Thank you for all of you providing helpful suggestions and ideas. Especially information about openmoko which I am very interested in:) Maybe I'd try with some Nokia products. Will need a weekend to browse the product categories and try a few of them in shopping center but thanks a lot for all input! I haven't used modern mobile phone for some time and is obviously outdated. 在 2007-08-07二的 15:49 +0100，G T Smith写道：

Dear everyone on the list
I am going to purchase a new mobile phone: having not purchased a new mobile phone for some 6 years I am shocked in both number of choices on the market and over-wheelming number of features to choose from. I guess probably people on the list know better which in-expensive durable model that can cope well with SuSE software, e.g. Evolution (for contact persons and alarm is okay).
Internet: It's better if the mobile phone can offer Internet connectivity, to allow me read / send email on the mobile phone using IMAP. No need to run a browser on it. Also it's better if the phone can provide my notebook wireless Internet connection through infrared or bluetooth or whatever Linux supports. No fancy function like camera and radio needed. If mp3 is supported then better also support OGG.
Multimedia: No complex feature like play one of 1000 games and run several kinds of virtual machine. No need wide built-in full-color screen for watching movie and reading book.

Thanks and sorry for being OT.
You have two initial constraints - what the carrier provides and what the carrier uses to deliver service....
You seem to be based in China, SE Asia is in many ways technically much more developed in this area than europe and the U.S. with a much richer range of options. (I believe the openmoku phone is being put in production in China, maybe you could talk yourself into becoming a beta tester.. :-) )
There are a number of things in the japanese/korean marketplace which are not available in the west which might work for you. Most of the western phone manufacturers struggle in this marketplace, it might be worth talking to others in the region to get a better perspective. A western based option is quite likely to be inappropriate...
