Nokia Announces 7710 PDA/GPS/Internet Phone

Nokia's internet ready/GPS/PDA ultra phone. It boasts music playing capabilities and features the Series 90 Software. Its attractiveness, and 'No side-talking' (NGage) capacity alone makes it a handy utensil."
7710 = 2 * 3 * 5 * 257
The Nokia 1100 has a built in flashlight. Will the convergence madness never end?

I guess it is obvious, but it drives home the point that the "phone" part of a cell phone really isn't the selling point anymore.
How many times have you heard this from someone:
I don't know about you, but the only reason I buy phones anymore is because I have become a hardcore gamer. Bring on the miniscule screen and crappy graphics, let's see how many fps we can crank out of this baby.
Fortunately for the integration-phobes among us, by the time the grim future of Doom III comes to pass, the technology for integrating a flashlight with another device will have been lost.

I want a pda, mostly for calendar, and having electric todo list with me. And MP3 player.
I do already have a mobile phone, and I certainly don't wan't to carry lots of different devices with me. This is single device that fits in a pocket. So its perfect for me. It does all the things I wan't plus some extra(camera), and it can replace my phone so that I don't have to carry multiple devices with me. Also it has lots of memory and big screen and downloadable developement suit so that I could actually code/port what ever I feel that its lacking, that I really need.
