Redfly
I asked for and got a Celio Redfly for my Sprint Touch. I know that many people don't think much of them, but with the price drop it seemed like a reasonable way to get a keyboard and bigger screen for my phone, which is my primary mobile device.
After playing with it a bit, I'm a bit disappointed in the keyboard. It is very small and harder to touch-type on than my old Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard from ThinkOutside. The screen on the Redfly is very nice, especially when reading email, but I was surprised at how many applications don't scale properly to it (or work at all). The Opera 9.x browser beta is one big disappointment. It doesn't work at all on the Redfly. I guess I'll be back to the lousy old PIE when I'm connected to the device.
I'm going to spend a lot more time getting to know the Redfly before I render a final verdict. I do really like the size of it and it appears sturdy and very well built. It looks great, too.
The kids got a Wii and they and I have been playing a ton of Wii Sports and Lego Star Wars. Fun stuff!
