(although technically you could use a cheap mobile phone and just   toss some software on there to intercept calls and SMS messages,   bridge it to say a linux box via bluetooth, and create a simple   signalling system for it,       

Maybe when I had lots of spare time, that would have been a nice   project. :-)     

  There are many examples for each phone operating system that supports this functionality, so writing it shouldnt be that hard.  And with control via bluetooth you can just toss it in a drawer with power and call it a day :)  This really shouldnt take that long to do, someone with free compilers, a free web browser and using free google should be able to get all that they need to create and deploy such a solution.  All the phones have hooks for intercepting sms, calls, and placing the same - so you can just build a simple interface, and if the phone has wifi you can stream the audio that way, or you can use bluetooth to achieve the same results.  Bluetooth can be more tricky if the phone doesnt support the PAN profile though, but its possible.   

What would you charge to do it on my Treo 650 for use with T-Mobile?
