Hi guys,
What's ur opinion on this? We've seen mobile phones with pda capabilities and pdas with integrated telephony features and they ended up becoming more like each other. Surely, the market won't be able to accomodate two of them. One might become a thing of the past. What do u think?

I prefer to keep my phone and PDA seperate (although I share info between them). I don't like using one item for everything incase it gets lost/broken.

I think,YES,it's time to say goog bye PDA!
If you take a look at the latest phone models(doesn't metter the brand:SE,Nokia,Samsung,etc..),you'll see that 80-90% of them have organizer-business capabilities.
I think that PDA and phone almost become one,and in the near future they will be only one concept :smartphone

Separated phone and pda are safer. This summer i lost my asus a620: some books fell on it from the broken bookshelf. My r520 felt nothing so i stayed online!

I agree that we are moving towards an integrated future, with single devices combing the functionaliy of several. It may not be the direction somc want to take, but I think we have to accept that we are already on our way, in my opinion.

i prefer an all in one device as long as it is good! i mean all the features of a stand alone pda shud be there in the phone....without it being too bulky...

It must be bulky, for the big screen to fit. Sorta problem.

IMO, it's inevitable. Considering how fast technology progresses, PDAs in phones will soon mature into full blown PDAs. I even think that it will become more of a pocket computer with an integrated phone feature, which is fully user customizable.

I am also one who prefers to keep my pda separate from my phone being a fan of the iPAQ/:se: combination.
Sure I have had time with the 9110, 9210, P800, P900 and next week P910 but at the end of the day when the choice comes to it the pda-phone always loses out to the combo
my iPAQs always have larger screens and generally better capabilities and when combined with a small phone (currently K700) I have the choice of leaving the PDA at home when going out for the night and taking just that small phone whereas with the PDA-phone you are left with more bulk on such evenings out. There are more reasons for me too but I'll keep this post brief

I'm with masseur. Combined units are desirable for many people. I prefer seperate units as I like a small phone. I hope the marketplace has room to satisfy both camps.
