New MS Mobile Devices PocketPC 2002

I don't want to star a OS war. I have been using Palm since the US Robotics Palm Pilot, and I currently own a VP.

Last month I almost changed over to a Compaq ipaq, but after using one for a while decided to stick with my VP. Perhaps later, when there's no more advances in this line, but for now...

Anyway, have you guys seen this http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pho...one/default.asp

It's an update on their smartphone (Stinger) line.

Looks like they use much more color than Handspring did on Treo.

Looks great. But I'm not sure about the keypad for entering text.

Cluttered Interface

I am a bit concerned about the interface. It seems very cluttered and unrefined...But I guess I shouldn't expect any better from a Phone PC.
