Depends on what kind of software you want, but yes, more available for PPC than for smartphone...but if what you need is available, then no real reason to not consider the smartphone platform unless you want a bigger screen, touch-screen and stylus, and wifi...if any of those three are important for you, then consider the S200...otherwise, if the software you need is available, the 8500 is way smaller and easier to use as a one-handed device.

I have decided: I'm waiting for the Qtek 8500 to become availlable here in the Netherlands. The S200 is in stores for quite some time now, but the 8500 still isn't. Wifi was one feature I would have liked to have on my mobile device, but... it's most likely that i'll be using a "normal" laptop with wifi when a hotspot or a wireless network (home or work) is availlable. I have glanced at the mio A701 because it has a build in GPS receiver, but it's size is even larger then the S200.
Don't forget: the main function of the device is still: phone!! and second: camera, calendar, navigator etc... so the choice is: go with a phone: a smartphone that is!!
