I’m with Jim, although I love my Palm Treo Pro but it will be my last WinMo and last Palm for the same reasons stated, and while XDA are very useful, some of us have better things to do with our time than buggerizing around here and there trying to get things working that should be from the outset.

@wreiad I am not talking about unsupported user group hacks, I am talking about the support Microsoft has promised many times. As of now, they have not even spent $200 on a PC that can return “no updates available”. Windows Mobile will never be successful if you have to get updates from other users.

Also, I have looked for fixes for my problems and for most, the only responses I see are of the form “yes it does that, we have learned to live with it”.

@ James Gerber

You can always go to XDA-Developers and get a wide range of updates for your phone.

Unfortunately, I think this is way too little and much too late. My Windows 6.1 HTC Touch Pro has a menu item to check for OS updates but it can never connect to a server because Microsoft never even allocated a server to answer requests. That means I will never get fixes for any of the many critical issues I experience. Microsoft is hoping I will spend $600 for a new phone when the Pro2 comes out because there will be no updates for my current phone, not even bug fixes. For a third that, I can have an iPhone and for even less, an Android. As it is, my phone locks up several times a week, mysteriously loses the ability to send and receive data between 7 and 8 PM every day, and randomly stops popping up messages.

How many uodates has Apple and Google had? How many has Microsoft? The answer for Microsoft is ZERO. They created an architecture but for whatever reason decided that customers would be better off living with bugs and just buying a new handset every year or so. Not me! This is my second and last WM device.
