Looks pretty nice, except for the aerial and lack of WiFi :?

WiFi will soon be a must for any PPC I buy I think (he says as he lovingly cradles his Jam! )

Hmmmm, anyone besides me who think that external antenna looks really stupid?

yes I must admit before ordering my Jam I was wondering if I should hold out for the BenQ maybe, but the size is just so looooovvveeeelllyyyy (plus I didn't like the the look of the BenQ keyboard).

I picked up a sandisk 256/wifi sd card and I'm just as happy. It's no real hardship to carry, and it seems to give much better signal strength than any other device I have with built in WiFi...

I like the look of it but totally agree about the lack of WiFi.
