Palm OS or Windows Mobile??

Question

Whats your opinion on which of these is better? I have the palm treo 750 which is windows mobile and its kinda slow with the programs and all that. One of my buddies has a treo 680 and to me it looks much easier so i was thinking of switching phones. Whats your opinion?

Answer 1

The palm software is faster but limited.

Windows mobile is slower  but permits multitasking .

A lot of the media formats that windows mobile can use for streaming and playing videos and music can not be made to work on the palm software.

There are a lot more programs for windows mobile .

I  if you are using it for what it was originally designed for  (keeping appointments,contacts ,etc) the palm would be better.

If you want to be able to customize it any way you like play music and games, watch videos  etc  windows mobile would be better.

Answer 2

The Palm OS is a going to be a faster phone, because it requires less power and such out of a phone, not to mention it is a older device so it going to work faster on newer devices(think Windows 98SE on a brand new computer vs XP SP3 on a brand new machine). Palm OS is also going be easier to use because of the fact it is an older device, not to mention the fact that you can not dual task on the device(like listening to music, playing a game while browsing the web).  With WM you get a newer OS and you get way more software and customization ability.
