Potential X50/X51 buyers: please read!

I have had several PDA's most of them windows mobile devices of some kind and all of them had there own problems.

I am not buying anymore pure PDA's. There are some good products, multifunction products combining PDA, phone, pager,email client, etc coming out in the nect couple of years. Acer is one brand to watch.
I think the PDA is being phased out, I do not think there will be another PDA from Dell, there may some sort of smartphone, but no x52v. A guess on my part, no concrete evidence that I know of, but no more PDA's for me.

I've tried several phone-PDAs including the K-JAM WM5 device from iMate and several Symbian devices, and have always gone back to a two piece solution, currently a Dell Axim X51v and a Nokia 6230. bluetooth works fine between these two.

The functionality, size, or performance were always lacking in some way with the multi-function devices. They may get there in the future, but there's always going to be the trade-off between size and screen real estate. My current solution gives me a small but reliable phone and a large VGA screen. I also find the X51v the most reliable and powerful PPC so far.

I do like the look of the Sony-Ericsson P990, but am concerned I will be disappointed again with its compatibility or functionality.
