No one here ever said one or the other was perfect.
Now, your other points:
1. If you've never had to soft-reset your Palm, that's pretty impressive. I had to reset even my Palm III back in the day, and I've seen modern units spontaneously crash and require soft resets fairly often. (And, on the other hand, I rarely soft-reset my Pocket PC -- usually once or twice a month.) You may want to look more closely at the applications you're running on each, as they tend to have a far greater effect on stability.
2. If you look at the latest specs, battery life on the two platforms is nearly identical, across-the-board.
That said, let's keep this from being another cookie-cutter Palm vs. Pocket PC discussion. I think many of us would like to see Palm succeed, if for no other reason than to give WM competition. However, their strategy seems to be confused. I'm not sure getting rid of Nagel is going to help; what little I saw of him at a CeBIT keynote suggested he was reasonably clueful (compared to, say, Carl & predecessors.)
