"Laptop? Laptop? We don't need no stinking laptop!"
Pros: WiFi!!!, great keyboard, fabulous screen for web, every program you could want
Cons: A little slow and need some tech savvy, as Nokia doesn't support in the US
Summary: This device is now my brain. In addition to being a complete PDA, it has a word processing, spreadsheet and a presentation program. The phone is great, good sound quality and of course has email/SMS and you can IM with third party software. BUT -- Nokia hasn't offically released this device in the US (what the dealers are selling you is the world phone version without the 850 band) and won't support it here, so you need to be reasonably adventureous if you're buying in the US. There are four forums in particular you should visit if you need help, howardforums.com, allaboutsymbian.com, my-symbian.com and 9500communicator.com -- all of them have forums dedicated to Series 80 Nokia 9500/9300 phone. But you can't upgrade the firmware here, so make sure you're getting the 4.5 firmware version when you buy the device. With that caveat, it is the best marriage of a phone and pda I've every seen.
