Jim,

I realize you're looking for a trade, but if you decide to buy, take 
a serious look at the ThinkPad 701 (aka Butterfly)! This is one heck 
of a machine in a "subnotebook" form factor. Except that the 
expanding keyboard is the same size as the 755CD, as is the dual-scan 
or active matrix screen. While IBM couldn't find enough real estate 
for the MWave, they do have a DSP for sound and 14.4Kbps modem.
