Several (high persentage!) Qtek/HTC devices in my company running WM5 are showing the same problem. Too bad that WM6 still hasn't sorted this out.
We resolved to drop WM devices all together. Switching from WM to Symbian/Nokia was like switching from Windows to OSX - suddenly everything works as advertised and it does so very elegantly! Nokia's Internet access autoconfiguration feature is just amazing. Slide in the SIM of any operator and the GPRS/UMTS access points are just there - NOTHING to configure. Same for Wifi. Many WM users who are no power-users, just gave up.
I still haven't had an iPhone in my hand, but currently the range of available Symbian devices, not only from Nokia, is so broad that the iPhone still looks like a very well marketed niche product for people who want fun, but don't require advanced business features. For sure I am not going to trade in my new Nokia E90 with its just perfect qwerty keyboard for any WM or iPhone device. ]]>Jul 23rd 2007 4:26AM
