There is a lot of depends to answer your question. As some pointed out MS
Windows Mobile is great. I think v6 is the latest but there are still a few
phones that use v5. Perhaps the best thing to decide first is which phone
service provider do you want to use, for me there are a lot of limiting
factors and my choices narrow down to one serivice provider. Once you decide
on the service provider then see what phones they have. They usually have
two different types (1) standard types of phones and (2) PDA/Smart phones.
Most of the PDAs require extra service that cost an extra $30-$40 a month
(for my provider). Also you need to determine what features you want on your
phone, again this will limit what phone you will use. I'd love to have the
iPhone but AT&T service in my area is the pits.Things that are important to
me are sync all my contacts, calendar, notes and task, plus I want GPS
navigation. I don't do email and I don't want to browse the internet (this
in my thing). For me this narrowed down my choices to two phones, one may
not be able to contain all of my contact and the other does not have the GPS
navigation, thus I have a hard choice to make, thus I'm in a hold status for
a couple of months to see if the service provider releases a new phone that
meets my needs. My sons and daughter-in-laws use the black berry and love
them but I like the touch screens thus I did not like the black berry.

The phone I currently have is windows based and I've used it for over two
years, other than it bing the phone from hell it has served me well and the
sync works GREAT but I really look forward to replacing it.
