I once wrote an article about how the Danger's Hiptop phone (aka T-Mobile Sidekick) was revolutionary for the deaf. Pretty sure it was the first cell phone that interfaced directly with the TTY network from the phone keypad. It was a pretty neat little device actually. Ahead of its time in many ways.
