When Microsoft finished work on the Pocket PC version, they then work on the phone components. Ever wondered why the Phone Edition devices always come out 4-6 months after the non-phone devices? That's why. With Windows Mobile 5, that may have changed and perhaps we'll see phone devices come out at the same time as non-phone devices. I'm just not sure yet.

Ah, I see. I've been out of the PDA world for far too long.
With all the "experts" saying PDAs will converge into phones, and the rumors about WM 5.0 lessening the boundry between PDA and Smartphone, hopefully we can scrap that middle step-child of the WM family, and be left with the two OSes, Pocket PC and Smartphone. But like you said, we'll have to play the waiting game and see.
