Point well taken. I don't understand the push for sub-mega pixel cameras that take up battery life and space. The only reason my phone has a camera is because it has all the other features I want. I could lose the phone and not worry about it.
Looks about the same as the Tungsten T3, though a little bit more stylish I suppose.
Not true. The OS and resolution are the same. The proc is considerably less speedy and it has half the ram. The T3 has 64 megs of ram (52 usable) and it's absolutely spacious. Also, the T3 has mac compatibility out of the box.

Well, I don't know about how the CPUs stack up (higher clocked Xscale vs the lower clocked Sony's), but that was my main point. The T3 has practically everything the Clie has, and its been out for months already.

Gotcha. We actually agree on something!! Two things, actually. Wow. I never thought this day would come.
PDA's are finally starting to look like usable note-taking devices.
*cough* wifi *cough*

Yes I have a suggestion, buy the Treo 600. Don't write off something you have never tried, it took me about three days to get used to it but it is fantastic. Palm and phone combined and it syncs perfectly with the mac. Lots of applications, tons of support but ... no blue tooth yet. There is a rumour of a Treo 610 with blue tooth and a higher res screen, but it's a rumour so i have no idea if it is true.
The GSM version is quad band so it should work just about everywhere. My only complaint is that the ring tones need to be higher pitched to be heard over longer distances.
My big drawback is the lack of a 5 way directional button. But that's minor. Also there are rumors of a highend version of the TH series.

I wouldn't really mind having a seperate phone, I can get a smaller phone than what I carry currently, and bluetooth sync might let me use my phone as the mobile web link for both my laptop and my PDA. Personal area network indeed.

I'd love to see some PDA maker combine this with a 1-1.8" HDD, as mentioned, and really good handwriting recognition, and a good voice recorder. Natural language dictation is inconsequential, it'd just be more useful for me to have a voice recorder for meetings and interviews. Right now I rumage about for a pad and a tape recorder. If I get a digital recorder, recording/storage time is still limited, and I still have to carry about an agenda/notepad.

The T3 has a pretty good voice recording capabilities and you can save to an SD card. The limitation in this situation is obviously battery life. A HDD would be cool but it would come at the cost of already valuable and too scarce "time away from a plug".
As far as the bluetooth phone/pda/computer goes, you're absolutely right... I love it. I have my T3 check my email without any intervention or having to find a wireless hotspot. It's cool.
