Sorry, I was being
really unclear. I was talking about app upgrades -- and the story is mixed there. The iPhone OS's behavior of uninstalling and reinstalling apps is very clean, but it's a bit annoying -- the icon moves and data embedded within the app is often lost. I'm not sure if the latter can be fixed, but if not, WM's upgrade process is at least inline.
There is no doubt that the OS upgrade process on the iPhone is miles better than any WM upgrader I've seen (Palm's pretty much the only vendor that takes steps to make it easy to reset the state of your WM device, and it's still quite a bit more cumbersome).
(On the other hand, you can upgrade straight from the mobile device, which WM
still doesn't have a central facility for.
