I know both are outrageous prices in American or European terms!). BTW the Quench in Brazil DOES NOT seem to come with the swype feature... In fact, I doubt I could edit in Emacs or similar in a phone. I am afraid of virtual keyboards and small physical keyboards as well :) For someone over forties I tend to do not consider these typing devices as toys or at least funny :) For this reason I think that a nice interface such as MobileOrg with agenda view would be the best. ConnectBot seems to be an option as well (when you have connection, of cour= se!) Sven, you seem quite happy with a virtual keyboard. Am I right?
