Yep, that's pretty much the problem with those "smart" phones: when you
check carefully, they're pretty basic. Having a screen even smaller than the
first Palm Pilot, I can't imagine what you can really do, besides browsing
information. I can't imagine writing a full email on such a small thing. I
already think that the 2000 screen is the minimum you can use to really be
effective in your handwriting, so...
