Nintendo won't even include DVD functionality in it's consoles, so I doubt it would dabble in the cell phone business. It's not uncommon for strange stores to stock video game systems. Here in the U.S., a company called Ritz Camera started selling PSP systems because they were selling Memory Stick Duos for digital cameras. When the PSP first launched, these memory sticks were hard to find, and many online shoppers purchased from this camera company. Once they saw a demand for the PSP, they decided to stock a video game system, which didn't fit into the type of product they deal in. So it's not uncommon for a cell phone company to see a profit, or sales potential in a portable platform, and decide to carry it.

No Nintendo won't make a DS phone. However there are homebrews where you can make calls on your DS maybe thats where you got your idea from.

This idea would be too unconventional to warrant the production of a peripheral to do as exactly as you described. I don't really think there would be a market for it either (well at least in North America). The ability to make phone calls using your DS is a cool thought but if it operates on wireless it's not usuable in most places, unlike cellulars.

DSfantatic5 - I thought there is a wii dvd model in existance (japan only) they just can't get to making it because of the back demand the wii already has. Also the reason they didn't initially want to make a DVD/Wii is because the regular DVD players are already so cheap.

They won't. Remember what happened to the N-Gage?

Nintendo certainy has the capability of producing a successful handheld/phone, but they would never do it and I wouldn't want them to anyway.
