I'm using a Linux based cellphone, the OpenMoko Freerunner:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Main_Page
it would be nice to change to OS from Linux to FreeBSD in this;

but even with Linux it works very well together with my FreeBSD laptop:
- you can SSH to the cellphone
- you can connect with vncviewer to the cellphone and have its screen on
  your laptop
- you can use the cellphone as a GPS router to Internet
- you can use the GPSD in the cellphone and having the maps with
  tangoGPS in your laptop
- ...

all this (and more) is described here:

and I gave a talk a year ago in the Havana (Cuba) local Linux User
Group about how they work together (it's in Spanish but maybe from the
pictures you will get an idea):
