Thanks to you and Cat for helping me make up my mind NOT to get one!

Good decision. B-)

I was wondering whether to combine a phone with having email facilities
and now see that I'd be getting the worst of all worlds!

Reading of short text only emails is OK on a phone, entering anything
througha phones keypad, even with T9, is a right royal PITA.

I have a iPaq PDA, that has a small but reasonable screen and can blue
tooth to my mobile for data if I'm not in a WiFi zone. Entry of stuff on
that is better with the handwriting or letter recognition. Still slow
compared to a keyboard though. Windows Mobile, so has Word, Excel IE and
Outlook.

Donno what the "Blackberry" type things are like for entry with the tiny
qwerty key pad.
