The upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.0 has been a disappointment in one way -- it didn't make my Verizon Treo 70owx rock solid. Everything (word processing, other PDA functions) can work fine for hours, even a day or so, if I don't go online. Then it's not long until the Treo locks up, or refuses to respond. This is nothing new; it's been like this for the 2 1/2 years I've owned a WinMo Treo (first the 700w, then the 700wx). Some ROM builds were better than others for stability. And I can't just blame Windows Mobile; I've had PDAs that were very stabile. I have some third-party apps, but none that I can blame.

My question -- is this normal for Windows Mobile SmartPhones? Something just to live with? Is it the Treo? It's getting time for a new phone/pocket computer, and I'd like something more stabile, if possible.

I have had both the Palm-Powered and Windows-Powered phones and I must say I do prefer the Windows-Powered phone over my old Palm one.

The PalmOS phone (700p) I had did nothing but freeze-up, reboot, lose data, piss me off, etc.

I have had my Windows-Powered phone (700wx) for quite a while now without any freezes or reboots and that is throughout its life of being upgraded to newer OS's.

It came with WM5.0 originally, and I then upgraded it to the Verizon WM6.0 upgrade (even though mine is on Sprint), and now I have upgraded it to WM6.1 Pro, and I have never had anything to complain about.

I must recommend upgrading yours to WM6.1, it seems to be much more efficient and a lot quicker, not to mention the menus look nicer.
