> If only it had an embedded GSM module... I don't see a need for a GSM or 3G module. The device is (primarily) not a phone, it's an Internet tablet! I always carry a 3G phone, but I wouldn't want to carry my 770 with me wherever I go, and it is definitely too clumsy to make a phone call with. If I need to surf the net with the tablet and there is no WiFi network available, I use the radio in my phone. Once set up, the Bluetooth connection between the tablet and the phone really works seamlessly; you hardly even realize the phone is involved in the connection. On the other hand, if the tablet had its own GSM module (and I wouldn't be able to use it via the phone), I would need two GSM subscriptions and two SIM cards, one for each device. That would be silly.
