I've compiled Gnokii v0.6.0 for the Zaurus running the pdaxrom. Only the command line tools at present. The ~2.5 MB package is gnokii_0.60_arm.ipk and a sample configuration file gnokiirc.gz. Uncompress the configuration file, copy it to ~/.gnokiirc and edit it for your phone type.
To use it via infrared, start irda on the Zaurus using
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/irda start' and start the modem on your phone. On the
Nokia 3650 it's in 'Connect/Modem'. Then the command line tool 'gnokii'
should work fine.
Bluetooth support is compiled in but I can't test it. You'll need to install the bluetooth libraries on your Zaurus.

The successor to the Nokia 9210 communicator is on its way. Nokia has details on the 9500 communictor.
I was a heavy user of the 9210 until it fell apart. Now I use a PDA and
a phone instead of a combined device like the communicator. In my view
a combined device is a big win. I used the PDA features of the phone
more than I use a seperate PDA because it is always there.
The new 9500 looks almost exactly like the 9210. It has some new
features however. It is a tri-band phone, has GPRS capability,
bluetooth and USB support. Interestingly it also has 'WLAN' support
which suggest wireless capability. The 9210 had approximately 3.5MB of
memory available to applications. The 9500 has 90MB! With 20MB
available for midlets.
With all these great features the chances of me affording this phone are slim...

writes about Prevanlence, a persistant storage technique, and
continuation-based web frameworks. It will be interesting to see what
happens if Python gets first class multi-shot continuation support.
Something that was previously considered a rather arcane feature of
Scheme would then be mainstream.
