Ehh... it's cheaper than a laptop, and pocket-sized -- all I need for 99% of what I need. And it'll get even better this Summer.
I've been out of corporate life for almost 7 years now, so don't miss that b.s. part of it...
It's more than a phone... it's a PDA + iPod + phone + mini-laptop. It's the future, today. (K, maybe that last line was lame lolz) .. but it works!
