Some comments:
- with CompactFlash GPRS cards also Pocket PCs can be used as a celluar phone
- thanks to software from Westtek also Microsoft Smartphone can view Office documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint)
- HTC Voyager smartphone already is on sale and it has built-in Bluetooth; more MS Smartphones with Bluetooth is coming early next year
- drivers for SDIO Wi-Fi card are under development in SyChip company - so next year we can expect Wi-Fi support also for Microsoft smartphones
- itīs true, that there is no Microsoft Reader for Microsoft smartphone (Microsoft didnīt want to port it to smartphone, although it would be very easy), but our friends from Mobipocket.com are offering quite good eBook reader also for MS Smartphone, also with secure eBook feature
- one important feature, not mentioned above is display resolution: nowadays one can buy Pocket PC PDAs with screen resolution of 480x640 - so if you need high-end PDA features, just go for Pocket PC with 480x640 resolution plus Microsoft smartphone as a cell phone
