Windows Mobile 6.0/Crossbow is just a re-branded,Green color GUI with some exchange server supported windows mobile 5.0.........nothing great.........still runs on the VM limited CE 5.0 os.
Me waiting for Ce 6.0 based mobile SDK (I think they might call it as windows mobile 7.0 or something) called as Photon which should hopefully be some competetion to the iPhone..............if not I am changing my job from Wince developer to something else

5 inch screen. It would be to bulky and huge, i dont think it will fit in the pockets.

Not intrested at all, looks so sad!!

That is a very small and light tablet, to the point of being unusable.
The other way round, it is a very big and heavy 'mobile' phone, though God only knows how it can be called mobile.
The features are impressive, as they almost always are, but it is the implementation that counts. Can you seriously carry around a device as heavy as that?

Q. What've you got in that briefcase, sir?
A. A briefcase! That ain't no briefcase. That is my mobile phone's case. :lol:

(OK, I know that's a PJ. :D )

There is no such phone which can be labeled as ultimate. Not this one not N95 not iPhone. Every phone has pros and cons. And sometimes it is respective to the user who use it. So lol. :) :) :)

The main objective is to inspire and conspire.
