[Cialug] OT: phone deals

[David Champion]

was: Re: [Cialug] Tonight's meeting

FYI, Dell has a new mobile phone section in their online store, they 
have the Motorola Droid for $119 when you sign up with a plan, and the 
Nokia N900 Maemo phone on pre-order for $479 after a $50 mail-in rebate.

Just go to dell.com and search for "droid" or "n900".
