Hey folks. I've been on a hunt for sometime for a phone/UMPC hybrid that can do the following things and I can't find it.

1) Work as an unlocked sim card dependent cell phone.
2) Have enough processing power to run a linux kernal or windows environment to have something to play around in.
3) Have a small enough screen and footprint that I can use it in bed to read ebooks like a kindle.
4) Have decent battery life and is super portable.

One thing I have looked into so far is the Sony UX UMPC models but they can't be used as cell phones.

Any advice? Thanks in advance for your responses!

Damn that is sexy. Thanks for the links. It says the estimated debut price is 500 euros. Isn't that like $1000?
