Motorokr E6: Shortlisted

Well I had seen those ads by Abhisekh but did not quite get the essence of it. Just came across this one yesterday and believe me it looks real cool. The wireless headset is really worth the money. After I tried out the Sony walkman phones last year i had thought nothing like the sould quality that sony provides. Well the motorokr has has real good sound coming out of it.

Seems to fit into some of my requirements.
PDA style touch screen to give that feel of a business phone...
Biz Card reader, handwritting recognition software..
2 mp camera
expandable memory upto 2GB
Built in FM radio
Can be used as a web-cam
And i guess its Linux based OS. (waiting for reactions frm experts on that)

The price:
Bangalore - Rs 18000 (thats what the shopkeeper quoted. I am told u can get it for 17,500)

But hold on that's not all. The catch is that this set for 18000 does not include the wireless headset. And there is an 1gb sd card bundled with it.

The one with the headset is 23000 bucks... and that includes the 2gb sd card.
Does not seem value for money. Especially considering that the headphone works on bluetooth and all of us know how much of battery it eats up. The headset itself, I was told by the shopkeeper has a talktime of 5hrs... but i am probably going to use it for listening to music so it could be lesser.

The handset itseld has a talktime of 2hrs. which is as per my needs quite less.
