I have an iPod Touch and it used to be the most stable device/ipod I have ever used.

Come firmware 2.0 and I click the buy button. After that, I have had nothing but trouble. It's unstable, there are times when I had to hard reset it not once, but 4 times consecutively. And its not jailbroken.

I have installed about 10-15 apps on it and it just feels so sluggish. Not like the old 1.1.4 firmware that ran smooth as butter.

If I had this experience on a phone, it would be horrible to use it on a day to day basis.

Anyway, I have been using WM phones since a few years and have seen them progress. WM is very stable out of the box. My mom uses my old WM phone and she doesn't know even 5% of the features, nor uses them. But its the most stable phone she's ever used and she absolutely loves it.

My earlier WM phone had over 80 apps installed and it was very stable. As long as you don't install random junk from strangers, there are little chances of it crashing.

Now I use a Nokia E71 (on the newest Symbian 9.2). It's very stable as well, as stable as my WM phone.

I love the iPod Touch (iPhone) interface. It feels slick and easy to use. It's intuitive and brilliant. But I am sick of people talking about it like its the holy grail or that its super stable.
Whatever it is, surely the word stable does not describe it.
