whiteytech, that's awesome!
I was wondering whether the batteries were compatible. I'm glad to know that the are! I may stop by the local "multi-brand" mobile phone store to find out whether T-Mobile's GSM is any good where I live. Have you, or anyone tried "T-Mobile Internet" (or whatever they call it)? That's supposed to be 3G (but you don't have unlimited bandwidth like w/ the Sprint/Handspring Treo 300). I'd love to have a VisorPhone that communicates at faster speeds.

Perhaps the network connection process is faster? How long does it take to get a connection on T-Mobile using the "free" ISDN number? How long does a connection take using 3G (or is there even any connection since it is packet data)? Can you override 3G by dialing out to the ISDN number via the modem?
Up in the Northeast US, Sprint has good connections near Interstate highways. I hear from people to this board that GSM gets a lot of dropped calls while travelling. I got two drops while calling Sprint customer service between Boston, MA -> Johnston, RI and back (to give a data point for this metric w/ CDMA on highways). So "why would anybody" is probably a little too general: for some people GSM will be awesome and for others CDMA, TDMA,
etc. Only choices for the Visor are GSM and CDMA.
I feel I've diverged this thread quite a bit from it's original topic.
Perhaps new readers can also remember piotrek's original question:

It was a good run while it lasted, but barely made it worth the effort after all that shipping.
