…because I think I can cut the costs of my cell phone plan WAY back by adopting a UMPC again. I am leaning toward the Sony VAIO UX490 (I found a company in China selling them for about a quarter of the cost here in the US). It includes an AT&T SIM card for the ultimate in portability…but only the EDGE network and not 3G. The SIM card doesn’t support voice plans, only data…however, if I use Skype on it (or another VOIP service) I can dramatically cut back my calling plan on AT&T. I don’t like to talk on the phone anyway (because of my hearing loss…and the fact that my hearing aids render just about every conversation on every mobile device I’ve tried as GOBBLE-DEE-GOOK) and the calls I ABSOLUTELY HAVE to make I can make on Skype…it has Bluetooth built-in so my BT headset and hands-free device will work.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?????
