Bulky Pocket Syndrome

I now have a Motorola V3 as my ~~cell~~mobile phone. The thinness of the device was its biggest selling factor - my wife is happier since I now suffer less from bulky pocket syndrome. There's only my keys and palm pilot problem to solve now :-)

On the cool tech side, the V3 doesn't have some proprietry gumpf phone connector - it uses mini-USB for both battery charging and connectivity. Under Linux it appears as a USB modem - something to explore to see if its useful in the coming weeks. There's also bluetooth, but shadowfax (my laptop) doesn't, so that'll have to wait.
