Aye, so I expected, but it's not a PDA or smartphone I want with the Readius. Just the simple ability to dial any number (and keep a store of phone contacts) or receive a phone call is sufficient for me. Can this do that? No ability to remind me of birthdays or receive MMS messages, or play MP3s, or pass the time with Solitaire, or browse the web, is required. Just make and receive phone calls (with perhaps a simple contacts database...I'm even okay not being able to edit the contacts database on the phone itself - that it has to be done by sync'ing).

Cheers,
Marc
