Yes, I no longer have to go home to check my emails, I can check them on my phone from wherever I am!
I think it depends on your personal style, and how important it is for you to do work when you are away from your desk. I bought a Nokia E61i, in part because it included features like PDF viewing, and the ability to open and edit Word and Excel documents. I would say I have used the Word and Excel features maybe two or three times in two years.
The screen and keyboard are just too small to be productive. For communicating - email, instant messaging, Facebook updates, etc. , these devices are great. For typical office productivity applications, I think you have to REALLY need it in order to find it useful.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
