hmmm...well no luck on any of the above. Perhaps I can find some 3rd party tool to do it? Since the thing does fit in my pocket and has great battery life my goal is to use the thing as my phone too. I'm planning on taking it apart and squeezing a 3g data/voice modem in it so perhaps it will come with such a tool.
