But honestly, why would anyone carry two devices (mobile phone, organizer) when the Sidekick (or another similar device) offers the functionality of both?
I can tell you why I carry two devices rather than one: I'm terrified of losing my contact and calendar information. I live and breathe, during the working week, with my palm nearby. I've had my PDA break on me in the past, and it's a near disaster until I can get it replaced.
Cellphones and multifunction devices are generally pretty fragile and given the amount of use they get, don't have great life spands. For me, if I had a combo device and got bumped on the subway or what have you, leading to a broken device, I'd not just be without my phone as without my appointment book, address book, essential files etc.
I carry two devices in order to make sure I only lose either the phone or the contact list, but not both.
