It has good portability and enough keys for light typing like IM's. It would be a great device for while I'm sitting the car. Internal WWAN would've been nice. I'm in productivity mode for choosing my next device though, so I need it for work which requires a full keyboard. The U1010 would make a nice companion device. It'd be interesting choice between that and an Everun, HTC Advantage, iPod Touch/iPhone, OQO2, FlipStart, and all the MID's coming out. Lot's of choices.

No, you're not intended to sit it on a desk and 10-finger type. It's designed to maximize usability without resorting to having to set it down to use the keyboard. FN+Key for the arrows and tabs sucks, but keytweak handily solves that. Now I FN+key for the rarely used brackets instead, and I have a period and tab key to either side of my spacebar. I'll forgive the thickness because I'm a huge fan of the clamshell form factor (My other handheld is a Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000) The big hinge area makes it very comfortable to hold steady in tablet mode - I've absolutely no fear of it slipping and falling. Plus the extended battery gives me a solid 5hr battery life. It is definitely "to each his own", but I want something that I can use on the bus or plane, without giving up my keyboard.
