(My Treo just did not cut it for work e-mail alas.) That's a lot of gizmo -- 11 ounces worth. I'm not sure I'll make the switch (waiting for early reports from users), but if I do decide to consolidate, my gizmo load goes down to 4.7 ounces -- a 6.3 ounce savings.<BR/><BR/>The iPhone3G is similar in length and width to the BlackBerry, but the difference in depth (0.3 inches) is the difference between a pocket-size device and wearing a nerd holster.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165083282721602855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077094283817527571.post-15452432600866996492008-06-18T13:30:00.000-04:002008-06-18T13:30:00.000-04:00Dude, what'll you do with the ancient and venerabl...Dude, what'll you do with the ancient and venerable Motorola?<BR/><BR/>(It's a Motorola, right?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
