I've been using a Windows Mobile phone since the Motorola MPx-200. Of course, WinMo wasn't called that back then, but the reason I went there and am still there is for data synchronization. I like only having to manage my data in "one place."

I will confess I'm a little baffled by the difference between the Standard and Professional versions. I get the support for touchscreens, but why the heck doesn't Standard expose categories on the calendar while Professional does? Let's not even talk about the whole recurring event mess (can anyone say "where's the daily option?"). Thank goodness I can fix it with Outlook on my computer, but I really should not have to go there.

Then there's the whole managing the screen configuration, again much more difficult in the Standard version versus the Professional version (hooray for being a geek and knowing XML).

I like the iPhone and G1 and I feel they have both brought some much needed feature innovation to the smartphone world, but I'll stay with Windows Mobile and the Outlook integration. Keeping my data management simple, and not having to spend extra for it, is the key to my choice.
