I don't want a tiny, lo-res screen.

I seem to change phones about every 2 years so that is a problem too. I don't want to have that expense that a convergence device would cost every 2 years.

I've found it is both convenient and clunky. I don't think Windows Mobile integrates well with a phone. To make it functional, I installed several 3rd party applications to fix basic Windows Mobile functions. I will continue to carry my Axim x51v or hx4705 and iPod. J I just purchased an XV6800.

By choosing separate devices, I can optimize the individual aspects of each device.

For a phone I require something small, can run a week or more with our recharging if I use it about 30 minutes a day and light enough that it doesn't drag my pants down :) So far, I haven't found a device that can manage both.

As for a phone, I'm using a very simple, reliable SE T637. EASY to use, good batter life, and phone calls come in clear.

But my iPod is better at music, PSP/DS are better for games, and my beloved ol' iPaq 4355 is such a great organizer / notetaker / utility player. I'd love to converge ... really I would ... but I'm in no rush. I tried moving everything to my Blackberry a few years ago, and to a ’smartphone’ more recently.
