	I don't think what I use is what you're looking for but I
thought you might like to know about a Linux device. Also, there is no
monthly charge, so once you buy the device that's it.

	I use a handheld device and I have not yet seen this. I'm
writing this from one of the mechanical rooms in Beaumont Hospital.
It's ideal for hospital work because you're supposed to shut your
phono off inside. FWIW I use separate phones & tablet, one for calls &
one to write, look up, surf, etc.

	I use a Nokia N800 together with the apps from maemo.org.
There is a ssh server & client available, in addition to Claws email
client.
