I am really becoming attached to my Nokia 6630 (thanks Nokia and eTech).  I have stopped carrying around my iPaq, because when I’m mobile I can get all that info that I was using it for via the 6630. 

Some of the interfaces to Notes and Tasks are pretty simplistic, and their doesn’t appear to be a global or localized search function, but I am still learning.  But the sync up to Outlook is really good on Contacts and Calendar.

The other thing I really like is that I can load any MP3 or a sample of a MP3 to the unit and make it a ring tone.  That is nice.

The only issue I have with it right now is that the buttons are a little small for my hands and I make errors plugging in numbers at times when I try to go to fast.

Some news items I need to dig into though could make the device even more useful (the operating system on the phone is Symbian OS):

I also noticed that Nokia has a new "slate" device in the works: "Nokia 770, 4-inch horizontal screen, running Linux, and selling for $350." [computerworld]  It appears to be be geared for mobile data access, but with Linux available it might also make for a good podcaster tool.
