cause of VoIP? most of these people don't use this as a phone it becomes a secondary email device. Atleast thats what I used it for. The Treo smokes this in every way except for the keyboard .. this is hands down the best keyboard in the market.

Yep. Tell them that though. They're afraid of an easy-to-use mobile device where someone can just do VoIP off of it when they're at home or at the office. Hence, people might wise up and get the smaller plans.

The SK3 is nice, but I'm still jonesing for an E61. Level, if you're watching, how did that importer deliver for you?

the E61 is nice .. i really might get one .. considering I just snagged myself a decent digicam (point and shoot) .. if the E61 had a 2MP camera I wouldve been sold.

Here's a more in-depth review:

Besides VOIP concerns, WiFi wouldn't work because the SK battery drains too fast as it is. If you had WiFi, it would probably last only 8 hours.

Yep.
