I'm currently switching between (#1) HTC TyTnII and (#2) the iPhone. If the iPhone had a better calendar, it would be the permanent #1. The iPhone dependability is the best. I like the TyTnII, but there always seems to be a few glitches. The Daylight Savings Time snafu of WM6 was almost enough to send the thing packing for good. What Geek at Microsoft would think you might want to adjust for time zones when you input an appointment or flight time. The itinerary (inputted in PST) says you have a 10AM flight from London to Bonn. When you arrive in London, WM6 now says your flight is at 2AM!

Amen to Anson. I also have a 3-year old G-4 Powerbook, 12" screen. It's awesome. I was hoping the Air would be ultra mobile. Ultra thin just doesn't cut it so I'm looking for a new UMPC. Are you listening Steve Jobs??

Thanks for a great review. I'm seriously looking for a UMPC and had just convinced myself, after Ben's last review, that the Sony Vaio PCG-U3 UMPC was for me. Now I'm not so sure. The U3 has Windows XP, a definite plus, while the HP2133 has Windows Vista, a definite minus. Back to agonizing, unable to make a decision....
