I supect the HD2 design maxed out with a 4.5 " screen hopefully in its succesor will prove to be the most optimal.

That's what Bluetooth headsets are for. Bonus if they have a mic adapter for the headphone jack. Saves you the weight, the bizarre sight of holding a huge slab to your face, and a cheekprint on the screen you have to clean off later.

yep, the phone part is mostly for data everywhere. But it also made it possible to get google approval on a 1.6 device.

a a2dp headphone set may be a good combo.

I don't trust such blank statements. "By years end" means nothing

I know you were. I remember reading up on some Samsung Android device that couldn;t be upgrade past 1.6. The phone just came out and most of the users were expecting a 2.1 upgrade

Future is behind devices like N900 that simply fits in your pocket with computer capabilities. It just not there yet with its speed and power but very,very close. In less than few years there will be more powerful than N900. And all the tablet things is just another gimmick for people who has money and don't know what do with it so they are looking for something to amuse themselves. :rolleyes:

Years end is going to be a touch choice, dell streak with android 2.2 and hardware accelerated flash, or the first meego phone from nokia. choices choices as to which company will get my money.
