See, that explains alot! It really does.
Think about this.
Most of your phones have been messaging centric. Is that a correct assumption?
For me (and folks like me) I started with a Handspring Visor and a Cell Phone.
I used PDAs for what they were intended (originally intended.....you know replace a paper planner...which I used) and I used them HOW they were intended. The first smart phone I ever had was the Centro and if my Palm TX had not died, I likely wouldn't be using it......
So I guess for me its Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes FIRST. And have them work WELL together and easily. The device needs to stay out of my way as much as possible. No work-arounds. No funny business. It doesn't have to be pretty...just work.
As Old as the Palm OS is, it is still the king (in many folk's view) of just organizing your life. Its straight, simple, and bam.
It really is a subtle difference....but its there.
