Slacker, isn't the Thin QCP-860 and its cousin the web-access enabled phone? No mention of that in the review, or is it just that, as engineer pointed out a few days ago, there is no service yet on which to test its web access capabilties? Despite the Spring news out today on its Spring Web service. My assumption is that since the service isnt actually being offered that the reviewer chose to ignore it (or simply didnt know about it). The reviewer also didnt mention that you can buy external batteries which are swappable. Just a side note....I occasionally drop in on the cell-phone message boards looking for complaints and general trends. The thinphone hasnt been extensively talked about but just about every comment was extremely positive. The Startac was about half and half and the Nokia 6185 had many compliments on the design but many complaints about RF performance. Slacker
