Better than a BlackBerry + iPhone
 
I came across this phone yesterday and knew I had to own one.

Credit Card Sized Mobile Phone - Simvalley PICO RX-80 | Geeky Gadgets

YouTube - Simvalley RX-80 Pico

The best part? They're VERY cheap, $25 / €18. That's if you can get hold of one. I picked one up on Ebay.co.uk for £35 incl. delivery (girlfriend wasn't best pleased though).

Great for a backup phone, emergency/car phone, etc, or to use as a personal mobile while carrying your work BB.

How is this better than a BlackBerry or iPhone? Ok, it's possibly not, but this level of coolness deserves some attention. ;-)

You can change the battery though, unlike the iPhone.. Battery life is 100 hrs standby and 1 hr talk time, so again, probably better than the iPhone. ;-)

You were supposed to say "I've seen the new iPhone - it's the best ever" :) :) :)

I actually like the new HTC Android phone, the Hero. I not married to Apple, any hot, new device could win me over with the right features.

I can't warm up to Android at all - I'm trying...
And the latest Windows Mobile devices all suffer from the same problem. They use Windows Mobile. The 3G Dash is ergonomically nice - keys are little small - but WM 6.1 is still WM. And it doesn't have UMA (sigh).

As a reminder to all iPhone users - please upgrade to 3.0.1 so you can get the update to prevent the SMS problem. I upgraded mine as soon as I got home last night.

Took care of mine. Now if only they could enable the MMS :-(

And fix that non replaceable battery ;)
