I was thinking P800 but I may go for the upcoming iPaq 5000 instead. The  /WiFi version will be the perfect match to the T68. Here's why:
- use the cooler-looking small form factor of the T68 for calls
- leave the PDA at home if you don't need it
- use the WiFi for fast, free Internet access at home or office
- Pocket PC has vastly broader application base than Symbian
- bigger screen, more resolution, better design on the new iPaq
- no ear smudges on the PDA screen
- no holding a brick to your head
- more developer options/support for Pocket PC OS
- it's cheaper than the P800

I would go for the iPaq over any Palm OS device. The Pocket PC 2002 OS is really more advanced. And the iPaq 5000 which will be available in December is one sweet piece of hardware. It has good looks and the Bluetooth and WiFi are built-in! Also, SD/MMC are more common than Memorystick, which is used by hardly anyone other than Sony. Just my opinion of course.

dwin_888, no it doesn't. I guess if you pair it with your T68 you could use the CommuniCam. I use a dedicated DigiCam but it doesn't have so it isn't really integrated.

Well I'm quite happy with my T68i and Palm m505. All I need is a bluetooth SD card. Yes, the advantage is having a tiny phone with you and you can leave the (also not-so big) PDA at home when you don't need it (say, Friday nights' clubbing).
Would go for the Tungsten and its 320x320 screen and BT, but I hate the slide. Would go for an iPAQ but they're ugly and power-hungry. Would go for a Sony Clié but I don't like memorysticks, don't really like the design. Don't need multimedia- got the MP3 player on the phone (at least that way I can hear incoming calls).
So-- it's a practical solution and a matter of taste. For now, I'm sticking with the grey T68i and brushed aliminium M505. Small, lightweight, does-it-all combination.
Does somebody have a SD BT card for sale cheap?

Go for the P800. It has everything under one roof just like shopping malls. All in one phone/PDA'S are the future.

do you want all your data in one device? having 2 devices, one can be the back up of the other for phone book and calendar records when you're mobile. of course there can always be a back up of data in your pc or laptop
