Tell me what i am missing. The internet... my company enterprise system is Netsuite which resides completely on the internet. And email. I was carrying two devices, a phone and a Blackberry. Plus my company pays for it.... Plus GPS and all sorts of other crap.

Call me old fashioned but for $40/month i have a free samsung phone with camera and text capabilities. Easy to use and the phone is free. I have a bottom-of-the-line Samsung that is great. We recently added one Windows-based "Smart phone" -- and I switched to having IT be the one with the modem (for using my laptop on the road). What a PITA. The samsung, you just plug it into the laptop and go with a plain dial-up networking connection. With the Windows phone, you have plug it into the USB, activate the modem (which requires digging through the Windows menu), unplug the USB, plug it back. Just stupid. I guess you could blame it on the Windows phone not having a suitable client application, but it is still a major PITA.
