it really sounds like you've made your mind up already. All in all I guess it really depends on what you plan to use it for. I myself do construction, I cant not carry a netbook around with me in the field wile working, it just isn't an option. So when I need to pull up something from a web page, a PDF of the site plans, send or get an email a phone like this rocks. I can keep a netbook or labtop in the office trailer but that means I have to walk across the site to the trailer just to look something up, or if I'm waiting on an E-mail I have to sit their for it to show up. But not with this phone, I keep doing what I need to be doing in the field an hvae everything I need on my hip. Would I rather have a full blow labtop beside me everywhere I go in the field, yeah, it would be nice, just not posable.

So it sounds like you need to decide what role your phone will fill for you, is all you need a cell phone? Then you could get away with useing just about anything your provider has, do you need email, message an a ton of other cool items on a touch screen format with a slide out keyboard at your fingertips at all times? only you can answer that.... but dont miss out an one of the best windows mobile phones on the market, I love this thing to death, The things you can do with it are just endless... from emailing to messageing to music an watching movies to playing old NES an Sage roms, anything you can think of wanting to do, you can google an probley find it.
