What Mobile OS Are You Using?
Windows Mobile 5 has been available now almost a year and I was wondering how many of you had moved to it. I know some of you have multiple devices, so when answering the poll, answer which mobile operating system you use most, and if you can't break a 50/50 tie if you have two devices with differing operating systems, then answer telling us which one you prefer to use.

I've got 'em all. I have everything from my Jornada 568 to the Cingular 8125, plus several old Palms. I can't vote. However, until I got the 8125, I hated WM 5 (I had a Treo 700W) and blamed all the screwups on it. Now I find that was just Palm's implementation of it, and my 8125 does almost as well as the other devices. However, I actually prefer WM2003SE to WM5 at this point. And nothing pleases me more than my Jornada.

I'm waiting for WM5 SE to come out and a new crop of PDAs w/ faster processors or GPUs to handle VGA. Until then I will stick w/ my Loox 720. MS never gets it right fully on their initial implementation of any new WinCE OS.

Using Windows Mobile 5.0 on my M600 and lovin' it. On the other hand, I'm also using it on my X50v and it sucks like a vortex. It's a shame that while most of today's Windows Mobile 5.0 implementations are great, there are still a couple that leave much to be desired.

Using WM5 on my Axim X51v and Cingular 2125... although, I hate to admit it, I'm barely using my Axim any more, since my Smartphone can do most things I need while away from my PC.

Stuck on WM2003SE with my Orange SPV M500, but I'm not too unhappy about it.
Would love a JASJAR, though, as I really miss a VGA screen.

I love my two WM5 devices. While not perfect WM5 is just great on a Phone Edition, compared to WM2003.
