As a road warrior, tethering is definately a plus for me. So instead of a data card, I use my old TP2 and keep it on the Bus Adv Talk 200 with a data plan and it ends up less than a data card with more freedom and sharing with the hot spot. I think the Arrive will catch up, but I definately am digging the smoothness and MULTIPLE Exchange accounts which I have been waiting for for a long time. I think it's creating a major negative atmosphere for us to be flaming each other for our opinions of these devices. I think different devices work better for different people with different needs. Can't we all just respect each other's opinion and leave it at that? I think if somebody is unaware of certain capabilities, it is nice to let them know differently and that would be the only reason to respond with other than a completely supportive response. Agreed? I am a mobile device industry professional and have used the entire line leading up to the Arrive, beginning with the PPC6600 and tethered HP iPaq's before that and I can't criticize anybody's favored mobile device as I have seen all different reasons for different form-factors and os'es over the years. My youngest daughter, now a junior in high school, traded her Palm for an iPaq when she was in 4th grade. My point is that there are just as many phone personalities as there are people personalities and to each his (or her) own. Just my 2 cents, folks.
