Yeah, the DUO looks more interesting to me than the Tilt.

I don't want a windows phone. I consider WinMo to be a liability, not an advantage. So, the DUO has all of the upsides of the Tilt, without the downsides. Except that I don't know how well the DUO does with tethering.


If there's ever a NIT with 3G GSM or EVDO, and with a sliding tilt screen, I'll probably use that single device.

Without that, then any good solid phone, with a keyboard for TXTing, and solid tethering ability, is all I need. I don't need it to have PDA functionality, because I'll use my NIT for that. In fact, if my Samsung SCH-R410 had bluetooth-dun and EVDO, that'd be all I needed. (well, that, and an option through MetroPCS to not have any port filtering/proxies)
