I guess if I had "four different phone numbers, 2 cell phone providers, and several phones, including a Visorphone" I wouldn't care either, but that's not realistic for most people, for whom 1 is more than enough.
I don't know how you could implement your store/loaner solution. You'd have to pay an activation, start a new service, probably take out a contract. Practical? No.
And why should I have to just because Handspring can't get its act together.....that's really the point, isn't it?
Couldn't agree more. If my VP fails now, what am I going to do? Walk downstairs to the Vodafone shop, buy a very cheap Alcatel for $ 85 or a (not so) cheap Nokia for $ 200? or, in the meantime I try to live without the mobile?
I have no problems with my VP, but I think if it happens, I'll just discard it. I could ending up buying a Bluetooth module for my Visor Prism, a Nokia 6210 with Bluetooth, and don't have to worry about cables or IR. It's a $ 650 expense - but hey, Nokia still makes the best phone around.
