I'll try my best to differentiate a Smartphone from a PDA phone...
A smart phone is a phone with enhanced capabilities especially the possibility of installing robust 3rd party applications of different uses (not just cheap java games). A PDA phone is primarily a PDA (common types are Palms and Pocket PCs but now also Symbian) with some phone functionalities.
For those not familiar with Microsoft phone softwares, they actually made two types which differentiates a smartphone from a PDA-phone. They made a Windows Smartphone OS (used by the SPV, Tanager, etc.) which resembles a phone OS because you use a keypad and a joystick. They also made a Pocket PC Phone Edition (used by the XDA) where you primarily use a touch screen and stylus. Functionalities are also different... smartphones act like normal mobile phones while PDA-phones act more like PDA's.
By following this line of thinking the 6600 is indeed a smartphone. The XDA2 and the coming motorola MPx are PDA Phones. And the P800/900 is somewhere in the middle... With regards to the communicator, it can be considered a PDA Phone or something in the middle (the Communicator resembles the old Win CE handheld PCs).

How come no SE fanatics post any sales figure of P900 or T610.
Are the figure too puny or are you too ashamed to provide the figure?
Taking info from one of poster, just imagine this, if half of units sold by SE is T610, which comes to 4m units per quarter. This would be less than 10% of Nokia. Just look at the 6600. It over sold 2m in that period and it is higher end phone. For Nokia mid-range (e.g 6610, 7250), it will obviously beat the T610 by a significant margin
So what so great about T610?
Over here, nobody really care to look at SE as its product are overpriced for its functionality and the price will tumbled after 2-3 months of release. Not a wise buy at all.
I only see someone with P900 occasionally, but I see 6600 everywhere.
Now I see some SE fans will be pulling their hair out and knocking their heads against the wall.
