PDA advantages and disadvantages: +You can surf the internet with pictures. -You can't talk like you would on a regular phone. (Some PDAs do allow this, though, such as the IPaq) +Camera, and maybe recording of videos. +You can insert memory chips with data so you can tranfer it to and from your PDA. -You have to pay for phone service and IM service. (If the PDA supports it, and sometimes you don't) +Touch screen support. -Rough setup screens. (Or that's just me) +Can play music. +You can run it like a computer, with programs to make you feel like you're right at home using your computer. Phone advantages and disadvantages: +Bluetooth support. (If supported) -You have to pay for service. +Slimer design than a PDA. (Depends, really) -You can search the internet, but it doesn't really show pictures or like a regular website, just plain text. +Camera and video recording. +Usually cheaper than a PDA. -Sometimes can become useless if there's no service. -Can't play music, only ringtones. (Unless it's a LG Chocolate phone, or any phone that supports it) -/+A lot of services to choose from, with alot of advantages and disadvantages, but sometimes can get annoying when choosing. That's about all I can name. All in all, I'd recommend you go with a PDA, but it's really your choice, not ours.
