Here are my reasons for liking my WM5.0 Device rather then an Apple Iphone.
1st: Apple is not supporting ANY 3rd party software at the moment. Who the fuck wants to run ONLY Apple software.
2nd: Verizon / Sprint both make use of TRUE 3G tech. giving EV-DO Capability up to 2.4mbps (and you can tether your laptop via bluetooth for connectability anywhere). Cingular's Iphone device uses the EDGE network which is slow as fuck... generally 50-75k throughput.
3rd: Terminal Services. You can login to your windows PC and remotely control it. I NEED this, and I'm positive an Apple product wouldn't let me use it.
Windows Mobile 2003 was OK, but 5.0 is incredible. It's stable, its fast, its got a huge support base. Personally, I didnt like the Treo either, screen was too small and the keyboard was cramped
I own a Samsung I730 and I love it... You can use SlingBox to watch 2.4mbps stream of TV on your PDA, Native support for MSN Apps, Voice Recognition dailing, NATIVE MS Office Suite, expansion slots via SD slots, GPS software.
Yeah i could go on and on, but IMO WM5 > IPhone

plus we won't see it (Cingular only, our minneapolis dwellers will be able to but not the local F-M residents)
Who wants Cingular though, that is the problem I for see personally. Cingular would be a last resort for me, last time I had checked there plans were ridiculously high for what you get, that was also about a year ago... -
My Q has been OK as I just use it for mobile email/contacts. I don't think I really need the windows mobile capabilities.

I just need something to sync live exchange and to use TS (as jim stated, it is extremely nice) just so I can RDP into some of the boxes at work and make some changes...
I just don't want a buggy POS
as for your statement Jim, trust me I agree with you 100% I don't like the iPhone either for the main reason you stated (Apple only software) - but I just want to find something decent - until then my POS LG will have to do (good thing I didn't sell this when I got my treo)

You can't run a terminal server client from the Q. It runs smartphone 2003.
