I wish i can also say that I buy harddrives... but I've given that up maybe two years ago when I reached 1 terabyte.

If you have 1TB, that's enough. Anymore and people will begin to think you produce porn films. images/smilies/wink.gif I'm getting along with a 200gb so far, may need more storage in the future, my case has room for five drives.

I never used a regular DS, so I can't tell you how much better it is. I like the Brain Age game and it even has Sudoku on it.

Simple question, does it feel large or chunky in your hands?

The Z510 is 1mm thicker than a Motorola RAZR (13.9mm vs. 14.9mm), just to give an idea of how thin the phone is images/smilies/biggrin.gif

The Z510 can ring and vibrate at the same time. I just double checked to make sure I wasn't leading you astray images/smilies/tongue.gif It's quite a vigorous vibrate, maybe we'll see some girls strapping it to the inside of their legs images/smilies/wicked.gif

Yep, it's 14.9mm thick/thin, insanely thin compared to the T630 I replaced it with. 2.2" (diagonal) TFT LCD screen which is amazingly clear, the camera is only 1.3MP but that doesn't concern me, I hardly use them, although it is very sharp. The buttons are nice to push as well, easy layout to navigate around.
