Some thoughts....

I think the 9200 series "phones" from Nokia are targeted directly at PDA users. It has one of the best keyboards on any handheld device I have tried. The high resolution screen is great. Built-in Support for viewing PowerPoint. Works great with Outlook. I think writing Email/SMS/Word documents is easier on Communicator than any PocketPC thanks to the keyboard. Viewing webpages on the wide screen looks better than the narrow screen on PocketPC too.

I don't use my 9110 because I want a small phone and a larger PDA. This is also why I didn't get the 9210 (It doesn't have GPRS either).

I read somewhere (I think on this site), that Microsoft expects there to be A LOT MORE SmartPhones than PocketPCs. The percentage difference was amazing. These SmartPhones are selling for the same price as low-end PDAs so why should a company get into the PDA market if you are killing everyone in the SmartPhone market?
