You can get a refurbished version of this computer that I would rather have over any $400 (or $1500) laptop PC. I've owned a dozen Dells and Thinkpads, but I've reached a point where the security and maintenance associated with Windows is more than I'm willing to invest attention in. In terms of coordinated and elegant design, I've been impressed with what I've seen from Apple.

This is the Blackberry I should have had all along. It combines the simplicity and intuitive design of the Nokia OS with RIM's push technology and a decent keypad. I've used Motorola phones, but was frustrated with their reliability and OS design. I own a MDA with the Windows Mobile 5.0 OS which has potential but there are too many design flaws to be a true convenience.
