"Smart Moves" is this year's theme of the Nokia Mobility Conference (http://www.nokia.com/nmc2004) in Monaco, where Nokia also unveiled its Nokia 7710 widescreen multimedia smartphone (http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,65385,00.html). Finally Nokia has stepped across the line and entered PDA territory with its new phone!

The 7710 is Nokia's first handset featuring a screen that lets users access functions with a stylus, pitting it against PDA rivals such as PalmOne. In addition, the handset can also function as a souped-up smart phone, featuring a digital camera, radio, Internet browser and music player, using the Symbian OS. Specs:

- 8x4 cm 65,536-color wide screen with pen input
- handwriting recognition
- HTML browser supports Flash 6
- up to 90 MB internal memory, 128 MB MMC card
- megapixel camera (1152x864 pixels)
- music player with stereo audio
- audio and video playback and streaming
- FM/Visual Radio

The 7710 will be available in Asia later this year and in Europe and Africa early in 2005, Nokia said. It's priced at €500 (US $638).

Sounds like a "smart move" to me, even though I haven't had experience with Symbian OS (yet).
