If it doesn't, we have to learn to live with it. Otherwise, you might as well go back to a basic Nokia cell phone and carry around a Dayplanner. It might not be technologically advanced, but it'll do its job. I for one believe that you're just very hard to please and you might never be satisfied.

I think you may have missed the point. We all understand that nothing is ever going to be perfect, but with the number of Windows Mobile devices already manufactured, we have a very wide range of options when you put all of their features together. I seems that none of these manufacturers are taking notes on what the consumer wants. Palm's Treo 700w is a perfect example. While 32MB of RAM may be plenty in a Palm OS device it isn't enough for many on a Windows Mobile device, not to mention that there are very few Palm OS devices still being sold with only 32MB of RAM and no other Windows Mobile device has only 32MB of RAM.
I understand that 32MB may be enough for most people, and I might have bought a treo 700 had it really had 32MB of RAM. But, as Raphael pointed out after booting, there's only about 15MB of RAM available. I personally don't know how you lasted so long with this device Raphael.
I also agree with all of your other points Raphael, although I haven't been in a position to be a paying beta tester with near the number of devices you have, I'm tired of the inconsistancies and unstandardized offerings out there today. So I sit patiently with a FS Loox 720 paired to a BT phone using DUN at around 115K until one of these manafacturers gets it at least close to right.
I've had the opportunity to play around with many of the devices you mentioned Raphael, and I haven't had the urge to buy any of them because of their shortcomings. The only one I really considered was the Treo 700. I didn't think that 240x240 would be good enough for me after using a vga PPC, but with the screen being considerably smaller, it really looked good. I just couldn't beleive it whaen I saw that only 15MB of RAM was available to the user. Definite deal breaker!
