[mdlug] It happened...

[Michael S. Mikowski]

Having used a Treo 650 for 2 years, I can say this:  It was a pretty 
good browser, a great PDA, and a mediocre phone.  This phone was 
stolen, and I've replaced it with a Razr (work supplied).  Which is a 
very nice phone, bad PDA, and lousy browser (if you want to call it 
that).

The bottom line is smart phones are either great as a phone or great as 
a Web Client.  I have yet to see both (although the iPhone could be the 
exception, although its lack of flash support /severely/ limits its use 
in many cases).

Maybe you want a nice, slim-line phone that is a great phone, and a 
separate internet/GPS gadget like this: http://www.nokiausa.com/n810

As a GPS device along, it seems worth it.  And being Linux based, it is 
nice and hackable, I expect :)

Cheers,

Mike

ps. hold me back, I am /this/ close to an impulse buy...
