And as I said, having to carry one more thing around with me would not be a good idea.

I'm going to combine the phone and pda when I get my new wireless phone in a few weeks. It will also allow me to get all my email without a laptop. Hooray.<BR/><BR/>I've never heard of alpha smarts though, so I'll have to look it up.
