Hi Andy,

There are 2 options,

Motorola V3 Razr Unlocked GSM Cell Phone
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1208678&Sku=L420-7190&SRCCODE=PRICEGRABBER&CMP=OTC-PRICEGRABBER

The Motorola is a Quadband world phone with bluetooth and GPRS.

OR

Smart phone:

Do you plan to check email and get updates for other things like currency conversion etc? Then you’d require a Smartphone. The GPS accessory for smartphones are sold separately.

Palm Treo 650 Smartphone

Nicholas,

Data is unlimited on the $64.99 Global Email Monthly Access Plan.

The $20 per MB you are talking about the Pay Per Use Plan.

Users have a choice to select between the two.

You are not forced to select the Pay Per Use Plan.

I think the easiest solution is to charge the Blackberry off a set of AA batteries.

The 2 battery cellphone charger Turbo Charge Unit does this. This charger connects to the cellphone power port and charges it off its onboard AA batteries.

You can replace the AA batteries from the charger with NiMH ones. The charger has multiple apdaters available for various Mp3 players, the iPhone etc.

The company claims up to 3 complete charges with the 2 AA Batteries. I guess this would depend on the mAH rating of the NiMH batteries. High capacity NiMH batteries would make more charges possible.

Price is $24.95.
