It's a smart *phone*. I browse the web and listen to music at the same time with the iPod Touch, which runs the same software. That's good enough for me. The day I need to multitask with a phone is probably when I smash the freekin' thing and turn off the service. > My point would be that it works brilliantly for me.

I'm still bunging with the Treo650 and it works adequately for what I want a telephone for, but then I really don't use a telephone all that much. The iPod Touch actually saves me money on my phone bill because I don't use the damn phone for net connection ... But ...
