nothing fancy just cheap and fast.

I just bought a $100 web browser. It has a color screen and
fits in my pocket.
It can make XGA pictures, videos and it phones!
It is cheap, fast *and* fancy.
It's called Nokia.

Not to ask for egg in my beer, but can you connect it to a fullsize
keyboard and monitor?

I have 10 fullsize keyboards and monitors here.
Its charm is the ascii keyboard in the palm of a hand, and
128 by 160 color display.

Anyway it has bluetooth. Maybe I can use my Gbyte Ghz machine
as a dumb monitor.



Has anyone a Forth for it?

Bernd Paysan remarked that the platform was probably closed.

I see stories of someone reflashing a phone, similar to reflashing
a BIOS. It looks like one could make a modifiied flash, incorporating
a Forth.

At least one can make applications. There is a contest in Germany
closing the 10th of januari, with a sizable first prize of 15.000
Euro.

I'm in the process of downloading a 270 Mbyte development environment
for it. Supposedly it is C++. Wouldn't that allow to port GForth?
Unfortunately it runs on Windows XP, and my XP machine is not powerful
and has little disk space, but I'll see.
