There is no question devices will continue to advance. I need one now, not next week.

Here. Here. Before I bought my first PC I told my wife and friends, "you know, if I wait indefenitely, I'll have the latest and greatest computer."

I don't get it, this basically looks like a Q with MORE features. The price is about the damn same. If Verizon had offered this it would have been a no brainer. a PPC can do anything a Smartphone can do plus a lot more. It's not the same when you own a Smartphone. Also it has a better processor *FASTER!* It looks almost the same size, somebody please tell me what the Q has over this??

I mean if you don't like/need a touch screen fine, but I'd have taken this just for the speed increase. And everything else, like cut+paste, WiFi + FULL WM5 support makes it a no brainer choice over the Q.

Wifi is the most sought after feature that most people who have it never use.

Probably in a thread that's actually discussing TCPMP.

And it's still not available on Verizon or any other CDMA network, so how can it be the Q I wished I'd bought?

Also, your claim of "compatibility with the whole WM5 software library" is false. It's compatible with the Windows Mobile Pocket PC library; it will not run any software that's only avaialble for Windows Mobile Smartphone. For one thing, that means that no Home screens will work on it; you'll need to find equivalent Today screen functions. (Of course, the Pocket PC library is bigger than the Smartphone library, so that may not be too hard.)

That said, I also wish the Q was available in the same form factor running WM Pocket PC Phone, but it's not. I am looking forward to checking out the Samsung i760 Pocket PC Phone, though, especially as it will be running Crossbow (WM 5.5 or 6.0) and will probably end up on Verizon.

Someone rubbing a PPC in the face of a smartphone user is alot like the owner of an F150 pickup trying to dis a BMW Z3 owner because their truck can carry more sh*t. If I wanted a PPC I would have bought a PPC.
