PDA cell phone combinations are becoming increasingly popular. These hybrids combine the best of all worlds in what is called a smartphone. A PDA cell phone is the ideal handheld for the business professional that is traveling light and needs high technology, fast connectivity and all the tools of a mobile office at his or her fingertips. And it does wonders for your ‘street cred’ too. The argument in favor of creating this PDA cell phone combination is that the line between their technical specifications has blurred over the years – cell phones need an OS (operating system) to work and PDAs are increasingly featuring wireless connectivity. There is really no answer to the question of whether a smartphone is a PDA with a cell phone or a cell phone with integrated PDA features. It’s neither; it’s a hybrid with a name of its own. When buying a PDA cell phone, you need to look at whether you will actually be reaping the benefits of both hardware devices. For instance, smartphones require a keyboard or ‘thumbboard’ to operate the PDA, and an antenna, speaker and microphone to operate the cell phone. This means that PDA cell phones can be heavier and bulkier than if you bought a cell phone and PDA separately. Because smartphones are inevitably tied up with one particular cell phone carrier, if you are dissatisfied with the carrier, the entire package has to be replaced, rather than just the phone. On the positive side, a PDA cell phone combination gives you greater flexibility and a whole lot more features in one smart package that usually costs less. In an effort to market the newest devices, most manufacturers also offer incredible upgrades, add-ons and accessories, so the chances are you’ll be able to hang on to it for longer.
