No! Because I don't always have access to the Net, and I don't see that happening for the forseeable future either.

Phones do a lousy job as anything other than a simple means of communication. Their form factor should be small and pocket-able and have BT for DUN when a broadband is not available to the tablet IMHO.
Actually, having the phone as your PIM-base is not too bad an idea: I have my phone with me always -- OK, almost always -- and my tablet most of the time, so close interaction of those two seems logical to me. And having the data on my phone means that I don't have to hope and pray for an internet connection whenever I want to check my schedule.
