Default It's not all true

I would like to point out that the HP iPaq 110 is a fine PDA with a 624 MHz processor. IMO, it's the best QVGA unit ever built. Of course, it is saddled with WM6; and that's a shame.

When I had to replace my PDA, I tried to consider alternatives. But if you aren't an Apple lover, what's out there? Not much. Disclaimer: I don't want my phone and my PDA combined into one unit. And I do have quite a bit of software that makes it harder to convert to Palm. Still, I maintain that WM units are the best there is.

What's on your list of the worst things about WM6? My top two:

1. It takes forever to soft reset, and there's not even any user feedback. The first time I did it, I thought the unit hang. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

2. Active Synch (plus whatever they call the Vista version). It hangs. It disconnects. I refuses to connect. It simply does not work very well. I have three XP machines and a Vista machine. It's the same on all. And it was no better with my WM5 unit, before it died. A high school programmer could do better than this.
