Differences between PDA & Smartphone

PDA & Smartphone devices

The market for PDAs that won't let you call but only use email and visit the Internet decreased drastically. Most current PDAs are handheld computers that also offer the option to call. Smartphones on the other hand are primary meant for calling but are more and more used for all kinds of business like keeping an electronic agenda, photographing, music and Internet. Nokia's smartphones indicate clearly how much attention Nokia paid to the manner of using the device for calling. PDA calling functions work just a tad more difficult but on the other hand it is easier to manage incoming and outgoing mail. These are the differences between Symbian and Windows Mobile explained in a nutshell. So it is not surprising Nokia as a cell phone manufacturer holds on to Symbian.
