For business men/women. Emailing, writing notes, organizing schelude and stuff.

I had a 8125 and I have to say pocket pc are great. Really helps your get organize and I used microsoft word on my pocket pc alot to take notes during classes. But since I got a laptop I had no need for it and sold it. Also it was abit bunky.

what do you mean by bunky. it just looked cool to me. i'm not going to go and buy one if that's what anyone's thinking. i just thought it was kind of nice to have a mini-pc with you wherever you go without taking the actual load with you.

Try fitting the 8125 into your pocket. They give you a holster but it looked retarded on me.

smart phones are also more customizable, design your own themes, change fonts etc~ Its a lot easier to access the internet, and you have other applications depending on the other functions of the phone. It IS cool to have a pc in your pocket

Why LG Shine? Camera may be good with Schneider-Kreuznach lens, but I think n73 hands down if you can pay for it... Whens the n73 music edition suppose to come out?

How much is the Shine? Oh never mind, GSM version isn't even out yet. By the beginning of 07, N95 should be out!

I was really thinking of grabbing a w950... Maybe I'll switch over to T-mobile next year.

korean phones are just better, even though the functions are crippled, the UI and everything just owns.
all my friends that have korean phones says its worth it. I compared the anycall SCH-B630 to my D600, theyre the same appearence wise, but the functions of that phone blew the d600 out of the water. I can get a LG shine for $400.

N73 music edition should be out now, if not by december.
