1. Bigger screen than smartphones 2. More power than smartphones 3. More storage space than smartphones 4. Cheaper price than smartphones. 5. No "just gimme yer soul fer a coupl'a years" agreement. 6. No crippling of features or design dictations by bloodsucking telecommunications companies.
This device will pair with any bluetooth phone for your bigscreen web browsing experience. For people like me, this is great, because my cell phone was a freebie and I pay a pittance for a small number of minutes per month. I have no interest in selling bodily fluids in order to pay for unlimited monthly data, since I already get that for free from wi-fi in the majority of places I go. Compare the price of this to a smartphone with the same specs with no service agreement. Wait, there isn't one, and if there was, I guarantee you it'd be over a thousand bucks.
Besides, a lot of places, such as the military base where half my town works, don't allow any device with a cellular transceiver. Damned annoying to have to leave your appointments, email, ebooks, and bookmarks in your car every day during work.

But this iPAQ 210 isn't that unique. The Dell X50v had similar specs years ago. But it is nice for someone who prefers a separate PDA and small phone.
