That would complete me. I’m still waiting for them to come out with my combo B&W Gameboy and Motorola StarTac. That would complete me.

Personally I think that's over doing it, considering the variety of devices out there which do something similar. Who knows though how they'll all converge. Ultra portable tablet pcs, really high powered cell phones, kindles combined with laptops. They're all headed towards collision.

I know couple of my budies sign up with T mobile just to get the Sidekick for texting and email. This blows that option away. BTW, can you add more than one email address? This is so AWESOME!

Admittedly, I haven't tested it by sending texts to every type of cell service possible (I'm not sure I know that many people), but it worked fine on my tests to Verizon and AT&T customers. Peek instructs you to simply enter the recipient's 10 digit US phone number (no @ required) and your text will find its way. Indeed you can.

I know some email services allow you to do that now. Can you send text messages from it? I know some email services allow you to do that now.
