I think it is a great idea. You are totally right that the convergence of mobile devices is a long way into the future. The idea to have optimized devices is wonderful. I myself do like to get the best results when I do carry stuff around. So it has to be a good point and shoot camera, a good mp3 player and why not a good and slim little e-mail device?

The price point may be high for a truly mass penatration. I would think sales would really soar on $9.95-$12.95/month plan. Can people use existing e-mail or will they need to get a T-mobile address? The design looks very sleek and easy to use. Text messaging is extremely popular. A test message option would be really smart. I thought that people were getting the I-phone so that they could dump three devices for one. I guess I was wrong. Good luck, I'll look for the device at Target.

That being said, declaring e-mail bankruptcy isn't the way to deal with e-mail overload -- you are right. Declaring e-mail bankruptcy essentially puts the onus on others to mop up after you, just because you weren't able to manage your work. That AOL study was pretty enlightening regarding how many people feel that they are hooked on it. The irony is that as it grows in being the most prolific method of commerce, it shouldn't surprise us that we find e-mail taking up more time in our days. But when it gets in the way of the rest of our lives, then it becomes a problem. That's where it turns from bad habit into addiction. And, like just about every addiction, the addicted person may not realize it -- it's important to tune in to what the others around you are saying about you and your e-mail!
