    who cares abt WM ? some lame users buy it.

    The Toshiba TG01 Windows Mobile phone runs at 1000 Mhz, so thats one item that is wrong.

    Next the Samsung Omnia ships with 16 GB built-in storage + microSD expansion, so thats another item you have wrong.

    Thirdly, the Samsung Omnia 2 does have video editing - thats just software after all.

    Lastly, Windows Mobile does come with updates. They are called Adaptation Kits, like service packs, and the most recent one 6.1.4 brought IE6 to Windows Mobile 6.1. They are provided as ROM updates by the OEM, and in the early stages of a device's release are quite frequent.

    iPhone rocks!
    BTW, Palm Pre will add video recording may be in their 3rd firmware update
    .
    @Surur
    WM updates are different. they are patches for bugs not much improvements unlike iPhone, so author is correct.

    @Ravin,

    As mentioned, AKU's also bring features, like A2DP in WM5 and IE6 in WM 6.1.4

    You should really get a WM person to write that side, as its clear you are not very knowledgable about WM.

    WM does have built-in search, an app called, stangely enough, Search, which searches contacts, calender, e-mail, word, excel, notes, files and help files.

    Also, with the Pre having 30 apps, how is it a better gaming platform that Windows Mobile, with thousands of games? With a javascript-based programming language, games are the least priority on WebOS.

    I hope you start correcting the wide-spread errors soon.

    @Surur @Ravin
    WM is decent platform, nothing to hate about it.
    yes its very unpopular after iPhone is out.

    Palm pre is a better platform for gaming compared to a TYPICAL WM phone. A typical WM phone is <400MHZ (in fact 95% of WM phones falls under this category). Highends are still very rare in current market.
    Try using Pre SDK with the simulator, the kind of Powerful API and diagnostics (with detailed performance profiling) it gives to the user, developing a game is Slick!
    on the other hand MS never did a good SDK for WM. It has basic profiling and a fair SDK.
    Ofcourse iPhone 3.1 SDK is most advanced yest, and thnx to openGL, it has gone further.

    @Ravin - about 20 million people last year - more than who bought the iPhone in 2008.

    Thats who cares.

    Do you specialize in being ill-informed?

    @TaranFX - I would challenge you to find a HTC phone released in the last 2 years which ran at less than 400 Mhz, and in the last year which ran less than 500.

    All HTC's recent line ran at 528 Mhz (Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, Fuze, Diamond 2, Touch Pro 2 etc). The Samsung Omnia runs at 624 Mhz, and the new Samsung Omnia 2 at 800 Mhz.

    Thanks Surur!! You said all what I wanted to say and more!

    The reason I'm still a WM user is applications I can't live without! Toss that in your mind.
