I am not going to be drawn into that one mate ;)

Three Fuji's I have.

Yup, and I dislike them all purely as they are too unwieldy IMO.

Order me six eh? ;)

That's the problem, the vast majority of stuff I do on the web I need
to
type for which renders these devices, more or less, useless to me in
that regard.

Yup and I stand by it to!

Same thing, different wrapper, although I can at least see the sense in
the Pocket PC idea as at least it's the correct kind of size.

Ooo, low blow there! ;)

Yup, I did say it was cool but with the proviso on the pricing. I still
think that the colour Pronto is way over-priced for what it is over the
mono one and the mono Marantz Pro thingy is just silly money given the
price of the Pronto!
