That's the list of features that really make me look at this thing. It
looks like it does it all.

I see. And I assume that the data is stored on Danger's servers, etc.

Hmmm. Yeah, I carry a BlackBerry as my pager (text), so I was hoping I
could cancel the service and just use the SideKick.

Now I've found the Nokia 9290 on LetsTalk.com. It looks like a winner,
using symbian as the OS and has a full-sized keyboard. Pretty neat! Maybe
I'll get it. Have to figure out what they have in terms of unlimited
internet for it, though. I might even be able to sync it with the
PowerBook...
