Steve, Barbara, I'm just doing a recap here since I was interested in the N79.
Barbara, you liked it well enough but had a problem, right?
Steve, why do you like it so much? Does it have all the bells and whistles you
would want on a phone, or do you go back to other handsets for various things
you want to do?
