I can't wait for you all to see the facts on the new device.

If you have access to a HotSpot, you use the Mylo. If not, just fall back to your phone.Totally not true for me - I use Bluetooth dial up networking to surf the web on the move all the time (eg. on the way into the office, settling arguments in the pub etc.)
--snip--
Not really sure why the Mylo lacks Bluetooth - perhaps because it's aimed at teenagers who will have access to WiFi at home and at school/college?
(Personally, I much prefer the 770 over Bluetooth to using my phone, but that's also connected to the lack of integrated offline bookmarks.)
However, if you want a depressing tidbit, think about the Mylo. It's got a 320x240 display, a slide-out keyboard, and a slot for a memory card, along with WiFi. So does the T-Mobile MDA/Cingular 8125 and the PPC-6700, and they have Bluetooth, cellular, *and* media playback capability, along with Exchange integration! Drop the WiFi, and the Treo 680 has a 320x320 display!
The Mylo is effectively a crippled smartphone. In its efforts to enter the same space as the 770, it ended up taking on the form of a smartphone with none of the bells and whistles. I somewhat understand where they were going with this, but by separating the Mylo from any overlapping devices, they missed the boat on a unique opportunity for convergence.

A device without Bluetooth is a non starter for me. WiFi hotspots are plentiful, but they're all run by different ISPs requiring upfront accounts and you can bet when you need to connect to the net, you're going to be near a hotspot for which you don't have an account.
Until the advent of city-wide free WiFi (I'm in the UK), when I'm not at home it's actually WiFi that is irrelevant and not Bluetooth.
I didn't even have a mobile phone, a data plan, or a working knowledge of BT before I got the 770... and my phone still does more work as a modem than as a voice device :-)
