hi ya about sora
I agree.. I think it represents some sort of wireless connection between the real world and "The World", regardless of where it exists.
It looks a lot like Tsukasa's cell phone from //Unison (the part we can see of it).
Is it ever noted how users actually access the internet in the world during the times of .hack? In their time, it may be the case that everyone accesses through wireless broadband communication. Going on, you could say that the cell phones are a link between the game "The World" and the real world.
Even further, you could start destroying the boundary between the game and the real world, using wireless communication as a key to say that the game resides in a plane that can only be reached through frequency waves in the air.
This might explain how patients who are in comas are able to exist within the real world and the game at the same time.
Does that make any sense?
Basically, you don't have to be connected to the 'net by wire. Think of it as having a cell phone in your head. And seeing as how the characters in the game are controlled by VR terminals, and given the theories on how the terminals are picking up your brain waves and what not, one could say that having this wireless connection to the 'net is just another way of controlling your character in the game.
