Hi Dan, sorry for the late response. I swear I had posted back to this thread awhile ago, but just noticed that the response is missing, so I must have forgotten to press post or something.

Anyway, thanks very much for your offer. I think I did a bad thing by bumping this old thread for a different reason. My girlfriend (actually wife now - told you it was an old thread ) had to get a smart phone for a new job she was on where she needed GPS and on the go email, so we picked her up a Samsung Fascinate, which I used for a couple of days on my own business trip. My conclusion after using it for a short time was that the hardware was pretty cool, and some of the apps were really useful...but all in all it was kind of a frustrating experience coming from an N800 that seems to be a lot more flexible in what you can do, and the design philosophy seems to be very different.

Unfortunately I have to get a smartphone for work, and for cost reasons it pretty much has to be on Verizon. That really only leaves Blackberry and Android devices at the moment as far as I know. Android was frustrating, but it was still a hundred times better than what I've seen of Blackberry devices, so I think I'm stuck going with an Android device unless Nokia announces a Meego device t hat will launch in January on Verizon (which I think the chances of are fairly slim).

Anyway, thanks again, and sorry for the confusion of the post. Really should have just started a new thread.
