On-screen touch keyboards are VERY uncomfortable for anything else than URL typing. I am waiting for the Vilin N5 or the 3G version of the UMID M2. As soon as either of those are out, I am a customer. I need a thumb keyboard. On-screen touch keyboards are VERY uncomfortable for anything else than URL typing.

Is software included or can XP be used (via BluTooth) to make voice calls? Or, is there a commercially available program to do this? ANYTHING BUT iPHONE!

THanks!

As a matter of a fact, I only know of 1 guy who has installed an 64GB SSD, and they are saying they had to go into some weird mode in order for the drive to be used and that mode is slow. So $550 doesn't seem all that bad. If you break down the prices you get :

$599 + $50 32GB SSD
$599 + $150 3g + $50 32GB SSD
$599 + $150 3g + $550 128GB SSD
