I can't do it, even for basic computing stuff like browsing the web and typing up semi long emails. The Windows Mobile Standard devices screens are just way to tiny to replace anything I would use for business

I was quite concerned that the screen of my Touch Pro would be too small to use effectively, but it isn't at all, just more convenient for making the device smaller.

Yeah the actual screen dimensions on my Blackjack are nice but the resolution is ridiculous. 320x240 is just way to small to for doing a lot of things. Then you take into account that you're losing at least 20-40px for the top and bottom bars for your start menu and icons and you're left with even less space.

I can't wait until they start releasing the standard devices with screen resolutions of 640x480 or higher

I have been without my own notebook for close to 10 months [sold my VAIO UMPC and am still waiting for the notebook to replace it with]. I've been relying solely on my TyTN2 when at home or when abroad.

So far so good

I do email, notes, docs/spreadsheet, im, surfing, music, gaming all on my device. Oh and I call/sms too!

I guess the only thing I can't or don't do on my device is internet banking.
