There is potential with that device, if it would work....just lots of 
work..... ATT wireless infrastructure also needs to step up to match 
their claims.

Are the RDP apps free, or does one have to pay "taxes" to apple like 
with every turn you make on the street?
If they are free, where did you found them? Especially I may be 
interested about connecting to windows server via ssh tunnel. With Nokia 
smartphones, you have been able to do that for years.....unfortunately I 
don't have one anymore.....  I wore one out in 5 years.... and got sent 
this one to replace it.....  bad trade overall.

Another drawback with FW2.0 for me was that now I can not hear it 
ringing anymore......   Upon a call, first thing I hear, if at all, is 
the vibrating noise against the table, then perhaps a bit of ringing 
sound when concentrating to it.

As a mobile content provider, it is not too great either.....  I have 
created a method where I can provide wallpapers to non-pwned iPhone (Now 
that Safari is partially fixed in FW2), but I doubt Apple will never let 
third parties to provide ringtones. I can not expect every customer to 
know how to pwn their iPhoneys....
