While at $199 you get great many features like GPS, 3G, full browsing along with fully functional phone, its the darn at&t lock-in for 2 years with $20 premium every month (on top of a typical smart-phone tariff) that I need to shell-out gets me thinking.
Still a great bargain compared to my windows mobile phone with blue-tooth GPS dongle and third-party crappy applications.
