Just read today on Mobile Gadget News that OMNISOFT had their account with Handango inexplicably cancelled in what looks like a way to keep from paying out a prize that John Cody, of OMNISOFT, had won in 2005. Go HERE to read John's account and the unedited emails between him and Handango and their 'out of the blue' decision to cancel his account and delete all of his software from their servers. Better to read it there and get it straight from him because I wouldn't be able to do the story justice. Link to OMNISOFT's forums on the topic. I have purchased software from Handango before (as many people have) but will do so no longer. There are plenty of other places to get smartphone software from and no reason to support a company that tries to strong arm their partners and give no reasons for it. Show your support for John Cody and OMNISOFT and start buying your smartphone/PDA software from other stores such as: PocketGear, Clickgamer, Clickapps,
Mobihand, Astraware, and others as well as discouraging people you know, or that ask, from buying anything from Handango.
I cannot wait for this smartphone (Treo 750v) to hit the U.S. I've had a Treo 600 for 2 years now and have been waiting for another GSM Treo phone (other than the 650). I just wish Palm would get with it and include WiFi with their phones. I use T-Mobile and the wish for WiFi almost makes me want to go with the new Dash instead, even though it doesn't have 3G support. Another negative for the Dash for me is that if I'm going to go with Windows Mobile, I want the Pocket PC phone edition versus the Smartphone edition. Using a Treo for so long and trying out other smartphones of the Windows mobile variety, I always end up missing the touch screen. The Treo 680 also seems pretty cool, especially being familiar with the Palm OS, but with no WiFi AND no 3G/HSDPA support I think is going to rule it out for me. The iPAQ HW6915 may be another option... I really want something with the QWERTY keypad and a touchscreen. What Smartphones are you guys using? What about your phone do you like/dislike? What made you choose your smartphone over the others? Thanks in advance for your feedback...Just trying to get as much info as I can before I make this decision.
