Now i carry the iphone and moto q. im somewhat satisfied. both devices are thinner so there easy to carry compared to the tilt. the eee pc just sits there since i have the moto q9 thats does pretty much the same thing the the eee pc did. Iphone mainly for music and video. i really dont bother with edge. i will say this i really miss wm wifi router i used withthe tilt but can't do with the moto q9. motoq9 on 3g is ok.

A MID cannot do much more than a phone can nor can it do nearly as much as a UMPC. Until MIDs incorporate phone processors, I would see a low end paring of MIDs and feature phones and a high end pairing of UMPCs and smartphones (or feature phones). I still wish my OQO incorporated voice as well as EVDO data circuitry and an always-on co-processor to handle incoming calls. Then I wouldn't need to pair.

Also, isn't the iPhone a smartphone? Or at least, won't the new one fall into that category? The problem I see with phone+UMPC is that neither device, except the iPhone, satisfies the need to browse quickly. When you're watching TV, for example, who wants to wait for a UMPC to boot just to check sports scores? Even the access time for a feature phone browser is too long - I want instant on. So I think the iPhone 3G + long life netbook is my choice. (assuming I can get an iPhone on a better US network than AT&T) I’m surprised that Smartphone + MID wasn’t an option.
