Thanks for clarifying (Whewww.. I feel better now Smilie )

For me, I don't have "religion" about phones and computers. I easily use the Internet from my (old but trusty) Nokia E61 and I can call and talk to friends using Skype at my desk.

I read news, check server status, read email, use GoogleMaps and set GPS waypoints, downloading new maps from the Internet. I sometimes reply to forum messages, especially admin messages, using my mobile, I search for prices when shopping using my mobile (recently a golf bag from Ping), and much more.

For me, mobile phone GPRS (in the future 3G) is almost as important as a desktop computer or notebook. When in my favorite riverside restaurant eating I use their free wireless LAN instead of using my GPRS minutes to save money :-)

Soon I will install PuTTY on my mobile so I can ssh into the server and tweak something when on the road...... in other words, for my Internet mobile access is not a luxury, it is critical :-)

NAME
xgnokii - graphical interface of the gnokii telephone toolkit SYNOPSIS
xgnokii DESCRIPTION
xgnokii is a fancy graphical interface for libgnokii. It uses the settings in the [global] section of the configuration file of gnokii(1). You can assume that your phone is supported, however there are rare cases that you will get very limited functionality with xgnokii. xgnokii can save contacts in vCard format (thanks to Pavel Machek <pavel at ucw dot cz>) if you add .vcard or .gcrd extension (case sensi- tive) to the file name in the export contacts dialog. gnokii is a multiple systems tool suite and (eventually) modem/fax driver for the mobile phones. gnokii at the beginning was designed to support Nokia phones. At the moment it supports most of the Nokia mobiles and also supports other phones that understand AT commands. DIAGNOSTICS
Various error messages are printed to STDERR when xdebug = on is set in gnokii config file BUGS
This man page is too short. See more details in gnokii man page. AUTHOR
