Thanks, Dr T. Boris, you've shown me I need to think more about what I need most, a netbook to replace the Fujitsu, or an ebook reader+. What would I really expect to use a small mobile device for? I have a pretty dumb phone, and don't really want a smarter one. With the PE, I would expect to do a lot of that stuff with the PE instead, without a phone data plan. That is, if I can store and update calendar offline, for example, and sync when I am at a hotspot. I will have to think about what I want to read. I assume it will accommodate headphones?

I need to see if I can get the Fujitsu repaired - it's a tad smaller and a pound lighter than the EE, and it's a Windows computer running Vista.

I got excited and wanted to order right away, but I should go back and read what everyone is (or was) doing with their PE). Actually, I'm interested in what people are still doing with the Pocket Edges 2 or 3 months later - maybe I'll start a thread on that.
