I haven't used this phone or the Verizon version but here's my issue. I recently purchased a Samsung Blackjack which I ended up returning after 48 hours. Why? I loved the phone but I hated the operating system. Next I bought a Blackberry Pearl. Again, I loved the phone and I hated the operating system. Now this wasn't a surprise because I've had Blackberies in the past but I guess I was hoping that the Pearl would be different. I used to have a Treo...I loved the operating system but I hated the phone! So why doesn't Palm license the operating system for other phones or maybe the question is: Why do phone companies shy away from purchasing Palm licenses to use on their phones? It is the easiest and friendliest OS out there...why not use it instead of the crappy Windows Mobile or any other OS?
