* qwerty thumboard (20-60 wpm)
* ergonomic UI specialized for email (i.e., very quickly compose and
view messages - quicker than any Japanese cell I've seen)
* good push (a nasty hack to get around the gross deficiencies of
horrid Western keitai systems) (also cf. Docomo, which will quickly
give up sending you email if you're in a tunnel when one arrives.)
