PDA is logical and should be a given for those of us who are employed.
Don't know why you would want to have two separate places for contacts
and another for your PDA. No need to carry both devices. So this one
is not viable.
Size -- Most want small phones. Most of us have home and office
telephones and understand the definition of "mobile" means a
compromise an area somewhere. I'd bet 90%+ easily want smaller rather
than larger.
Flip Phones -- Couldn't disagree more. They keep phone size small and
also protect the screen. Invaluable to most of us who put it in their
jacket, briefcase, etc. or don't want it on their belt because it
makes us look like a custodian.
Radio -- unnecessary and completely different mechanism, especially
tuning. Nice to have but sooner see the others you don't want.
