I dont know all your needs, but I finally found a good phone + web device + basic microsoft viewer+editor. Yes, it is an older model but very good. And the battery backup is really good.

Thats exactly what will happen with most domains - TV, Gaming, Phone etc to start off with. Now imagine for the first time you have a handheld game controller with a complete processor built-in. A good one at that. Regarding your post on iPad NOT finding a slot in the top 2 (amongst phone, laptop and tablet) - i have written a post on that - <a href="http://iptiam.com/?p=114" target="_blank">http://iptiam.com/?p=114</a> "Move all the intelligence to the iPad " – I would say, you hit the nail on the head with this one.

It is very powerful and better than any other phone out there in the US. TMO's Android broadband plan is pretty good where I live. Hey, get the Nexus One.

I shall investigate, but I doubt if my GV ring delay problem will get solved unless I move off of Sprint's service. Which means big $$ to break the contract.

I realized it almost a month back when my Nokia N91 began to suck bigtime. Now I use an unassuming Nokia-followed-by-4-digits (don't remember the model #) that's just a phone, period. And making do with my old fashioned PC. No UI problems, no magnifying glasses, no fancy phone bills for ever so sucky performance. No repeated run to the service center. Freedom regained !!!
