everybody has his/her personal preferences and Tadd was always a bit different than usual in all respects.
the fact of the matter is that some people prefer big displays over everything else. Personally I prefer small size. |

| Dude! Dude! Dude! I totally agree with the non earpiece issue. I'd already have had one(or two) if they would have just included it. WTF! Anyway you say you put your ear up to it anyway. Where is the speaker and are you placing your ear directly over the speaker? Where is the mic when you're doing this. Top or bottom? Can the other person hear you OK? Are the speakers in different locations as the X7501? Reason I'm asking is I kind of like that joystick... |

I bet the people at Xda-developers can come out with a cab which will enable the speaker phone to be reduce past the lowest setting to mimic an regular phone call. It can be called the handsfree fix... I am so going to grab this device it's straight power  |

I agree with you that bigger screen matters.
It's almost perfect! I say almost because I want it to have a slider qwerty instead of a detachable one. |

I use to have the O2 XDA Exec. Never bothered me taking calls, just got tired arms after a while 
Still prefer my lighter slimmer Samsung i780. |

I can understand the larger screen being more useful as I abandoned data on my 280x176 screen as too much of a novelty and not for serioius document nor HTML use.
An Express Card and and the full size screen and laptop are so much more efficient when work must be done when mobile. |

Perhaps so one can express oneself eloquently and succinctly with a complete English vocabulary? 
Grammar, syntax, complete sentences and paragraphs are lost on the illiterate text message generation. Much like hearing on the loud distorted bass frequencies generation, I would imagine.  |

Excellent Point! I would dearly love to have this device but the price stops me. I know it's big but I'm willing to carry something bigger than my Dell Axim X51v for the bigger screen and the phone.
I view Smartphones as PDA's with a phone inside and not as a phone with cool gimmicks. I would gladly pay $500 for an Advantage. I would grudgingly pay $750 for it.  I cannot pay $1,500 for it.
