My 9500 is poor man's iPAD

I know it sounds odd, but for reading books and looking at the internet, the 9500 has a big enough screen to work with and a key board that is easy to type on. Books are great on it. Just a rugged machine that works.

Anyone else using it for that? I still use my 5800 for the phone, but I figure that the iPAD is a way not to always keep the computer on. Well, the 9500 works for that.

I know the 9500 is outdated (2004 , Euro 800) , but by the time it was new it had roughly the same price as the iPad now .
I still use the outdated E90 (2007, Euro 800) and the 9500 as backup .
When I saved the money at a non-bankrupting bank during 6 years , I could buy 2 iPads ......
But miss 6 years of mobile life .
