Why Haven't You Switched To A Windows Mobile Smartphone?
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "THOUGHT" @ 05:00 PM
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy my Pocket PC. (Ok, for the sake of clarity, when I say Pocket PC, I mean my Pocket PC Phone that Microsoft is now calling Windows Mobile 6 Professional, and when I say Smartphone, I mean what MS is now calling Windows Mobile 6 Standard.) Sometimes though, I wish for the ease of use that my wife has with her T-Mobile SDA Smartphone. So, I looked at possibly switching. Well, I just can't. First of all, my number one used third party application, PocketBible 3, has a much weaker sister program on the Smartphone platform, with no notes, highlighting and lacking too many of the other features PB3 introduced.
That's not all though. There are the occasional needs for things like a terminal server client or access to my HanDBase databases. Still, applications like eReader Pro, ListPro, eWallet and many others are available on both platforms and seem to do a pretty good job on each. I've even thought about getting a Smartphone and partnering my then SIMless K-Jam with it, but now I have two devices, something I got rid of a few years ago. :? What about you? Why haven't you made the switch to the Smartphone platform?
