I did not realize that the Gemini is so recent!  That one is a nice  
combination smartphone+keyboard. I like it.

But I can't think of such spending right now.

Which model do you have?  Did you order yours from the UK, or did you find  
a domestic seller in your USA?

Their top model with the extensive network features looks to be designed  
for the frequent glob-trotter.  Probably overkill for a domestic like me.


 D> If someone wants to reach me by voice they have my landline.

Same here.  My Blackberry is activated as a phone primarily because I only  
use it to access internet via the data services, but no one knows the  
phone number.

I only "open" my landline to calls from 7p-9p only. Ringer is off the rest  
of the time. I just grew tired of picking up the phone for the bogus spam  
calls and surveys.
