Do any of those have a cellphone built in? ;-)

Maybe YOURS is- mine is a PDA, MP3 player, eBook reader, GPS, e-mail/web
browser, etc. It replaces a basket of devices so I have less to schlep
around. (I'm posting this on it's NNTP client right now.) The one thing I
rarely use it for it the camera, but only because HTC builds embarrassingly
low-quality cameras into their phones, otherwise I'd use it more often than
I do now.

If only they would- I wouldn't have to lug a razor on trips with me. (And
I actually have used my HTC Wizard as a flashlight in a pinch- the camera
flash LED stays on in a low brightness mode when the camera app is open and
the flash is selected!)
