Re: Windows Mobile vs. Palm OS

@Fareed: You say, "Considering that Palm has made all their new devices with the Windows OS proves that it is in fact better!!" No, it doesn't; it just proves that Palm thought it made more sense FOR THEM to use Windows at that point in time. There are probably a lot of potential reasons they might have chosen to do that, for example as a cost saving measure.

Re: Windows Mobile 6 on T-Mobile Dash: Friday May 4th...or right now

I have already installed the WM 6 upgrade on my smartphone DASH. The graphics are excellent but unfortunately there is a major issue with the phone turning off by itself during a call! It just turns off during calls and while I am listening to music. The battery life is pathetic due to that! I have reached the limit of my frustration!
