OMG! You are *so* right! Why, if only I'd known that before placing my hard earned cash down on the tabletop! There is a reason why I went from someone who was cynical about the device, to someone who wanted one. 'Windows mobile'. Third party apps are coming, I can wait. I don't tend to use anything other than the default ringtones and the phone just works. Actually it's a pleasure to use - so I'm more than happy to take a hit in functionality. It's all about the tradeoff, and it's one I'm happy to make.
