn't anywhere near ubiquitous and I'm going to be quite annoyed if it's only going to be for select American cities.

O.K. lets take that track...how about this...it may not be what many would call ideal, but it would include the 770, the n800, and what ever may come in the future. I think a small seperate bluetooth (2.0) device that performs the cellular/Wimax/3g connection may be what were putting together here. Nokia could then have a device that is setup for the type of systems in use in different countres, say europe (GSM/UMTS), USA (CDMA/GSM/Wimax), and japan (imode..i think).
Like I said..may not be "ideal" because we're back to carring two devices, but if it was small and pocketable...I wouldn't mind.
I know what you all are thinking - "ya, thats a phone jackass!"
but what i'm thinking of is a small screenless device that only has the radio and authentication (sim card or EID#) nesscary for a paticular system.
