And are still available (C1000/C3200).

Not much. There are Bluetooth cards that do not even stick out and a
WLAN card add less than 1cm.

With what do you compare? With QVGA models without keyboard?

If I compare with e.g. an Acer n30 it is half as thick but has 90% of  
the
area. But only one SD slot. No CF. No additional battery, No clamshell,
no keyboard.

There is IMHO only one community: www.oesf.org and there are still
enough users out there. And, there are tons of pages found by Google.

I still do not have seen any QWERTY PDA that is really better (the  
N810 may be).
