So I get it on Cingular's 30 day trial, and use it for a couple of wks..and it is definitely a great tool and useful for my needs..especially for using "real" internet access when away from the ofc. However, I finally realized that for the actual time I needed the extra features of the 8525-it just didn't justify having to carry (or lug) such a "beast" of a device. I much prefer the little W810i and what I need it for 90% of the time in my shirt or pants pocket. So I returned the 8525..bought a N800 and when I need the "extra" feature of using "real" internet..I just get online if I'm in a wireless environment..or tether to my cell if not. The N800 is limited in it's PIM, but I find using my W810i for calendar..remind me of tasks..and contacts is perfectly fine..and since it is with me all the time as opposed to the N800, I don't think I'd use a PIM function on the N800 anyway. Anybody else with similar experience? I think the N800 does what it does well and in my opinion a cellphone-even midrange priced ones-manage contacts and calendar functions in a satisfactory way.
I have exactly the same experience. That's why I ll get the n95 when it s out because I ll get a small phone 3.5G + 5 Mpx cam with autofocus, the PIM. and HOPEFULLY the n800 and the n95 share the same charger... or I ll have to buy a heavy multicharger (not even sure it ll work).

the other solution for you would have been to have two sim cards for the same number (possible here in Finland, elsewhere I don't know) : one in your small phone one in your Tytn. But still have to update PIMs in both
