Comment Re:The last vestage of Psion (Score 1) 78
I'm pretty happy with my N97 mini (slide-out QWERTY keyboard). I just wish Opera wouldn't crash every so often (phone runs out of memory).
The Psion was pretty cool back in the day, even the second-hand monochrome one I had was useful, but I think it's a stretch to generalise that smartphones aren't that good as PDAs.
Finally, there's no alternative to having a compromise one-for-all device. Who wants to carry separate devices? Besides which the functionality all does interact (contacts - phone, file system/viewer - camera, web browser - network connectivity, etc.) We just need further improvement of designs and software. They are not that great at a given function? That may be true for individual features on particular phones (i.e. in general) but I do not accept that you cannot find some devices that excel at some of the functions despite having the kitchen sink.
