[pct-l] Phones

The audio journal is pretty neat.

I think I'm gonna have the DX mostly off instead of worrying about charging

May I add:

music
audio journal
audible ap - I have enjoyed listening to good audio books during long hiking  

days-- it has helped me get through boring sections-- and being out on the  
trail 
really opens my mind up- I really feel like I am soaking the nuances of the 
book.

I'm looking at devices that charge phones with a AA battery.

I'll be using a Droid X. Partially because of its satellite based gps 
capabilities.

I also thought the 8MP camera sounded good, but its a bit disappointing.

The DX almost does it all :
Journal
Email
GPS without cell service 
Camera
