Nokia 9290 Finally Available in the US

AmyZ writes "The new Nokia 9290 Communicator has finally become available for US residents. Europe has had the 9210 for over a year now. Its a GSM based phone and well as a PDA that uses Symbian as its OS." I still don't quite feel that the PDA/Cellphone combo has come of age, but its nice to see another entry. That machine does looks to be sufficient for basic web tasks.

    Am I the only one who finds that phrase funny? To me, a 'machine' is something that, at minimum, has moving parts. My desktop PC here is a machine, it's got fans, hard drives, eject buttons... I just don't think that a completely solid-state device qualifies as a machine. Buttons don't count as moving parts!!
