Would you swap for a T-Mobile Ameo?

I want one but it\'s too bigA new version of the T-Mobile Ameo – this time with a 16GB hard drive (not clear as yet whether this is flash or an actual HDD) has been released this month by T-Mobile, and the mini laptop/big PDA has been furnished with Windows Mobile 6.1 by all accounts.

The previous release of the T-Mobile branded super PDA (originally the HTC Advantage) was a little unwieldy in places; phonecalls broadcast to the public thanks to a loud loudspeaker and an annoyingly commonplace “falling over” of the device whenever the user tried to touch the touchscreen.

However with advances in touchscreen UI and the proliferation of WinMo on-screen keyboards, the magnetic Ameo keyboard should be pretty much a useful addition rather than a vital component.  Throw in a Bluetooth earpiece for handsfree phonecalls and you could probably use it now without carrying a mobile phone as well.
