SIP = Will inevitably fail
Hardware keyboard = probaly will work until you croak, even on you 1000th ROM flash.

I prefer "damn near wont fail" to "probably will fail in 7 years". I buy UMPC/PPC/phones for the long term, (approacing a decade), not a 2yr intermediary term. I had service through Unicel until they got bought out by VZW here, and didn't have a contract since 2002. Yes, over 7 years of service w/ the same provider, and the only reason I left was because I knew VZW did not support TDMA devices, and that's what I had at the time. My first GSM device was a Moto V197.
