I switched to Firefox, but I found that there is a serious script error when using 32bit IE, but if you use 64bit IE, it works perfectly. Try the 64bit IE, otherwise, you have to use something like Firefox.

Completely agreed. You buy a form factor and style but the basic innards can work with any OS currently available. I'd install OS X, Maemo, Symbian and WinMo.
Why is it that you practice revisionist history whenever it comes to Apple and their products? Please, stop. Cell phones have had music applications for many years, and the intention to develop such tools has been there even longer. The iPhone is not the first device to be capable of making music. Apple is not dragging us into the 21st Century, Apple is following in the footsteps of many predecessors who were the real ground breakers. Jeez.

Thanks for the clarification... then I will retract my call for e-ink within the hardware (see below, not above).
I love it. I have been praying for a cheap version of this sort of technology for a while. I hope they decide to mass market the product at a reasonable cost, and make it ubiquitous rather than keep it high priced and exclusive. It's much needed in every electronic device. If the backlight off mode could be real e-ink technology or just as legible / good for the eyes, who could ever complain? It's a win. I can't wait.
I love the idea and wholeheartedly support the endeavor. There are many phones I like but dislike the OS and vice versa. If I could boot into an OS of choice, then I'd be fine with many available phones. This is exactly what needs to happen... the hardware is separated from the software.
I agree with everything dinoPilot said. I also want what the iPhone isn't. Until a capacitive screen comes with a stylus, don't give me a capacitive screen. I don't want to consume multimedia, I want to create it. I don't want a product from a company that segregates consumers into intelligent and too dumb to get it.. The whole freaking point of options are so people can CHOOSE and choose something else, because it has to be something else if it's a choice.

If you don't like WinMo, you perhaps should just not have reviewed the phone.
Yeah, Monica is not the only account posing as a real person... I ran into a few more recently. It's such a damn shame people do this crap.

Good on you for catching this fake.

All this spam... man, just get a useful job, really.
That was the best use of that overplayedout line. Well played.
I'm with the Toshiba > Asus crowd. I have a 4 year old Toshiba that works, albeit the LCD has lines on it... and I have a 10 month old Asus which started exhibiting poor keyboard / button behavior fairly soon after I got it. I was too lazy to bother to return it because it was past 1 month, but I will much more likely give Toshiba another chance before I go to Asus. On the other hand, I will likely go to Lenovo or Sager or Clevo instead.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
