Thanks. I went to Motorola's site and looked at it.

Regretfully, not for my purposes.

Why:

-  240 x 320 color screen  (too small FOR ME, I want something at least 640 
x 480)
    Harder to see small screens when you're over 50.  <grin>

- still, I could live with a small screen, BUT.....  it's a phone --
   the physical size means lower battery life

- no development system on it (it's a phone...)
