The phone I switched to is the P800, so I'm quite familiar with
the P900 as well.  When the price drops, I'll probably upgrade.
In addition to most of the sidekick functionality, the P800
added removable memory cards and a removable battery (and replacement
batteries were $8 so I got 2 spares), a touch screen, built-in
camera, stereo sound, loads of installable 3rd party apps (which is
why I immediately ordered a larger memory card), an infrared port
that ACTUALLY WORKS (and will do both IRDA and beam contacts to/from
Palm, PocketPC, etc), and Bluetooth.  It will also allow me to use
the phone's GPRS as a data connection from my laptop or pda over
USB, IR, or bluetooth.  Oh, and the phone syncs with all sorts
of OSes and apps and doesn't require daily recharging.

I've found using Ezitap to add word completion to the onscreen
keyboard increases my speed considerably.  It also remembers
words I use frequently and puts them first in the list.

I keep hoping Sony Ericsson will update the Ericsson chatboard
in a compact bluetooth or IR format and then I'll even have
a thumbboard.
