Something you guys forgot to mention was the need for extra batteries. It's always a great idea to to have a backup laptop battery for those emergency moment where you don't have access to an outlet.

A bunch of Windows Mobile 6.1 phones will be upgradable for free to 6.5 - The touch 2, and Touch Pro 2 jump out immediately - but I'm not sure of the HTC Ozone.
