Do you have to use the stylus or can you also use it touch screen and/or do everything via the navigation "mouse" wheel thing? I am not a big fan of stylus/pen based computing.

Are the internet features worth it? We rarely travel, but it would be nice to have good texting with some email/internet access when away from home. Being able to login to Threshold would be kindof amazing actually.
It is a little bulky, maybe too much for some pants that have smaller pockets in them, but it's just as thick as some other phones i've used and only a little bit wider/taller. I'd probably recommend a leather belt pouch/holder for it (at least Dalaena can use a purse )

You can use either the stylus or the jogwheel, using my finger is a little more difficult for some of the smaller items (like the battery indicator) because it's kind of fat, but it's definitely usable as touchscreen-only for most everything (not the stylus keyboard though). Typically i use a combination of fingertip touchscreen/jogwheel and pull out the keyboard to type, though on occasion I find it might be a little faster to type out a quick text response with the stylus.

As for the internet features, like Talsek said, it really depends on how much use you think you'll get out of them. I just moved to a place i haven't lived since I was 11, and Google maps has been a HUGE help in me finding my way around everywhere. Most common free email apps have a mobile version of their service (like gmail) that's customized for smaller displays, some websites also do (ESPN especially is awesome, i can easily and quickly check the fantasy league from my phone). One kind of annoying thing that I'm thinking about now, though, is when I'm logged on threshold, if I switch between a UMTS tower and a regular GPRS tower, I have to log out/back in... but really it's minor.

Another plus for the phone is that you can actually sync it with your laptops and use it as a mobile wireless access point. I haven't actually used that feature yet, but I know the capability is there. Yet another cool feature is that it's got a built in 802.11g card, so you can connect it to any wifi spot.
