Nice post, less is more... But I must admit my life would be a little harder without the mobile internet access of my smartphone. A simple one, with just e-mail, rss & google maps. It's like having a giant newspaper in a tiny pocket, I'm using it at anytime, and especially when I have time to lose : in a post office lane, waiting for a date that is late... Less than 15 meg of data / month, 10€ on my career. It has been pretty simple and efficient, for more than a year, until my geek side convinced me to upgrade my smartphone to windows mobile 6...

But I must admit my life would be a little harder without the mobile internet access of my smartphone. A simple one, with just e-mail, rss & google maps.

It’s like having a giant newspaper in a tiny pocket, I’m using it at anytime, and especially when I have time to lose : in a post office lane, waiting for a date that is late…

Less than 15 meg of data / month, 10€ on my career.

It has been pretty simple and efficient, for more than a year, until my geek side convinced me to upgrade my smartphone to windows mobile 6… (c://format + no more sync)

Those damn Westerners with their first-world problems… Btw. as your reporter for the emerging markets, I can tell you that the monochrome screen is actually made of a technology similar to e-ink. Which makes it even geekier :-) (and better for battery-life, I guess) Of course… it’s always the certain minorities that make the most noise. Those damn Westerners with their first-world problems…

Sure, one reason is the huge emerging markets, but anyway here in the interwebs the tendency is to focus solely on the high-end.

But using a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/11/hands-on-with-the-nokia-n95/" rel="nofollow">tool</a> with a 45 min. battery-life does seem kind of ridiculous. Monochrome all the way, baby! :-) Actually, I have a lot of respect for Scoble’s business-model. But using a tool with a 45 min. battery-life does seem kind of ridiculous.

That is to say make & receive phone calls. That’s a top post Vince: people tend to forget the real purpose of a phone indeed. That is to say make & receive phone calls.
