[Perry -- I have no connection to Nokia whatsoever and am thrilled with
the phone in question, but the message below sounds like an
advertisement so please reject from the list if inappropriate.]

[Moderator's note: this is off topic, but there were a couple of "what
is that phone" messages to the list so clearly enough readers want to
know where to get a phone that runs real ssl and ssh. No followups,
please -- the list has been off topic enough lately already. --Perry]

Nokia E61i, an update of the E61:

    http://europe.nokia.com/A4344018
    http://www.nokiausa.com/phones/E61i

It's not available directly from service providers in the states who
only sell the E62, which is a crippled E61. It has wifi, Bluetooth,
takes additional microSD storage, exposes its drive (and SD card) as a
standard USB hard drive, has a decent music player and built-in zooming
web browser, runs Acrobat reader and Opera, can sync with Google
calendar with a third party program, runs putty as an ssh client,
supports viewing Office documents and has all the other features you'd
expect from a business phone (e.g. timed profiles and phone ACLs --
instead of turning off or muting your phone at night, you can, for
instance, specify that only certain people can call you.)
