For those following my 'Grid' of current day mobile computing solutions, I've added the Treo 650 and O2 XDA IIs, bringing things more up to date. The Nokia 9500 and 9300 still win by a country mile though 8-)
Grid update
This Grid is definitely a good idea. However, to make it really useful it should have the following two features:

[*]The bottom line is calculated as a simple sum of the numbers above. This is wrong. It should be done as a weighted average (meaning each line item should have a "weight"😉. For example, in the current grid the Task application is considered as important as the "size", whilst size is obviously one of the most important factors, if not the most. As a matter of fact, size is what limits the success of the 9500. A weighted average calculation in the bottom line would resolve that, and might produce a completely different winner.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

You're quite right, it's just that the grid is already quite crowded. Also, I suspect different people would think different attributes should be weighted more - everybody's different. Size isn't a big deal for me but obviously is for you. Camera quality is quite important for me but maybe you couldn't care less?
Etc!
Thanks,
