If the Pre can come with something to challenge this conception, I will buy one as soon as the system isn't linked with Sprint anymore (I think we can all agree that Sprint Nextel should go the GM route and give up…).

In addition, the OS on the Pre is WebOS, new from the ground-up. Word is that it is what iPhone OS should have been from the beginning.

The point is I haven't synced my iPhone for months, but I haven't missed anything because of it, because I can get whatever I want online.

Also, yes, the Fuze does have superior screen resolution, but the phone is also very slow and laggy (read any review you like to get a second opinion). The glacial movements of these "HD" screens won't be overcome by ANY phone until manufacturers decide to pay the extra $0.50/phone for newer ARM licenses and bulk the power up, or add additional chips for each high power requirement…which would kill the battery. Give and take.

Anyway, the iPhone's screen is gorgeous for a cell phone. This comes from someone who has owned an 8525, Exec (640×480), Pantech Duo, Blackjack II, and an HP 6515 (PPC 03 Second Edition). I currently own a Dash (wow, what garbage, but it is company-paid) and an iPhone. I have used Crackberries for previous jobs. Even with it's shortcomings, I won't convert from the iphone for some time to come.

MS Active Sync and Sync center are both disasters. Sync center being the greater offender, both drop connections randomly and partnerships are regulalry lost. The relationship between the devices and the my doc's folder requires users to have separate partnerships for separate user logons which would be fine if AS or SC supported more than two partnerships per device. Frequent hard resets are par for the course and data loss is so common that we had to write replication into our software that is absurdly redundant and a serious drain on system resources.

I was sad to see that palm went with winmo, I was hoping for some real competition for my Iphone so I could get off of AT&T.

I pay the extra $4 a month for insurance. When the screen of my Touch Pro got smashed to bits I paid $50 to get a new phone sent to me overnight.

You may not want to pay extra for insurance, but I like to at least have that option.

I tried the Iphone last year, and did not like it. The onscreen keyboard was iffy and hard to type accurately on. So, I need a better keyboard or an additional keyboard like the PRE has. I'd also like a larger screen, 4-1/2-5 inches. This would help with all the features and especially with the squished on screen keyboard.

Additionally, I want a PDA that you can write program for in perl, php, C, or whatever I choose. The phone also must be capable of handling java applets because my stock acct program and others requires this, though I don't like java personally.

Finally, the phone should have a corrective lens like old VHS cameras use to have. That way we could adjust the screen so that we could see the screen display clearly without having to wear glasses or contact lenses.

If someone makes this for less than $300, I'll be the first in line to buy it.

The question must be answered: if WinMO 2003 is so powerful, why didn't developers flock to it in droves? Capability means nothing if it's not exploited. Having 25,000 apps is measurable progress. Arguing capability for an OS that's never used that capability means nothing. Software offerings are paltry under every mobile OS except Apple. The newest development for the iPhone OS is to use it as an interface to devices, like that one that will measure blood sugar. Is WinMO ahead here too? Then where are its products?
