I started mobile with a bag phone and an original Palm (actually a couple pre-Palm pDA's like Casio Boss no one remembers). Been looking for the perfect converged device ever since- never found it due to keyboard issues, missing features, buggy software, and/or poor performance- thought this was going to be the one !

Key features:
1) simple phone 10 key pad- HATE qwerty or touch screen for dialing phone numbers! Want it to be a good phone 1st, PDA input can be via touch screen and/or slide out qwerty, but don't screw up my phone function with other stuff!
2) touch screen & aGPS- could do some hand notetaking, some GPS browsing, and use a stylus qwerty when needed- perfect. (can also probably add a touch interface at some time like htc-touch, LG-touch, or iPhone- just wait for someone to offer winMobile shell add-on). just make it easy to lock/unlock touch so my ear doesnt launch a thousand apps via touch screen while I am talking !
3) powerful processor and lots of built-in mem plus expansion (liked my old iMate 5, but the little TI850 200mhz not enough (but if thee retraction was due to Qualcom legal stuff , were there going to be qualcom type performance issues on this 500mhz processor ?)
4) 3g/wifi/bluetooth- can't believe the number of somewhat interesting phones missing 3g or something, this one wasn't !
