Was Apple's choice to rid its notebooks of PC Card slots a bad one?

Apple's choice

I?d probably be much happier with a Treo 700w or the Smartphone-based, non-touchscreen, Motorola Q.

But what really makes the MDA suck as a phone is the dialing application. In Portrait mode the dialing keypad takes up maybe 1/3 of the screen. Did I mention that the screen is really tiny? My large fingers have a hard time dialing if I?m not fully concentrated on the task. If you are a ?Drunk Dialer? this might be the perfect phone for you?

The phone app also suffers from not being keyboard-aware. Punch in 666 and it?ll bring up ?Mom? (I love that ) but type in DAD and you?ll get nowhere.

And I really frickin? hate that it takes MiniSD instead of regular SD. There?s just no good reason for that.

Just so that this isn?t a total *****-fest? T-Mobile?s coverage in South Florida is the best and in my book their customer service reps rank right up there with Fidelity ? a pleasure to deal with at all times. The MDA?s built-in WiFi is way faster than the add-in card from my old Pocket PC. For that matter, EDGE is faster too. My old Pocket PC really sucked. Pocket IE is a pretty decent browser. Mail works great.

And I love the wired stereo handsfree. My last several phones have included a stereo handsfree but I never actually used them ? it seemed like a bad idea for car use and I never thought to try them elsewhere. When I?m not calling from my car I?m probably standing outdoors near traffic, a noisy environment to say the least. Having a little speaker in each ear really drowns out the background noise. I like it. Alot.
