Making all this more interesting, of course, are all the predictions that Android will be the dominate mobile phone OS in a few years. This means there will be millions of more Linux users on the planet!
Yea!
Says google :s
Personally I prefer Nokia due to free licensing for commercial products using QT. But then, I'm more than likely a minority. I have no predictions, except that soon this little device we all carry around will do more and more crazy things like be able to program our household appliances etc. Act as a TV/DVD/Console game remote. Change our Air-Con temps. Start our cars (maybe not that one, would be painful loosing a phone, and then loosing a car as a result). Make phone calls, no wait it does that already. OK I'm out of ideas.

NAME
phones - remote host phone number database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/phones
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/phones contains the system-wide private phone numbers for the tip(1) program. /etc/phones is normally unreadable, and so may
contain privileged information. The format of /etc/phones is a series of lines of the form:
<system-name>[ ]*<phone-number>.
The system name is one of those defined in the remote(4) file and the phone number is constructed from [0123456789-=*%]. The `=' and `*'
characters are indicators to the auto call units to pause and wait for a second dial tone (when going through an exchange). The `=' is
required by the DF02-AC and the `*' is required by the BIZCOMP 1030.
Comment lines are lines containing a `#' sign in the first column of the line.
Only one phone number per line is permitted. However, if more than one line in the file contains the same system name tip(1) will attempt
to dial each one in turn, until it establishes a connection.
