Windows Mobile is a complete nightmare from an enterprise device perspective. It's like whack-a-rat - every time you think you've got it locked down, some other blasted notification pops up. I curse all rugged device OEMs who don't offer a custom CE platform option (and those who only offer the custom CE platform on some devices or form factors in a range - I'm looking at you, Symbol MC90xx 'brick' devices, only the Gun form factor like this Dolphin have a custom CE option).

Even worse is that all the drivers for the built-in devices, on top of the Windows Mobile 5.0 Phone Edition platform, seems to lead to a DLL crunch issue. It's not funny when you get an exception in device.exe, I can tell you. WM 5.0 Phone Edition is TOO DAMN BIG! Devices with GSM/other cell radios only seem to come with Phone Edition, though.
