Back to Windows Mobile

Okay, after a couple of months with the blackberry storm I've decided to return to the Windows Mobile world.

I know some may ask why?

The answer is quite simple...just like I grew tired of the Palm UI, I have grown tired of the storm's UI or lack of one.

I dusted off a samsung i760, turned on wifi and discontinued feeding Verizon $30 data plan. Put a data block on the line and upgraded the OS to WM 6.1, installed AIM for Windows Mobile, followed by the leaked WM 6.5 Facebook app PPCGeeks Facebook, Iconsoft PhonEX and Spb Mobile Shell.

To my surprise, Windows Mobile has come along way, everything is working together. It seems that Microsoft finally has seen the light and they seem on the right track with WM 6.5 and the soon to be released WM 7.

Now about Verizon...the WM phones to get are the Samsung Omnia, HTC Touch Diamond or the HTC Touch Pro but you will have to pay Verizon another $30 monthly for the priviledge of using data, even thou, the phones have built-in WIFI...but that is Verizon...one day they too, will see the light, just like Microsoft.
