I had one like that, did SD and MS, but I loaned it out while on a dive
trip and never got it back. My new laptop has an SD slot built in, so I
guess it doesn't matter much.

I pay for 500/mo out-of-network messaging, which is worthwhile even
though I usually use much less. Most of my messaging and calls are
in-network, largely to my mother who I have on my family plan. Unlimited
in-network everything is handy with my mother 1,700 miles away.

I've fiddled a bit with the Bluetooth, and I can get it to pair with my
iPaq and my laptop, but I haven't fiddled enough to get it to transfer
files.

Cell phone cameras aren't competing with dedicated digital cameras, but
they are incredibly handy for quickly documenting stuff.
