Ryan, I'm the exact same way. I carry a SE T610 in one pocket, and iPaq in my other pocket.

I would love to give up both devices for one that converged the two, but I really don't like any of the Pocket PC phone devices that are currently available. They all seem kind of big for my needs. I am waiting for something like a Treo 600 to come out on the Pocket PC side.

Personally, I also think that devices like the Treo 600 will have a limited audience, but that audience will be the people that surf this web site.

Most people that don't want the power of a PDA will probably just go with a regular cell phone, and maybe use the limited PIM functionality that's available. I don't see Microsoft's Smartphone OS becoming really popular, except for in countries where people are used to typing with predictive text already..
