The Siemens phone is back-ordered, AT&T informs me. So I’ll have to make do with the good ol’ Nokia for a while longer.
The Toshiba arrived yesterday, however, and so far I’m impressed. It’s light, sleek, and engineered like a tank. I was skeptical about the pivoting screen, which converts from the Tablet PC slate format (portrait orientation, with the pen for input) to a traditional notebook-with-keyboard format. But it works, and it seems more solid than the plastic hinges on the old HP.
I haven’t had a chance to do much more than fiddle with the pen as an input device. It did a surprisingly good job with my crappy handwriting, though, converting it to text with more accuracy than I would have expected.
