Firstly... Why...

A few years ago I was a die-hard Nokia fan, proudly shouting the name of Nokia above all others...

Things have changed since then... Don't get me wrong, Nokia still makes totally awesome phones, and their new line up looks pretty damn impressive... but, after using the Symbian OS for the past 4 and a bit years, it's not as awesome as Nokia and their partners claim... There are still a LOT of limits that simply cannot be gotten around and having only one source for updates and technical improvments means, as with what happened with my N95, if they accidentally introduce a bug into the rom, you could be stuck with it for MONTHS (6 of them in my case)...

So my friend got a Windows Mobile phone and let me play with it... and yeah, I LIKED IT...

So I looked into it, and discovered that the Windows Mobile platform is INFINITELY more flexible and, as they say on the forums, if you don't like it, CHANGE IT!

I will delve into more detail on both side of the fence...
