I'm not saying that's trivial (different address books, different file formats, clocks, ..., etc),

For instance, we still have the issue that you can't receive a phone call if the dialer application isn't running. Though this is being worked on by quite a few people, me included. The point is, by not having your SIM in, all your SMSs are stacked up, so for the few minutes you're playing with MeeGo, you don't have to worry about missing any.

DE should be an interesting experience for those inclined towards that"

I assume once he feels confident to use it as a daily phone then the rest of us who are brave enough to follow suit can also use it as a daily phone.

Assuming we can make and receive calls/sms and emails along with browsing the web, all be it w/o flash, there is no reason not to give it a try if you are prepared to dual boot?

As with the CSSU recently I assume the best policy is wait for the May release and then let the brave soles use it and then decide ourselves if we want to dual-boot based on other users experiences.
