I made the switch last fall from a very old Treo 600 to an HTC TyTn. And, honestly, it was a mistake. Yes, the WM platform is more "powerful," but compared to even an old Treo 600, it's sluggish, poorly laid out, crashes a lot more (even though I'm running about half the apps), and definitely not as easy to use/user friendly. The fact that you can't even search words in your contacts' notes field on the handheld is a joke, and the fact that Outlook Business Contacts _still_ don't sync to the handheld (even though they've released an app for it; doesn't work) is telling. My Palm just worked. Nothing fancy, but nothing sucky either.

Still, I stick with it, as the thought of having to migrate BACK is too much, now that I've reinvested a lot in software. The WM platform certainly has more _promise_ than the PalmOS and I look forward to the day when it works well, but I have yet to be very impressed.
