Microsoft's Smartphone exceeds expectations
PC Magazine | at | by Mike
Our early peeks at Microsoft's Smartphone platform-the phone-centric operating system that's part of the company's Windows Mobile family-didn't push our buttons. But now that we've had a chance to test the new Motorola MPx200 and the Samsung SCH-i600, we're ready to admit that our first impressions were wrong.
Don't confuse Smartphone-based devices with PDA/phone combos (such as the Treo 600), which are based on either the Palm or Microsoft Pocket PC operating systems. Smartphones are not PDAs but rather very smart phones that happen to play multimedia files, work beautifully with Outlook (retrieving e-mail wirelessly), and more.
