While here I am, about to trade my month or two old N800 in for a N810.... I've kept my phone longer much longer than that (for over a year now, wow!)

I'd love to have a phone like the IT. The sad fact is that for me, there is not a phone that can do what my IT can do, or even close, so for now and the foreseable future, it is the IT all the way. I've tried UMPCs that can squeeze into your pocket and smartphones, but the IT fits my personal needs best.

(Here's a real nightmare scenario: if Sprint comes out with a WiMAX IT like I hear is planned, I might end up getting *another* Internet Tablet. How's that for different product lifecycles? )
