That's just it though. I already have a dictionary, and I do all my net surfing from the computer at home or at work. So I'd be spending ~$300 to gain a notepad.

Its one of the reasons why I haven't looked too hard into buying an iPhone or any other smart phone. Why spend the $100-300 up front, plus being locked into a $100*+/month contract, when I could just keep spending $10-20 a month with my current pay-as-you-go phone.

After all, all those objects that you replaced with the iPhone or iPod Touch don't just disappear from your possession just because you now own an all-in-one.

*Based upon prices for a viable package from the only carrier in Canada to carry the iPhone
