<img src="images/news-tungstenw.jpg" align="right">I'm a die-hard believer that your pdaPhone should be usable without an earbud. Don't get me wrong... I use an earbud often... but I also want to be able to answer a ringing phone without having to stick that thing in my ear. The Tungsten W does not allow you to use it as a normal phone, out of the box. But, they have planned a fliptop case that solves this problem. The case has an ear-piece and microphone built in so that when it's on the phone, you can use it like a fliptop phone. I don't have a report yet on how well this works, but Geek.com snapped a picture of this new case at the CTIA Wireless 2003 show in New Orleans.
