Hi,

It sounds as though BC wins the vote; does it handle webpages?

The other feature that courier has that the port does not is a key describe
feature which will tell you what each key does. One thing in particular I
don't like about the book port is that to use many features, you need to
press several keys at once. You don't have to do this very much at all on
the courier.

hi, I'd like to second the comments below.
i have both and have all but stopped using my bookport in favor of the
courier.
i like it's user interface.
i like the different shapped keys, i can use the device without pulling
it out of my pocket.
