My Sony Ericsson P910i has been my PDA now for almost four years. It's not as good as my Psions were before it (UIQ has some Palm-like quirks), but I replaced the default character scribbler (Jot) with Decuma Alphabetic, which is pretty decent for short entries, and all has been well enough.

Symbian has this in common with EPOC: It's extremely robust, handles tough loads intelligently and allows for very lightweight applications. I largely like it.
