Why is saying the OS is horrible a meaningless comment? It is true, and isn't the iPhone proving that by inventing a new OS that does things a better way, is revolutionizing how phones are used? Isn't the OS the guts to the phone? You also wouldn't hear me say the BB OS is more stable, since I have zero stability issues with the Windows Mobile OS, including all the extra software that I install and use that are not available on the BB. Sorry, but I believe that the Windows Mobile devices are superior with more companies providing innovation, and the OS is superior, and the apps available are superior. I certainly wouldn't say they are a POS, since they offer so much more. When will BB ever come out with a different form factor than the same ole? The scroll wheel is sweet though, I will give them that.
Well Ben, that just goes to show what you know. BBConnect on a Windows Mobile device provides the ability to use a Windows Mobile device with a BES. Does BB even make a phone with EVDO in it? I don't think so, and since Windows Mobile devices have so much more functionality, why use a BB or even prefer a BB over Windows? The BB OS is horrible, and the devices are finally coming out with camera's, wifi, and media players which we have had on Windows Mobile devices for years...
I live in a suburb outside of Denver, very remote with lots of old Ponderosa Pine trees. The reception at my house is spotty and I use my home WIFI all the time to sync my 8525. I use the WIFI every day, and it is a requirement for all future phones.
Cingular beats all the competition when it comes to the number of Windows Mobile devices released. With the currently released 8125, 2125, 3125 and the much anticipated 8525 and SGH i607, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint don't compare. In my opinion, they are leading the pack bringing the top Windows Mobile devices to market.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
