I always said that only those preached so pathetically on the iPhone side who never ever had really used a wm-phone. Thing is, it's closed, but it's fairly easy to develop for it (sdk and emulator is available for free and it's no rocket science to get used to it all), and there are so many apps for wm-based phones that numbers can't describe. And there are very many decent, pretty and even posh-looking phones with wm on them, which means one has quite a broad choice possibility. That said, I am looking forward to having an Android-based phone, but from what I see currently, I'd rather wait for a G2 (or whichever name will the next iteration be called). untlil then I stay with wm.

I have an HTC Windows Mobile 6.0 smartphone/PDA (MDA Compact III), and while Windows Mobile is not nearly as slick as iPhone's OS, it works like charm. It has NEVER crashed on me, doesn't lose connection, and you can do everything with it, because thee are ten billion million applications out there, and through the .cab system, you can easily manage them too. It has GPS, so I have TomTom Navigator, it has WiFi, BlueTooth, etc. etc. etc. And it was free too, because I added 2yrs to my contract. It's not as sexy as the iPhone, but at least it's actually <i>my</i> phone. I was drooling all over the iPhone too, but the time between the 3G release and now cured me pretty darn good.
