That is great advise. I have had a few phones myself and the wife has had 2 BBs. Her BBs never crashed, but were limited in a manner that Palm is not. So yes, stable, just does not meet everyone's needs. I have the 800W and stability is not an issue with it; however, Windows 6.1 Professional has issues that keep it from being "perfect." Those issues include alarms not sounding, duplicate alarms, events not eventing (related to alarm problems) and Bluetooth volume. The standard battery takes a while to condition, but handles ok for most people. For those that WANT or need more battery life, the 2600ma battery rocks (I rock, but do not roll).

One thing to consider, can you buy one, give it the 30 day trial and if that does not make you rock, then try the other? I did that once and it rocked.
