Nokia's combination phone and personal digital assistant is shipping to stores in Europe, the handset maker announced Tuesday. A version of the so-called "9210 Communicator" is also destined for the United States. But Nokia has not set a firm date yet for shipments to North America.

The 9210 Communicator is the latest in a growing line of combination PDA-cell phones on the market. Among the first was the Smartphone from Kyocera, which Verizon Communications began selling in the United States in March.
