[serious] Just Picked Up a BlackBerry Bold / Your Preferred Mobile OS

[Kasracer]

There is a question at the end, so please read through my ranting

I've always been a huge Windows Mobile fan since you can really do anything on that platform. I've owned the T-Mobile MDA, Treo 700wx, HTC 6800 and most recently the Treo 800w. I kept moving and looking for my next phone with Windows Mobile hopping the next one would fix the bugs I've encountered. Every Windows Mobile 6/6.1 phone I've had (6800 / 800w) never had a fully working button lock; it would work but after a while it would stop and I'd have to either reset it or factory restore it to get it to work again. I also experienced quite a bit of slow down and it's a pain to use it without a stylus.

So, being extremely fed up with my Treo 800w, I decided to give BlackBerry a shot.... and holy crap. I picked up a BlackBerry Bold this weekend and I've got to say this phone is incredible! This phone is faster than any Windows Mobile phone I've ever used (including the Touch Pro; which is actually kind of sluggish). I have full web browsing, push e-mail, MMS (why the hell does Sprint not off MMS for Windows Mobile?), I can run any application I want just like Windows Mobile, programming for it is very easy (you can even write programs with JavaScript; as absurd as that sounds), it has a stylish interface and even a well working media player.

Hell, YouTube even works on this puppy and it has very loud speakers (stereo sound even).

Overall I've got to say that, so far this is the best phone I've ever owned. Has anyone else gone from Windows Mobile to BlackBerry and had a similar or opposite experience? Has anyone gone the other way and found Windows Mobile to be better? If so, what BlackBerry OS were you on (4.5/4.6 or something older)?
