I like that as well ... it's called an OQO. ... except that its not priced as a mobile phone right now. In fact, it's tagged at mid-high range notebook pricing.

I would also consider getting a UMPC, if only (1) It's cheaper ($500) (2) I had not just gotten a notebook and (3) It's battery life is more like a good phone batt life of 5hrs or more and not like a notebook's 2~3hrs. The same would apply to such a phone, when it exist.
