Default Mobile phones with faxes

Guys ..I have always owned the nokia communicator phones due to there ability to send and recieve faxes while I am mobile on the road.My current 9300 communicator is looking worse for wear and I am going to need a new phone with a fax inbuilt.
Nokias new communicator the E90 has all the bells and whistles but nokia have decided to remove the fax facility. Nokia is going down hill fast IMO.

Are there any other new phones with fax capability?

Any chance you'd carry around a laptop in the wagon?

Get a 3G card and sign-up for an online fax to email service.

You lost me as to why you would need a fax capability on a phone in this day and age.

Laptop / 3g
Mbox Service
Etc

me too... I would get sick of carrying the paper around in my pocket and an extension lead to plug the printer in when a fax came through?

I have used a laptop to recieve faxes in the past.It is innefficient.Faxes sent to me are recieved as I drive so I dont need to stop. Purchase orders are sent and I know what is going on. Doesnt cost me a cent. I do have email on the phone and this is utilised by some customers as well. I need both capabilties. I must be contactable by any means available.

Setup a mobile office in the car with mounted laptop or even a tablet pc, with a 3G dongle or card. For the cost of purchasing the E90, you can purchase a laptop and a few months 3G Vodafone subscription.

Plus you can jump on the net and post on here

If you have e-mail on the phone already, then just look in to a fax->e-mail service.
Basically, a fax will get sent to you via a certain number. This will then be e-mailed to you on your mobile phone. Same thing, different technology.

Mbox converts faxs to PDF and is emailed to you, you can upload docs to the website and it also faxes out
