Frank McPherson got to spend some quality time with an MS SmartPhone:
When I first heard about Smart Phones I thought they were the ultimate device for me, but now after having used a Pocket PC Phone Edition for a period of time, I know that Phone Edition is perfect for me. Smart Phones are cool, but I don’t see how they can be used for any type of data manipulation. In short Smart Phones are phones and certainly not a PDA replacement, at least not for me.
I think that smart phones will replace PDAs for casual users. For most PDA buyers, mobile access to Outlook data is the killer app, not data entry. For these people, myself included, smart phones will be better than PDAs because they replace something we already carry.
