smartphones are basically advanced mobile phones.Pda's or pocket pc with integrated phone function are usually larger,more advanced(not in all cases!)the screen is usually bigger,and is touch sensitive.Pocket pc programs are more similar to PC programs.

but nwdays a lot of phones having big touch screen,office applications an above all features,no....

I have both. To use a pda as a phone is like using a tractor to go on holiday. And to use a cellphone (smart ) to write and edit documents is like using a f1 Ferarri to drive down a scenic gravell road. Yes, it can be done, but . . .

thts serious,i didnt knw tht,ha ha ha,vry gud mario,appreciated,claps.

wel bt mario,i gss pda s busines oriented device which includes phone.and smartphone s basically a phone does smart things,whch wer nt to b thought to b done by any phn,wht u say?

SO i think n95 8gb is the best smartphone available in the market or say e90.SO is there any better device like htc treo pocket pc palm or any other brand that can be used as a mobile phone inserting sim in it and is equal to full fledged pc or nearest to a full fledged pc.

MAY BE any pda which compete n95 8gb, e90 .or laptop / mini laptop which can be used as a mobile phone too and we can enjoy better bigger screen,better sound having a camera etc etc lol

Nowadays most of pda n smartph hav same technical features. but the main difference- pda (personal digital assistant) is a laptop c*m mobile phone n smartph is a mobile c*m laptop.

pda electronics n circuitr r specially fabricate to meet al technical specifications of pc or laptop. they r special type of internet access devices.they provide much higher data speed n facilities rather than smartphones

PDA r mainly designd for internet access n browing rather than using as phone.

You have a point there. The E90 is a good call because is something between a pda (ex tytn 2) and a smart phone (ex n95 8gig). Software support is very very important with such devices. Nokia played very clever by bringing out a os different from microsoft and making a success of it.

The s60 is just as popular as wm5/6 (you get just as much software without the problems) and shortly it will have a touch screen too. Nokia cleverly did not give the s60 a touch screen early on so that microsoft did not bother to 'copy and conquer' it with similar software. Now the s60 is strong enough to face wm :)

if i guess pdas r more computer oriented,and nwadays smartphones running towards or to b close to work as good as pdas do.

and also now nokia considering their nseries by calling'thats wht computers are became',how much did they come close to computer,wht u say guys?

CAN anybody confirm that pda has good camera,voip,video call(audiovideo streaming,tv output,gps,and support for maximum number of different file formats.different file format means music files,video files ,applications and softwares which are mostly and easily available on net?with all features of smartphones and laptops too?or do they lack anything? network capability they support Wimax , wifi , 3g , hsdpa,edge,gprs etc bluetooth, infrared?

ok the the ms smart phone is a pda without touch screen and dedicated keypad or qwerty keypad. old is touch screen and can have a slide out or flip qwerty keyboard. with wm6 ppc runs on wm6 professional while windows smartphones run on wm6 standard. the general standard of a ppc is that its touch screen, ppc's are normally more powerful also

pipe that was supposed to say a smartphone is has a dedicated keypad or qwerty keypad, not without. as for the question agaur asked, yes some pocket odd have most or all of the functions and file compatibilities you described. the turn II is one such device

oh and sorry for the typos im trying out a new virtual keyboard with auto correction and it seems to have changed some of my text input

AND also their ram , processor , and memory card in pda or ppc?
