I have been using PDA's with palm OS and Windows Mobile 5 for years. They were remarkably reliable. Pairing to bluetooth headsets and car kits was a snap. After reading a number of commercial reviews I purchased a new Samsung Omnia from Verizon. It looks pretty cool. But, there is NO way to put speed dials on the today screen (at best it will be 3 screens down). I thenk discovered that the phone would not work with my car's blue tooth. Verizon blames Samsung. Samsung blames Mircosoft. Microsoft says that they know that Windows 6.1 will not work with many cars. However, Microsoft claims that the system is working properly and recommends upgrading the software in the car. Audi does not offer an upgrade for the software. Microsoft recommends buying a new car. Before you buy any phone with WM 6.1, do a google search of problems with WM 6.1 and bluetooth. The problem is huge and Microsoft is doing nothing to fix the problem.
