Seriously, if you copy the Windows GUI like that ... a copy is never as good as the original. So since the Windows 3.1 GUI is dated enough already, they're in trouble if that's the final.

I don't think Qtopia is necessarily ugly, but it definitely has a rather dated look. The 770 is a lot nicer looking in my opinion, as is the Symbian based Nokia 9500 or 9300.
Besides, the trend is away from big clamshells when it comes to phones; it's more phone-formfactor machines with higher resolution screens and miniature thumbboards a la Blueberry that is the rage at the moment.

Really close to ideal would be if the phone was implanted behind my ear (Heinlein's "Puppet Masters" anyone?).
And truly ideal? Why, the 770 implanted in my arm, of course, and both devices running on bio-electricity from the body (don't laugh! serious people are looking into that stuff!).

Talk about painful upgrade path... "Doc, pry this 770 out of my arm, willya? I want to shove a 780 in there." 
Personally I'd frankly not want a surgically implanted communicator. I want to be able to leave the phone on a desk and walk away if I don't want to be bothered.

Adapters and first-aid kits are available for UMPC-insertion.

Quite a few people are too enslaved by their phones. Heck, at work for instance during the coffee break, lots of people cling to their cellphones and some even bounce out of the couch to run to the phone if it starts ringing. Sheesh. 
Let them call back for crissakes, if it's important they'll call again!

Hmmm... The HandyPC... It is Handy for the thief to steal...
Though I own the Nokia 770, N70, and Motorola V360, and used to own the Palm Treo 600, I prefer to keep my Data Tool and Phone seperate.
