As the WSJ review said it is really a portable computer.My sense if you can use the web browsing capabilities to check maps, look up rental information if you use an online PM system and otherwise have info with you at all times (or access to the web with full web capability).Plus the ability to manage your email so you could check in with people handling a closing, etc if they need to send documents for review.Some other phones are pretty close or have the same ability for the activities above.Comments?

Just a thought for you Doomsday Guys:If it really goes down, the things of value you are stockpiling had better be portable.

Here's what I saw as the necessaries when I walked through the house:3br/2ba/1cg - 1,496 sq ft (3Br is a converted sunroom - lots of windows and a closet)-eat-in kitchen needs baseboard-refrigerator-dishwasher-bedroom (converted sunroom) has ugly vinyl floor – replace with carpet?

The half bath needed a new vanity and the full bath needed some minor work on the linen closet and that was it.

What do you usually factor in for portable toilets, temporary power, temporary water, and other holding costs?  

It is actually a 2 bed, with a bonus room  Bonus room is a small bedroom(with closet) but the washer and dryer hook up is also in that room.

Haven't had too much issue since then, aside from a tenant who smuggled in and bred pit bulls and locked them in the closets, causing extensive damage to solid wood doors.

The previous owner somehow omitted the sliding floor to ceiling closet doors so I did not get it with the house. 

(toke me a week and a half with one helper) it looks like a pro job but a real pro would have done it in two days.I had to also learn how to set up a computer network for entire house with LAN cables for every room so i can plug in a computer everywhere laundry room, garage included, with connecting to a network hub in closet. 

Tore off every closet door, kicked holes in the walls, ripped towel racks off the walls, cut holes in screens, flooded out the laundry room, left pink magic marker all over the carpet in the downstairs family room, stole two new rugs.
