Info like when will MSFT enable GAL access for R6?
Or maybe when why does a data plan from most carriers cost more for MSFT devices than for RIMM devices?
Or how about, when will the R6 upgrade be available for the Treo 700WX?
Every manufacturer and OS has it's own adherents and in some cases religious zealots. All factors have to be taken into consideration before you commit your company, or a large portion of it's higher profile users, to any technology.
My wakeup call this morning was from a Rogers Wireless user in Quebec. The outage seems to have started there and moved south but then maybe people here just didn't notice for a while. I didn't get my first US call until about 9:30 AM PDT. I'll be happy when someone invents a really good OS th at will fit on a handheld device. But it ain't here yet.
I tried using a beta code of this for Mobile 2005 but it didn't work very well.

I would suppose it's because there's a greater degree of functionality and more data is passed through the network. I'm a Sprint user and think I get a good deal. Plus I don't get nickel and dimed like the Verizon users.

Yeah, I've been waiting in vein as well. And I have connections!
They just upgraded the ROM on the Sprint Mogul so it will do EVDO Rev A. I'm on a two year cycle with my phones and often feel like I'm behind my peers!
Looks like my 700WX will be retired shortly.

In this case it's not just an OS issue but a network architecture. Using a Microsoft Smartphone/Exchange combo gives you the resiliency of the Internet. RIM forces a single point of failure. Why everyone keeps suggesting that Microsoft is going to buy RIM I'll never know.
