"It can do a few of them things, It does tell me the details field of my calender It can run vnc client If I had a gig sd card I could use it to store mp3s."

uhh yeah, your little nokia can run a vnc client? i think not..even if it could, you're staring at a tiny little display of what 4 lines of like 12 characters per line maybe? ok. not to mention you're trying to type with a set of numbers representing letters (333 22 777 55 222 etc)

and yes, you could store mp3s (but can your phone play them?) if you had a SD card, but as you said it you don't, no interface on that phone to do it. so no you can't.

you can see contact details maybe, but again the screen is so damned small and youre scrolling constantly for every half a dozen words or so...very obnoxious too. With a pocketpc not only can you see a lot more, your desktop can automatically sync all your information from contacts, email, appointments, etc. over a cellular connection, if you've got a phone based pocketpc.

basically you're comparing apples and oranges here with your phone and a PDA phone hybrid.
