Sure, it's better, but damnit, I don't want to be a SysAdmin to be able to plug my freakin' phone in.
It's kind of strange - I mostly use Windows Mobile Standard devices now, and I sync with an Exchange server, and I have essentially zero problems. I can't recall the last time I had my phone lock up - honestly, it's been 2+ years since I've had to pull the battery from any Windows Mobile device. The only problem I can even think of recently is that my Blackjack II for some reason stop transmitting call audio - as in, I couldn't hear the person who called me, but they could hear me. A hard reset would always fix the problem, and I had basically nothing installed except for some screen capture software and SOTI Pocket Controller Pro, so I think it was a software issue.

It's a sad reality that Windows Mobile Professional isn't as stable as Windows Mobile Standard. Standard is less "flashy", but it really gets the job done better.
