So what features do Pocket PC's have over smartphones like the Nokia E61? I might be spoiled because I am currently using a Cingular 8125 for all sorts of things. But some people think the 8125 is too big and bulky and have asked me if there is something similar but smaller. So I found the Motorola Q and the Nokia E61. I believe the Moto Q is Windows Mobile based so it should be comparable to the 8125 right? But I know nothing about this Symbian platform and what it's devices are capable of. What I especially like the 8125 for is:

1. Music (so long iPod)
2. Movies/Videos (Episodes of Arrested Development and Entourage make the train ride to work so much easier)
3. GPS (haven't actually tried this yet, hope its as good as it seems)
4. GMail
5. WiFi
6. PocketPCaddict.com (without this site I'd have a big bulky phone with a slide out keyboard... and thats it.)

But when I do a phonescoop.com comparison between the two it seems as though this "smartphone" has almost everything the "pocket PC" has. I wouldn't want to recommend a phone that can't do the things that make the 8125 impressive.
