Actually, I see WM5 commonly referred to in 3 flavours:
- WM5 (for regular PDA non-phone devices)
- WM5 Pocket PC Phone Edition (for PPC-based phones)
- WM5 Smartphone Edition (for PPC smartphones)
The difference between "plain WM5" and WM5 PPC Phone Edition is that the Phone Edition comes with dialing/SMS software. So they did get it right, Pocket PC Phone Edition is not the same as the Smartphone Edition. |
no, what im saying here is that the W-ZERO series from Sharp is NOT loaded with the "Phone Edition," but the "WM5 (for regular PDA non-phone devices)."
the dialing software in the Sharp-series is NOT from the OS - but is proprietary...
why do people mistakenly assume that it uses the "Phone-Edition," or the "Smartphone Edition," or whatever just because it looks and has the functionality of a phone? the OS of the Sharp-series is ONE and the SAME plain vanilla-type of the Axim X51V...
