You can actually get a laptop for the price of this phone (fine it will probably be an Acer, but you COULD get one for the price). And that is the saddest part.

And, if I was considering it, I'd be researching it so the closed architecture might knock me out of it so that would put us down to 4 phones. Mine would probably be a Treo so I could terminal serve into my computers and so that I could use exchange. Then I'd realize that Noah hasn't gotten a phone yet and the first phone should always be a cheap and easily replaceable phone since they are prone to theft, damage and loss. That would put us down to three iPhones. I think the iPhone would serve Cathy well. I think Sarah would want it for the coolness factor since she is a high school girl. Tommy would want it for the larger Internet viewing (of course, this could be done with other phones). But ultimately, I think it would probably serve Cathy, Tommy and Sarah's email, mobile Internet, scheluding and phone needs very well (and with style!). Well.. there is the coolness factor.

What is it about this phone (other than a drag and drop screen?" that would make you want the whole family to have it? It doesn't do anything that other phones on the market already do (except lock you into iTunes for your music) , and you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for them.
