I want a $300 netbook computer with phone hardware that I can use with a bluetooth headset and get rid of my phone. Machine washable. Running Ubuntu.

This is so obvious, why doesn't it exist?
Wait, are people making google laptops including phone hardware?

It's data-only, and the advertised data plans are semi-low for expected usage, especially if you want to be able to VOIP with it. They're intended as a stop-gap for when you're between standard networks. (i.e. commuting)

But don't think I haven't considered MiFi, the netbook, a bluetooth headset and Skype.

Note: Active connection battery life on these is only about 4-5 hours usage... so, not up to phone usage yet.
