Yep, I had a PDA with cellular internet, and didn't care for either 
the tiny keyboard or the stylus or the 320 X 200 screen.

So I switched to a Verizon PCMCIA cellular internet card in a Toshiba 
12.1" laptop, which has a normal keyboard.

Much easier to type on and see, yet still relatively small and light.
