Apples and Oranges.

Desktop vs tablet.

I don't expect my phone to function as my desktop. I do, however, expect my desktop to function as my desktop (not my phone).

Speaking of phones, my son managed to break the screen on my wife's wp7 focus last night (no easy task). Looks like we're off to the ATT store at lunch to get something new.

If ATT doesn't try to switch us to a 'limited' unlimited data plan (we're grandfathereds in to the real Unlimited plan), we'll probably replace both our Focuses with Nokia 920s if they have them.
