   From my answer yesterday…

   Best Answer – Chosen by Asker

   Smartphone = Phone, Keyboard, No Screen input such as touch and Stylus, and No Pocket Office Applications such as Word, Excel, etc…( you can view them, but not create or edit them).

   PDA with Phone Function/Pocket PC Phone = Phone, Sometimes with a Keyboard, and Screen input, and you have Pocket Office Applications for creation, editiing, and viewing).

   PDA pretty much is a full blown Pocket PC without the phone.

   Good luck…

   A Smartphone doesn’t have a full keyboard. Both have Microsoft Mobile applications. A PDA usually has a bigger screen.
