Well my Saga is always with me and I like that it has a physical keyboard (and without the screen-flip-lag of my old HTC 6800), but the screen is small and hard to read outside and battery life with continuous use isn't great. I still occasionally use my 6800 as the screen is slightly larger and battery life is surprisingly decent sans wireless. Keeping them "synchronized" is a simple matter of swapping the microSD card. I would love to have a much larger device....say with around a 9-10" display... mainly for viewing formatted documents, but also because as I get tired it's hard for my eyes to focus on small text. Those same exhausted eyes also strain with the backlight, and I would love to read in sunlight too, so a nice reflective screen would be ideal.
