After an 18-month attempt at living with Windows Mobile (5 and 6) I finally tossed my hands up and bought a Centro.
No WiFi, no UMTS, no 3G.
But it works 10^9 times better than the horror that is Windows Mobile.
Fast response, few buttons, no stylus necessary, push from any IMAP server with IDLE, type one-handed while walking through airport, etc.
Considered the iPhone but no cut/paste is absurd IMHO and I couldn't master one-handed "typing" and syncing with linux is currently not possible.
Maybe blackberry was a rout to consider (SyncML to scheduleworld to linux), but all the smaller models have that hybrid qwerty bastardization.
So three days into a Palm Centro I'm retro and happier than ever. Kills windows and much, much better than my old Treo 650 from 2 years ago.
Something like this OS with WiFi and UMTS would be the end all.
