That won't make my communications easier, that just makes it more  
complicated. One way or another, probably within the next few months,  
I'm going to have one mobile communications device, with one phone  
number, that allows me to talk for free to my friends in London and  
family across the world when I'm in range of a freely accessible WiFi  
connection (which is much of the day).

Just wish it had been the Neo, because it's such a great product  
otherwise.

To suggest that that's what I'm doing is missing my point entirely.

It's called a figure of speech.
