    Hi all,

    Just wondering if anyone has come accross a phone or PDA which would meet these type of requirements:

    - Capable of connecting to 3G network (operator not important)
    - Symbian / Linux OS
    - Must have Camera (Min 1.3 mpxl)

    Anyone seen anything that fits requirements?

    Cheers.

    Nokia 6630, 6680, N70 etc

    Your subject line contains "Location Aware"? There are Symbian utils out there that will detect which 3G/GSM cell the phone is attached so, is that what you mean by location aware?

    Cheers for that, I've also seen the Nokia N91 and Sony Ericsson P990i (aparently both will be available soon).

    Re the location aware, I believe they intend to use a product that will run on Symbian OS to test Location Based Services.

    I think this sort of thing:

    but still awaiting a more detailed req. spec.

    Will post more as soon as I know more...
