Recent news has covered the release of many new smart phones. We have the new Treo650, the new Sony P910, the new Audiovox PPC 6000, the new Blackberry 7100, and the new Nokia 6670. Recently, I've been speaking via email almost daily with my AT&T (now Cingular) rep. For some reason, the conversation always steers towards his wanting to push the latest from Nokia, Blackberry, etc.

hello everyone
I have used Nokia 6600 and SonyErricsson P800 (I only use myself Nokia 6610i as I feel that students really don't need smart phones)
But however I can say that Symbian OS is much more tightly integrated, however is somewhat vulnarable (recent virus threats prove that) Also Symbian has lots of free software available (which is opposite to what author has said) however it is spread wide accross web which palm softwares can be found at one place, however my experience with Palm software (I was using old PalmIIIxe for a while) is that almost 50% of software is free & 50% is commercial.
Also this side of world in Asia PalmOS, Microsoft Windows Mobile Edition based phones are almost inexistant (only Motorola makes 'em that to very expensive) which Treo are non-existant here.
So for smart phones the only real & affordable option is Symbian based phones.
