Nokia
Its not Nokia that Smartphone or Pocket PC phone edition need to worry about - its the symbian based OS that is being put in these devices. First there was the 9210 - a bit of a brick but this really helped Nokia and Symbian sales last year. Now we have the Nokia 7650 which is doing the same thing (boosting symbian/nokia sales). I have the 9210 and have used (briefly) the 7650. Both are good devices but not good enough to make me give up my Ipaq. The concern for pocket pc is that these devices are improving and quickly - The new sony ericsson P800 is alleged to be a killer device and I am seriously considering it as my next phone/pda. I spoke to s/e last week about the delayed release and they said there had been some issues but they have resolved them now -they also told me that they were getting 50 calls a day asking when the device would be released - the caller before me was a corporate customer looking for 2000 of the devices before Xmas.
