Where your host laments the problem with his SUV (bad alternator) and comment spammers, chats about the NPR program regarding political speech and the public domain, talks a bit about his microphone setup, plays some blues music, and recalls all the terrific Cajun food he had during his only trip to New Orleans.

I’m looking for recommendations for a good phone for use in mobile weblogging, if you have any suggestions go ahead and mail me with your recommendations. I am inherently a cheapskate, so cheaper suggestions will be considered more strongly than more expensive $500 and up phones, so bear that in mind. The ideal candidate will be:

• cheap
• decent camera, VGA resolution or up, good low light sensitivity a plus
• Bluetooth
• bonuses: voice recorder and video clip capability
• did I mention cheap would be good?
