I think i would expect it to have both a loudspeaker and a microphone
so it could be used without a wired or bluetooth headset, but i might
accept if the reason was compelling enough.

I _THINK_ my dream phone would be highly symmetrical and have a high
resolution screen + a sliding keyboard, or possible side hinged so it
can open revealing the keyboard.

I am not sure because i have not tried to use one and i am not sure
how cumbersome it will be to open it or slide out the keyboard when
needed. I do have a treo 650 at the moment and i use the keyboard
rather often, but sometimes i dont and thats when i want to have a
bigger screen. Both physically bigger and with a higher resolution.

I would expect to read the fine print.

3. Other...

Perhaps it means you can connect it to a mobile for dialing or internet
browsing or you can use it to make VoIP calls.

I think it's very unclear and you need to contact the seller to have
them specify exactly what it means.

Under ... something else ..., include the ability of the PDA to CONTROL
a mobile phone, e.g. via bluetooth.
