OK, I will admit the iPhone is a cool looking gadget, but all of the reviews leave me saying that it is cool, but it won't do the things I need it to do.

My Treo680 will do everything I need, but the screen (320x320) and the thumbboard-button interface is not ideal. And it is bigger/heavier than the iPhone. My Lifedrive does much of what the iPhone can do, and has the same size screen and is almost a mini-laptop replacement. But it doesn't have cell phone capability.

If I really wanted to ditch my lifedrive and Treo combination, and replace it with a single device, I'd need it to have additional capabilities. The $599 price would not be a problem, since I'd be ditching 2 devices for 1.

So....what features will Gen II need to make it workable for you?

I need:

Exchange active sync
An External keyboard interface (for serious work)
3G speed
Word, Excel and Power Powerpoint software with editing capability
DUN (Dial up networking for my Laptop) through Bluetooth
Swappable battery (for international flights)
VPN and network drive connection capability
Some sort of SD card slot.

I would like it to have:
IR interface
VOYP when in a Wifi Hot Spot

What else would you like to see?
