It's funny - after slamming this product right off I decided it was worth taking a second look, and on reflection I must say it does have many appealing features, no doubt even better for those who already have Apple products.

In particular I now would not mind having an integrated Palm-type calendar/address book as I have become pretty disenchanted with Palm build quality.

However, I would still have 3 qualms:

(1) No phone touchpad. We all know how these screens break and fail - then you are without a working phone. I have never had a keyboard failure on any of my phones - Motorola, Samsung, Oki, etc. Not to mention that touch dialing will be difficult if not impossible.

(2) Cingular.

(3) Price.

The latter 2 are sure to be addressed at some point.
