I have tried my brother's hp microsoft phone, it cool but the battery lasts just over a day, also it takes a long time to make a phone call
When the p800 is out the comparison will be interesting

I typed my reply right after I reset my laptop because of a bluescreen in winXP (IRQ_driver_not_less_or_equal or something like that, very helpful)...
I'm only using Windows, because I 'have' to, for example Photoshop isn't available in linux, and I have to use Windows to log on to my university-network 
However, I ban as much M$-'products' as possible: IE->mozilla, outlook->mozillamail, M$office->openoffice, explorer->windows commander, mediaplayer->windvd. for example...
the only M$-products I like is calculator, notepad, Flight Simulator and it's accompaning FFB-joystick  |

I would buy a phone that suits my needs and therefore would buy  but also Nokia or MS, Siemens or Motorola. Whatever I feel suits my needs best.
I have XP professional and never experienced any problems. I would prefer the computer market to be more like the mobile phone market with many more choices...
I never signed any contract with or Nokia or whatsoever... I think that the best way for me to express my preference is by buying products..
If MS is doinmg better phones I will buy them  |

Yes Linux is good. It's Finnish like Nokia... 
But it's mostly attractive for developpers. And it's hard to avoid Windows when having a PC... Because Windows was there first, and has managed to become the standard OS... Symbian is now first on mobile phones, and I do hope it will keep its strength. The 5 largest mobile phone manufacturers are Symbian licensees, so I believe and hope the war will be easy.
Windows is too greedy in resources. And judging from the battery consumption problem related to these Stinger phones, I believe they've done the very same wrong things there.

yes, it's a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 and it's supposed to be 'Designed for Windows XP', it even had a sticker with that printed on it.
and how could I send the error report to M$ if the only option is to reset my laptop? |

stickers mean nothing, you failed to list the software and spec of the machine....do you want to try resolving the problems or you happy with them?
you can pm me and i'll try to diagnose as i said before.

Quote - Blue Screen
Have u ever used windowx XP?......I have never once had a "blue screen" and it has never once crashed on me. it is the most stable O/S i have used.
I dont understand why the whole world must contunially slag of microsoft. If it was not for them, computing would be a whole lot harder.....

XP is extremely stable, so will the ms mobile platform... don't even go there arguing that it will crash, it might have some bugs, pretty much like any other phone (t68 for instance) but it will not be crashing or giving blue screens, trust me...
