The new Chocolate still shows off fingerprints just as well as the old ones do. Still, pretty impressive features, so you never know. I still have to figure out whether to go for a smartphone or go stripped-down. Ed AC:

Heck, my DVD player has an iPod dock, so I don't need anything more than iTunes, QuickTime Pro, and some freeware conversion software to watch just about anything.... Ed AC:

I'm hopeful there will be plenty of wireless choices out there by then--I'm ditching the landline altogether and going all wireless. My landline has gone from $24/month to $32/month in 2 1/2 years despite having the same features now as I did when I started. Bell must have upgraded their towers up here in North York. I have a couple extra bars showing here at my desk, up from the 1 or 2 usually showing. Ed AC:
