If you don't want to wait, get the iPAQ 210 + N95 combo - if you don't mind taking two devices with you. It's just an unbeatable duo much-much more versatile, faster, more powerful etc. than the 9502.
The N95 does - actually, it's much smaller and lighter than the 9502 (see my comparaqtive shot above, where I've directly compared the size of the two phones). And you can put the 210 on your shirt pocket without problems.

It all boils down to whether you're ready to keep two devices with you. If you are, then, there're much better choices than the 9502. In my humble opinion, that is.

The device really does not look very smart at all, hoever ther spec sheet will make anyone who bought the kaiser for $900USD be quite upset. Although it only had TV out and a VGA screen on the Kaiser, those are two high demand features and in combination make the device quite formidable

If you wanted two devices, why would you even be thinking of the 9502, or any other"convergence" device? In that case what you need is go-anywhere (i.e. small) phone which excels for communications, and a larger multimedia add-on for when you have the opportunity/need to enoy it.

The N95 in no way fits the former category. The battery life sucks, it's unstable, fragile, and it's far too fat and heavy to share a pocket with a PDA, even when you're a cargo pant/fishing waistcoat wearing geek. Much rather an E51 which is solid peformer and brilliant phone (virtually an E90, and a worthy replacement for the ubiquitous 6310) in a super slim and narrow package.

Then perhaps an N800/810 for the big screen stuff. Blows the HP away, more fun, and it's an open platform under constant (and open source) development, rather than the "we've had your money, sod off" attitude of HP. Hell, unlike most other manufacturers, HP have already said you won't be able to upgrade to WM 6.1 on their "brand new" device. So much for paying a premium for big name in-life "support"!

The reason I recommend the iPAQ 210 (or the hx4700) that much is mostly because their price, which is (at most) half of the 9502 (particularly if you get the hx4700 off eBay for, say, $200).

Netnerd, I notice your spelling and grammar mistakes... I almost never make mistakes on my kaiser keyboard

u get what u pay for! a mercedes on average cost 80000$, are u going tell people to stay away from mercedes and get a japanese or american car that costs less than 25000? this message was created on imate 9502, I have no problems with the keyboard, it' perfect for me. my ONLY complain about 9502 is the external button, power button at the corner, it' much easier to press if it in the middle/center. ok, wireless button, or note, camera button, they too close together; sometime I have to look to make sure I got the right button.

The only thing you have over me is the VGA screen. MY screen tilts, and I have HSPA too :

PLUS my device looks nice

The hx4700 (210) + N95 (N82; or the E51 if you don't need that good a camera) combo is just far more powerful and versatile than the 9502 and still costs less. The only downside is the need fo carrying two devices instead of one and the lack of EDR with the Nokia phones, which results in an in-practice maximal Internet download speed of about 72 kbyte/s. Otherwise, the combo works just great.

The 9502 is just too overpriced for what it's offering - this is my point.

my point is i want something that fits in my jean pocket! i willing to get hx4700 + N95 if u willing to carry the purse everywhere i go!

I fear the 9502 will have the same future as the O2 XDA Flame or the Toshi G900 - read: no real bugfixes, upgrades etc.).

How easy is the keyboard to use ie similar to the wizard or the Universal?
Not a bad looking device though.

maybe manufactures dont bother to support O2 XDA flame or Toshi G900 cus it only got 2100mzh 3G, no USA 3G!
it doesnt sell much cus only countries with 2100mzh 3G will buy it.

OK, I didn't know you don't have a shirt pocket for a stand-alone PDA Then, of course, the converged way is the way to go. (It's another question whether it's really worth going, but I won't debate on that I fear the 9502 will have the same future as the O2 XDA Flame or the Toshi G900 - read: no real bugfixes, upgrades etc.).

it' all about convenience these days! i used to carry Dell X50v with 3.7" VGA and plain regular nokia cellphone! everytime i want to check emails or surf internet, i have to turn on bluetooth on the nokia! and when i finish checking emails or internet, i have to turn off bluetooth again on the nokia! i also have a bluetooth gps, when i want to use gps. i have to turn on pda and turn on bluetooth gps!
now with Imate 9502, i can do all those
