Well, you're right about one thing: the sorry state of wireless in the US. However, just because SyncML (though, out-of-date, bloated, inefficient, and not used by many sync vendors anymore) can sync PIM data to your device over-the air doesn't make it useful in the enterprise. Does your closed operating system phone have a keyboard? If not, there's just no way that enterprises are going to use them for their mobile workers. Have you tried responding to 200 e-mails a day without a keyboard? I have, and it 7777-88-222-55-7777. Enterprises have, and they think it sucks too. I've worked with hundreds of companies over the past two years on this issue and not *one* company chose the phones you mention as theit mobile PIM platforms. Please understand - I'm not arguing with you about how nice and fancy the closed OS "feature phones" are. There are some really nice phones out there. I'm simply saying that they are never used as enterprise mobile work platforms and therefore have little to do with the article. - N
