There's one other interesting feature. If, like me, you do all of your planning electronically (keeping a spreadsheet of hotel names and addresses, a document with article snippets and itinerary info and emergency numbers, etc) you can have these in your pocket and view them on your phone any time. I brought an older model unlocked Blackberry on my last trip abroad and picked up prepaid SIM cards upon arrival, and it was handy having all of those restaurant suggestions gathered in one place when it came time to eat and I was nowhere near the hotel.

And of course those documents are all stored on Google Docs or elsewhere online so you can access them from any internet cafe should anything go wrong (lost/broken phone, etc).
