Since its not a cellular device, then cellular carriers wont be carrying it (or maybe not), but I would think if it were paired as a deal, say, with Cingular and a phone like the N6230, this would be a real nice comgo for road use. Sure its not a replacement, but it sure beats lugging around something 4 pounds and unpocketable.

I dont get why this thing slides up though - does this sleeve serve a purpose?

Usually devices like this, if its too big to fit in my pocket, I never see the need for them since I could just as usually use a laptop for the same purpose...but this one has a nice price point, so I can see this being useful for a lot of people.

Seriously though, 4.1" screen is too small. My 4700 already has a 4" screen and it is really to small to surf at native 640x480 without pumping up the font size.

Is'nt this just an up to date version of the webpads we we got a few years back like the Siemens Simpad SL4 etc.

I got one of those from ebay for £170 and its a 8" screen with 800x600 !

If it has a really decent Web browser (read: not a PIE-class one, not even a NetFront), then, I want it too

Wouldn't a PPC with WiFi suit you just fine for this task?

Please tell us you're joking !!!
No, I'm not joking, why? What's wrong with that? :?
I have full appreciation for the geekiness of it.
It was the personal relationship part of it that I was reacting to (read: my wife wouldn't tolerate that for long).

One important question I really want to know is will it be able to display multilingual in all of them, even shipping in different country? especially webpage/RSS! If not... it's useless for me....
