As you've probably seen - I've got a combined phone/pda (a Kyocera  
7135 Smartphone).  I've also got a HP iPaq (mainly for porting  
software).

As much as I like the Kyocera, if I was doing it again I'd seriously  
consider a separate phone + PDA.

Re the PDA - maybe the new Nokia 770 would be of interest to you - a  
Linux based tablet device. One of my colleagues in Europe has one and  
loves it.
