Well, currently, there are *millions* of phones that ship *every
month* in the configuration I am describing and *none* that ship in
the configuration you are describing. So what customers are
*currently* doing is the thing that you are saying people wont opt
for. Better tell Apple and RIM (and probably others) to stop selling
all those phones - Oh, excuse me... computers. lol.
