My head says that you are probably right but my heart still stays in the
WinCE camp - Been there since my first PDA a CE v1 HP 320LX  (1997/8?).
With regard to the 3-way sync - I know your pain!

I really wanted to like it, but I found the buttons too small and hard to
read, never mind actually using them!
Also have a m8 with one which is prone to crashing even more than normal MS
operating systems :( I have an ericsson t39m at the moment, which just
keeps
going and the battery lasts about a week.
I am reluctant to go to something that needs to be recharged pretty much
every day, though the current crop of colour blah blah phones all seem to
be
like that anyway.
I don't really want a camera on the damned thing, but it seems if you want
all the other features then a camera is almost compulsory....

The XDA is too PDA-sized for me as a phone, though is smaller than phone +
Ipaq.
I've ordered the P900 now anyway as I feel completely lost without a
calendar on the go - I know I have a lot of things happening next week, but
I've no idea what or where since the ipaq is gone :( God knows when I last
backed up the ipaq & sychronisation was only set up one way (due to bad
past
experience of 3 way sync resulting in one device deciding "Oh, you
just
deleted all your contacts" and kindly propagating that to the other 2
:((),
so need something quick and will have to do a partial rebuild of calendar
>from
fridge door :-/

Cheers,

Tony
