The screen is 640 pixels wide allowing for the 80 columns of text easily. I don't need 640 pixels. Something less (with some creative fonts) will do. Or use a higher density LCD. The keyboard, my complaint is that it probably doesn't offer more than a thumb board yet it is probably twice is big.

"That thing is a brick. Why is it that big?" Why is it that big? It's that big because it has all of that stuff that you're asking for! And not even all of it. What you're asking for would be bigger! Sounds nice. But, I wouldn't want the thumbboard or the real keys. On the Samsung i330, I like that the keys are virtual and that the Palm is easily programmable. Reason being is that I get more screen real estate by nixing the keys. See, I hardly ever want to type someone's number. I want big fat keys that have people's names on them and then I press that button. Of course, the list would be small, but there aren't that many people that I call regularly anyway and I would still be able to bring up the keypad with a click of a button. I'm also not fond of a thumbboard because I feel that it is ridiculously small and graffiti is not that hard. The rest sounds great. You crazy, crazy man!

Why is it that big? It’s that big because it has all of that stuff that you’re asking for! And not even all of it. What you’re asking for would be bigger!
