Some of Nextel's phones from Motorola have a Java core and they offer 
the developer tools up either free or really cheap (I don't remember). 

Some enterprising ham operator hacked up a program to put into them that 
took the GPS information available in the phone, and piped it back out 
to the APRS Internet servers as APRS location reports, as one example.
