Dear Chess Friends !

I was thinking to buy a Pocket PC or Palm for my business. Because I wasn’t
familiar with both units, I investigated a market here in Melbourne trying to
find the most suitable portable computer for my conditions. I am going to use it
50% for my business and 50% for chess. Also, my 2 year contract with the local
phone company expires very soon and I am going to choose another mobile phone.
But yesterday I found a very short article in the Australian Computer magazine
about so called Smart Phones. The author briefly describes some of the smart
phone units and gives his own opinion about them. And the prices for them starts
from around AUS $700 to $1600.
My question is – does anyone here have a smart phone and he can share his
experience with us ? How good is it to receive phone calls and to play chess?
Are you happy with its performance ? Are they compatible with the latest mobile
chess programs, such as Fritz or Chess Tiger? Are these chess programs play so
good as they do on Palm or Pocket PCs ?
I think no one here has shared his experience with smart phone yet. I would
appreciate your advise or a story.

Best wishes

Anatoli Sirota
