Since i plan to do some Games for Pocket-PC´s and Smartphones in future, i wonder which Pocket-PC i should get? (To test my games under reallife situations).

I think here in EU most common devices use at least 400Mhz and a XScale CPU... WM2003(SE)

In Russia the most common are 300-520Mhz, wm2003SE (but 5.0 is gaining popularity). Brand HP.
But if I were you I'd take powerfull VGA PDA. Cause you'd be able to test all kinds of games for all systems, it's fully customizeble.

Hmm, at the moment i´m thinking of gettint a simple one (WM 2002/2003) and 200-300 Mhz and 64MB ram or something so that i can see how well the games perform on them ...

I think Makslane's advice is probably the average for Europe just now, as Phone Edition devices have really taken over from the traditional PDA, by far the most popular recent phone was the HTC Wizard/Prodigy (O2 MiniS, MDA Vario, iMate K-Jam, QTek 9100, etc)

Personally I'm currently using an HTC TyTN (240x320 400mhz 64MB).
