Thanks for the thoughts on the uses of smartphones. There are certainly some very handy and fun features. I confess to being very tempted. The need vs want issue is a topic in itself. While my wife and I are both "dumb" phone users at the moment, we are both car users and have one each. There are good reasons (I think), but could we like you manage without, or only one?

But those cheap phones that look like competitors to the iPhone (*cough* LG Dare *cough*) are just ordinary touch screen phones with little care given into the design. In other words, its a smart-ish dumb phone. And recalibration is for those phones which sometimes lose there ability to tell where you are touching. Apparently your phone is multitouch capable, so no recalibration is required. I hope Verizon gets it together and gets a real good phone. Network is great, phones... suck :\ Thanks for the reply to my comment btw :) (And no, I did not pay attention to that detail about windows) Yes, the Palm Pre does have a multitouch screen.
