Ok thanks a lot...

My P910 shall be arriving november 3rd... will be visiting this great forum pretty often then to learn more things...

there you are wrong.
the p800 was the first attempt, and it suceeded. it does nearly everyhthing a PDA does.
then came the p900, which had better screen.
and then the p910i, which has better cam, memory and the lot.
but it really is a question of having a phone and pda, or a smartphone, and how much you are willing to pay.
sony ericsson smartphones are very expensive!

I bought a Sony Clie TH55 as I did not have WiFi on my then P900 (now P910), but use the P910 more because its very portable, has great battery life and the jog dial makes it very easy to use. With a third-party app like Agendus the PIM functions are enhanced enough. Finally, I also use the Pocketop IR keyboard for large volumes of typing.

I chose the Ipaq/phone solution (Yes AFTER trying the P900) I think the P9 was ok as PDA but cumbersome as phone. Besides i have never fallen for the Swiss army gadget theory. I am of the old school that use a proper screwdriver, and a real knife, real pliers and so on
You just canīt beat specialized equipment IMO.. even tho the P-series comes close. Besides I can choose when and if i want to tote a PDA along and if i want to wear a pair of tight jeans i can get my phone out of my pocket without cutting it open or spending 1― minute getting it out

The thing I complain about my P910 is that is needs too much costumization and until comes close to the funcionality of a Palm.
For one thing, the P910 lacks dedicated buttons!!
I loved the 4 buttons my Palm had: Calendar, Phone Book, Notes & Jotter - one click away. Also had a button for regulating the light intensity. Even with dedicated software like KeyMapper, the lack of these buttons make the phone counter-intuitive to use.
Also be prepared to feel the lack of specific software.
Most applications are primitive, lack functionality, have counter-intuitive interfaces (i.e. menus), most offer no on-screen help, have no import/export possibility, etc.
It's a chalenging phone, but I guess the geek in me is loving it!

Get a Fujitsu Pocket Loox 720 and slap in a GPRS card and voila....everything a P910 can do and better...

i am in the same situation right now
i have a p800 for 2.5 years now and i think its time to move along
now the most obvious choise is a p****, but i WANT wifi
my question is to wait for a p*** with wifi, or buy a pda + use my old t68i for gprs and calling?
p1000:
have a new gadget
all in one
wait my ass of
pda + t68i:
bigger screen, faster, more apps, more memory, SDIO
smaller size when i go out (only t68i) less risk of getting it stolen
more buttons
2 objects
p.s.
how is the battery compared? (PDA p***)

I'm an old SE user, starting from the P800, and I now have the P910i. However, recently I handled the O2 XDA 2s. Undoubtedly its a tad bigger and weighs about 50 gms or so more. But I am being tempted to go for an O2. However:
1) Syncing is a song if you're using Outlook on your desktop and a PPC. Activesync is intelligent too, any change in Outlook gets immediately transferred to the PPC. Plus, the outlook on the PPC syncs every field from the Outlook on the PC. I think the same is possible with office documents, if they're kept in a folder created for the PPC on the desktop.
2) Wifi is an added advantage, if you need that. It's certainly cheaper than GPRS.
3) The XDA doesn't have T9 dictionary.
4) Battery life is roughly half that of a P910i.
5) Availability of software is a little better for PPCs.
6) P910i flip is compact, O2 keyboard is cumbersome.
On balance, I'll perhaps go in for an O2 XDA since I'm a voracious Office user.
