Interesting.

I did once thought about getting a smartphone some months ago. I was neither thinking about working nor surfing on the road. Rather, I have bought some ebooks (PDF) in the past that I appreciate a handy reader so that I can read on the road. However, even the model with the largest screen (3.8" is the largest I know of - a bit larger than iphone 3G) still would not allow optimal viewing of conventional A4-sized PDF pages, and so did not justify the ~USD$900 price tag for me. So I dropped the idea.

Probably a netbook is more suitable for me. My laptop is simply too big to carry everywhere. Except missing cellular phone functionality, I think netbook is more "malleable" especially when WIFI and GPRS modules are now builtin in newer models.
