Tell it brother! I've longed, ached even, to have my old Toshiba e830 be a cellphone. The screen is just so gorgeous and the dual slots and USB enable so much versatility, along with infrared so I can still use it with my Stowaway folding keyboard. But without phone functions I just can't make myself use it day in, day out. I'm a one-device guy. Need it all in one place, if I'm to have it with me all the time. Putting part of my business life in one PDA and part in another just doesn't make a lot of sense, nor does keeping tabs on two battery charge levels. The CF card GSM solutions offered by several companies never did surmount the incoming call wakeup problem, so they were really only glorified walkie talkies with hefty price tags.
I'll suffer with the tiny screen of my Elfin a while longer, hating it, hating the lack of infrared which translates to only minimal PIM and phone use, hating the absolutely ridiculously slow browsing with IE or Netfront... until finally there's a large screened phone running WM6.5. Then it'll be upgrade time. Meanwhile my Asus netbook is seeing a lot of use where my PPC used to be just fine for most chores.
