But I love how the text messages are threaded by name- makes it so much easier than scrolling thru 50 texts trying to find someone.
The browser is awesome, larger screen and touch-vibration to let u know u clicked the link (also vibrates when u text so u know u hit the letters- can be turned off if u dont like it)
I wish there was a place to store the stylus though. I end up using my fingernails b/c im afraid to lose the stylus.
The spare battery and charger are great too!
So true about the stylus...who the fuck decided to include a stylus and not have a slot to store it? WTF? Good thing you don't need it.

Seems the big downfall is apps. However, I did find out that most J2ME apps will work on it (however the touch screen and interface to the on screen keyboard often doesn't function rendering them useless) but there are a ton of J2ME apps that do work includig games and utilities like the pdf viewer (thank god). getjar.com has a lot.

That seems to be the big negative. If it had the apps that palm or blackberry has, it would be the best piece of technology I've ever seen.
