a little keyboard pops up on the bottom of the screen you type by using the stylus (pen thing) and hitting the letter/number you want on screen its very easy to use and to adapt to, and a millions times better than the shitty symbian software nokia runs.
You can also get bluetooth keypads if you want.
The sheer volume of software avalible for poket pc is worth the phone purchase in its self tbh.

I sold my XDA IIs to get an N95.
I think the XDA IIs is slightly bigger than the orbit, but had a keypad. There is a lot of software, but unles you're going to use all the functions it's pointless IMO.
Since gettin the replacement N95 i'm very happy with it. Top phone and you'll be hard pushed to beat the camera quality on any other phone/pda.

ame advice as a friend gave, said you don't end up using half the stuff so there is no point. I think i'll take the advice.

Plus, the N95 will open PDF's, office documents, email, etc just like the pda would.
Plus, I prefer my phones to be pocket size

....one more point, the browser on the N95 is a billion times better than it was on the xda
Works on CS ace and will also play the flash applets, something the XDA didnt.

I realise there's lots of apps, etc that can do many wonderous things. My point was more about it being ready to go out of the box
