Ya I have been looking at these too. Verizon uses one that can bend up

but the one you found is nice because it goes sideways.

Good point about the shoulder button...

Still nice find ! The rotating usb thing is really good idea.
Did you check if they work nicely in linux ?

I'm happy with my old E220; it's perfect for velcroing to the lid biggrin.gif

Those USB thingies are dumb. Just use your phone, that way nothing will stick out, youŽll have a free USB port and more battery life.

i know its possible to use a phone as a wireless modem, but i was planning on using a pandora as a skype phone , so i don't need another thing bouncing around my pockets just to make calls on.

Usb modems tend to be getting more generic by the day,but each cell phone company has their own software..this could mean a pandora mobile internet client,maybe?

This could also work:http://i.expansys.com/i/l/l161860.jpg
the um20 seems good aswell,i'll look into that pandoradu9.png

you will need a provider, but if there was anyway to get a 3g chip on the motherboard (that you could turn off to save battery life) id sure as hell do it
