After so many instances of dealing with lackluster devices that promised much but delivered less I am at a turning point in my smartphone usage. I have come to the conclusion that there is only one operating system that is most beneficial and productive for me: Windows Mobile 6 Professional. In addition to this I have also realized that the best form factor for me is the qwerty bar. In lieu of this I have found the Treo 750 from AT&T and have been enjoying every feature of it from texting to web browsing to emailing to camera shooting to American 3G. This Treo is my mobile communicator and my mobile office in one compact package and I find myself depending on it more and more everyday. Not only is the call quality ranked as one of the best, but the efficient and ACCURATE Mac synching courtesy of Missing Sync software from mark/space is simply OUTSTANDING!!! Despite its few setbacks in comparison with other devices in my arsenal such as the Nokia E90 or HTC TyTN 2, this Treo 750 really can hold its own...especially when it comes to my schoolwork on my Vista PC.
This is all not necessarily being said to boost the Treo 750, but instead the OS of Windows Mobile 6. Immediate compatibility with Office 2007 files has saved me SO much hassle in working with school documents created on a PC that it is unbelievable! While my Nokia E90's Quickoffice suite won't even attempt to open an Office 2007 file without a $45 upgrade, my Treo 750's Office Mobile just keeps trucking along with its underestimated self in granting access to even my recent PowerPoint presentation for Physics class! Another truly amazing application that is a GODSEND in smartphone technology is Internet Sharing. To finally carry around my laptop and not be at the mercy of those wifi hotspots is so refreshing that I can't even begin to describe it...and the sweetness of American 3G is a plus!
None of these things can be done with any other OS in this way, not Symbian S60 or UIQ.3, not Palm, not Linux, not Motorola, not one! This is why I hold on to the compact Treo despite its minor drawbacks. At the end of the day it's great to have a device that runs every possible feature under the sun, but I must remained focused on the importance of productivity in choosing a new model. I believe I have found the perfect Windows Mobile 6 Professional smartphone: the HP 910!!
The HP 910 smartphone appears to be EVERYTHING I want in a phone (and more) with its qwerty bar form factor and endless list of features. With a bigger screen than the Treo web surfing will be better and will also benefit from included wifi which is also not on the Treo. Built in GPS, while not a necessity, is always great to have for use with Google Maps for pin point accuracy. A 3.2 megapixel camera sounds like another worthwhile luxury along with an attractive qwerty keypad that appears to be a joy for extended periods of typing. To top all of this off with Voice Command and American 3G support is just too good for words!! I am really looking forward to the release of this new toy and have already put in my name for a preorder from ExpansysUSA. Early July is when this HP is going to be released to the market and I can expect a shipment to arrive at my house! I think that finally there is a comparable alternative to my Treo 750 and the Samsung i780, and I can hardly wait to try it out. Frankly, the new arrival of the Nokia handsets from the N96 to the E71 really doesn't strike any sort of strong interest from me. Much like the antiquated Palm Garnet OS, the Nokia S60 OS is soon to become a victim from its lack of innovation. No matter how many multi-megapixel cameras or built-in GPS units a device may have, it doesn't mean jack sh** without the appropriate OS that can work efficiently with my Mac and my PC!! Here's to Windows Mobile 6 Professional...the best operating system ever!!!
