lotusmonk, yes, I'm referring to being able to write using the stylus, which is then converted to digital text. AFAIK, no e-ink readers have handwriting recognition, which is why I was so interested! I used to have a Palm, and absolutely loved the handwriting feature. but pdas disappeared and smartphones mostly went the thumb keyboard route, which I don't like. Also I really wanted something like a Palm but with a bigger screen - but not too big so that I could easily carry it in my handbag! Also quick on/off like my Palm and *not* like a typical laptop, and with a low-glare screen. I'm not sure what kind of screen the Palms used, but it wasn't as glarey as typical LCD. Mine was m125 monochrome, so I don't know how the colour screens compare. If it had handwriting recognition, that Samsung looks pretty close to my perfect device! Sadly, no one else seems to want the combination of features that I do. Ah well...

PS I did finally find a phone with good handwriting recognition - nokia 5800.
