PDA here...

Sony Clie NX60 to be exact. But, I use the (admittedly limited) pseudo-PDA functions of my Motorola V551 phone more and more every day. I've always got it with me, it's much smaller than the PDA, and the screen has a sufficiently high resolution to be easy on the eyes. That is something my old phone (Siemens S56) didn't have going for it.

I do occasionally bring my PDA with me when I know I'll have a lot of downtime to play games, but as little as I use the datebook and addressbook, I'm better off with my phone. Besides, my PDA doesn't have a camera or bluetooth but my phone has both, and I have WAP internet wherever I have a signal. WAP is very limited, but it works with the sites I visit most: OSNews, Yahoo Mail, Google, and my bank.

The best part is, the phone syncs wirelessly via bluetooth with my new Mac, whereas I would have to plug in my PDA.
