Such a business traveler, if he/she is downloading large files and large volumes of email may well be better served by getting a lap top computer rather than any PDA. No PDA is as robust and stable as a PC. I once downloaded 1200 messages on my laptop and no crashes, no freeing of databases etc. I am not slamming the Braillenote, believe me! I simply think that if you will be downloading huge amounts of email and if you require a device that can download large music files, no PDA will accomplish these tasks as efficiently as a lap top. And, lap tops are cheaper anyway! If, on the other hand, you understand that a PDA is a wonderful device when used as it was intended, then you won't have some of the problems that are being encountered by some on this list. I simply don't feel that the Braillenote was ever intended to handle the kind of email traffic that some are attempting to download. You wouldn't put a lawn mower engine in your pick up truck and expect the same kind of performance as one would get from a standard v6 engine.

Is the PK going to resolve these issues? This should be top priority. For example, look at the business travelers to whom the PK will be a godsend. What if they have many E-mails to download while they are away? Thanks.
