The screen is just big enough to write on it and have the writing recognized by the HWR. There are of course still tons off issues, first of all speed, but also missing synchronization with the internal address book and other apps, and of course the outside world. Internet access is possible though, so we might be getting somewhere.

Sure, people stare when I lift the little tablet to my ear, but hey, that's a nice conversation starter. And the phone is good enough for me as a tablet replacement. It's big enough to read EMail or watch videos, play cards, etc. .
