I know somebody who loves smartphones. He had some of the old Handspring Treos. When Palm brought the Treo 650, I believed that he would migrate from his Treo 600. But then he bought an Sony Ericsson with Symbian/UIQ. I think he wasn’t too happy with it because his next device should be a Treo 650 he was very content with.
But one day he told me at Skype that he ordered a Windows Mobile smartphone (HP). He wanted a bigger display, to use all his Windows apps and to have his well-known Windows interface. Four weeks later I saw him again. He was very unhappy with his new phone. It was very very slow, the one-hand navigation was bad and the interface was difficult to use. What he didn’t like, too, was the calendar. He even bought an additional calendar software, but he didn’t like it and it was yet slower. He dreamed of his good Treo 650, with a switcher for vibration alarm, the good one-hand-navigation, the clear interface…. The calendar use is easy, there is a good agenda view, and then the MemoPad and the good outlook synchronisation. He told me that he doesn’t want Agendus or something, he just wants Palm OS.
Do you have Windows Mobile experiences?

Sure I have. Two weeks ago I sold my Ipaq 2410 with just a few months use, witout a regret. I´m happy with my TungstenC which is only five months old… although the model first hit the stores in 2003!
I guess I´m a power user but, while the 2410 is a powerful machine and there´s a lot of things you can do with it, It´still buggy and slow when compared to a TC. And in the end, what matters most is not how many different things a machine can potentially do, but how many of these things can be accomplished efficiently. And for the last three years PPC’s have been unable to beat the TC on that.
BTW, for the last few years my main alarm clock has been a Palm Powered device, even during the periods when my main PDA was a PPC.
