[maemo-users] N810 with GSM radio

[From: Jonathan Greene]

I'm definitely in the minority in looking to have multiple things rather
than a single device which would do it all.  there are routers you can buy
(MiFi - http://jkontherun.com/2008/12/09/novatel-mifi-c/) though I want the
radio in the unit.  Depending on the second device for connectivity just
drains two batteries
