Well, surely, but if it's not dangling in the first place...

I still think that a phone that can only be used when plugged into my organizer is a total waste of time. I guess that's why you can buy both type of products.
Sure. I definitely wouldn't say it's for everybody, but I'd definitely have a use for it (or any other reliable method of wireless access for that matter).

Now as soon as HandSpring comes out with a stand alone, small, full featured phone that fully integrates with a Visor when it is plugged in, I will be opening my wallet.
IIRC, Kensington was working on a sleeve similar to the SoundsGood's Energy Clip except with a small LCD and keypad for basic functionality when not in the Visor. This was mentioned at Fall Comdex last year, though, so I wouldn't expect to see them until probably around the same time this year (if at all).

To me, the stand alone capability is at least as important as the integration capability.
The data functionality along with the phone integration would make stand alone capability a nonissue for me.

Just curious where are you?
It's on the side of all of my posts. But if you mean more specifically, Gulf Coast, ~60 miles south-southwest of New Orleans.

Can't argue with this one - unless you don't always carry a Visor.
Except that I always carry a Visor. Actually, I carry my Visor more than my phone.

Yesterday I was using my Edge, but today I am using my M505. In either case I still have a cel phone that I can use to receive calls and connect to the Internet (Love the Mobile Internet Kit).
Actually, a cell phone that I could connect serially (or IR for that matter) would be just as useful as the VisorPhone probably. Biggest hurdle is that demand for wireless data doesn't make it economically feasible here yet (the switches support the capability, but turning up the software is beaucoup bucks).

I hope GSM service comes to your area soon.
Me too. I keep trying to convince the cellular guys to convert their switches. Those things aren't cheap, though.
