I'm still working on the post where I vent my disappointment with Palm. Sure the Treo 650 is better than the 600, and I loved that mobile. But the times are a changin', and Palm just isn't moving fast enough. I'm starting to doubt they can bring their OS into the 21st century. No, scratch that, I'm in full doubt mode already.
But where does that leave us? It leaves us with Symbian (Nokias, Sony/Ericcson, etc.) and Microsoft (Pocket PC) at the moment. I guess I will have to take a look at these. Of course I am extremely prejudiced against Microsoft (maybe that is silly, but I need to have some beliefs) but their OS seems to be on the best mobile offerings here in the U.S. at the moment.
Witness the new mobile from Verizon: the XV6600. Damn. This is the first phone available on Verizon's EV-DO high speed network (previously they have only been selling wireless PC Cards for notebook data access on this network.) In short, if you live in a place that has EV-DO coverage (NYC, check) this is what you want. And the XV6600 looks to be very powerful. No camera (I guess that is too unbusiness-like,) but everything else makes me jealous. I wish I could play with one for a few days to get a feel for how the Microsoft OS stacks up.
