(soz when i do ahref's from this machine they dont work)

PDA sales are falling all over the world except EU, this can be attributed to the power of the mobile phones that are coming out at the moment. Seriously, i have a nokia 6600, what can the Zire's do that the 6600 cant. This phone has
Calendar,
Notepad,
Plays music,
Expandable memory,
Todo lists,
convertors,
voice recorder,
Camera (with video function)
Address list,
opera,
games,
email
the list goes on

But it uses Symbian a better OS that i can upgrade, alter and get hundreds of progreammes for.

Its a nice little bit of cheap tech but would rather have the phone (prefer a p900 though)
