Crackberry !!
I’ve had a Dell Axim x51v for five years now. I’m on my fifth battery, sixth case, and have wanted to stop carrying around a PDA and a cell phone for a while, but offerings in a cell phone package have always been less than what I have. A full color 640x480 display, with removable storage and easy swap batteries. Were it not for being able to easily tether the cell phone to the PDA, I’m sure it would have hit eBay by now.
And admittedly, it’s fun sometimes to be at the coffee shop or at the airport and watch iEnvy when people notice that I’m watching full video on my PDA, or browsing the web faster than they can.
My netbook somewhat replaced the PDA at times, but for me, it’s just a wee bit too large to haul around all the time. Yeah, I know, smaller than a book, but still, I wanted a cell phone that could do everything I could five years ago, and up till now, I’ve still been disappointed at the marketplace.
I’ve finally got hope though - the specs for the Nexus One from Google are quickly being leaked, and it looks like I can finally have my cake and eat it too. We’ll see when it gets closer to launch date what the price is, and what the contract reads. But it still bothers me that smartphone technology took this long to come back to the level that PDAs had so long ago.
The artical is mistitled
It merely discusses the best “Availlable in the US Smartphones”.
The US has been behind in cell technologyfor a decade now and the gap between the capabilities we can buy and what is offered in Asia is widening rapidly.
Slim is Unclear on the Concept.
I have a friend like that, who just got his first smartphone.
I keep asking him when he’s going to get it surgically attached!

I will obtain a smart phone when it can make coffee.
The new LG Expo is supreme. $199 at ATT
This is the phone with the optional projector. Forget the projector — the phone is wonderful.
It has a fingerprint sensor that locks the phone, so if you leave your phone somewhere, all of the data is locked.
VERY VERY COOL.
