PC Magazine's Bruce Brown takes a look at the two phones available in North America. This is the paragraph that changes this from a run-of-the-mill review to something I actually wanted to pay attention to:"Don't confuse Smartphone-based devices with PDA/phone combos (such as the Treo 600), which are based on either the Palm or Microsoft Pocket PC operating systems. Smartphones are not PDAs but rather very smart phones that happen to play multimedia files, work beautifully with Outlook (retrieving e-mail wirelessly), and more."
That's great. I'm not seeing very many people in the press show that they really understand the difference in scope between a Smartphone and a PDA-based phone. Hopefully, more people will begin to understand.
