    Are they worth getting?

    Only if you plan to use them. I had the fingerprint reader on my T42. I never used it myself so I opted not to get it on my R60.

    The way I see it, the fingerprint reader will just help you forget passwords.
    The webcam would've been nice to have, but as it is now, I have no use for it; I, nor any of my friends use webcams on MSNM or anything... Plus I don't like the aspect of having to be dressed and shaved just to talk to my friends on the computer, LOL.
    Mic: well, don't they all come with that now? It's only needed if you use the webcam since for doing any real recording, you're gonna want a real mic anyway...
