And it does SMS (fantastic)

I've spent too damn long with Palm in one hand and phone in the other...

Actually, Samsung did this a couple of months back, but no sign yet of a
version which
is targeted @ the UK. And of course you need a Visor as well, but at least
it's GSM
so it'll work here. Now I know what to buy next time I'm over.

Cheers
Martin
