For the last years I have been using a Loox 720 PDA with a full VGA screen (no phone). I’ve used it in my everyday work with MultiIE v3.1 as an add-on to IE in order to ease my work. I also added Wisbar Advance v2.0.1.10 to make it more Windows-like.

After bying a new HTC Touch Dual and filled it with more than 250 (and counting) of my favorite programs, tons of movies, mp3′s, new Today plug-ins and enhancements like HiCalc, Smallmenu, Mortplayer… If you still prefer your crummy Symbian “Smartphone”, then ask any business executive what OS they prefer. Yuo can only add programs to Symbian S60 but there are no way to really modify your device to whatever you nedd.

I accidentally came across this article and I can say only one thing – what a load of crap! 90% of the points is just author’s perception. Some of the points are just plain wrong, because of author’s ignorance.

I’m not defending WM, I’m actually a Microsoft hater… I love Linux. But until Linux for the phone is here (almost – Android, OpenMoko etc), I’m sticking to WM. Several years ago I had a Symbian device – SE 910a (it’s UIQ, not S60 though). It was THE MOST unstable device I’ve ever used. It would crash/reboot every day on its own! Plus Sony was not releasing any critical fixes/updates. Anyway, I switched to WM and like it, while waiting for Linux :)

hi, i did not mean to imply that you were misleading anyone.

i would argue that windows has already learned most of the lessons and implemented them into their smartphone platform (wm standard). they make two different platforms for two different users. i have owned the 9100 too, as well as the qtek s200 and to0 many other wm pocketpc phones and smartphones and while i like the added functionality of the pocketpc, i always end up hating it! i like the smartphone platform because it has a better phone experience. in saying that, my favorite phone right now is the n82, but i have started using a blackjack2 as my daytime or business phone and using the n82 for my personal time. the n82 can do everything i need it to do for my business use, but not nearly as well as the wm6 device.
