I was set to get this when it was first announced or the Velocity querty - but after having tried the concept version of Netfront 3.5 and Opera 9.5 I dont think that screen size will work at all well for me. Comparing this to the Samsung Omnia with its 3.2in screen (my current favorite) it doesnt stack up well. Another issue is the onboard memory, with the choice of 8 or 16GB on the Samsung it frees up my memory slot for those GPS apps that are now coming out only on microSD cards. As tomtom has abandoned the PPC market and the better options (Garmin, Oncourse/iGo) are only available preinstalled on a card the Samsung has come at the best time for me. The convenience of the always available keyboard is outweighed by the bigger screen and memory of the Samsung.

Plus there is HP's poor support, will this device receive an upgrade when Internet Explorer Mobile 6 is released?
