It occurred to me that Windows Mobile 6 is generating zero buzz (or at least so little that I don&#8217;t see it). The iPhone buzz has died down for the moment (too much lead time between its announcement and summer availability). The phone that seems to be getting a lot of buzz lately is from good ol&#8217; Nokia: The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nseries.com\/index.html#l=products,n95\">Nokia N95<\/a>. Built-in GPS, 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics (same as used by Sony&#8217;s digital cameras), nice new mini-browser paradigm, installable applications (unlike the iPhone), and a nice form factor. If the Nokia PC Suite can sync half decently with a Windows or Mac OS X box (I&#8217;d lean towards a Mac for syncing), it will get very high on the list of devices to replace my current Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I decided to search for &#8220;Windows Mobile&#8221; on Amazon. The first result was my friend Frank McPherson&#8217;s great book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0072262508?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=totechcom&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=0072262508\">How to Do Everything with Windows Mobile (How to Do Everything)<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" style=\"border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=totechcom&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0072262508\" \/> (no doubt due to superb technical editing :-). But, what happens when you search for &#8220;Windows Mobile 6&#8221; instead? Did you guess that the first hit would be the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000NK0ABQ?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=totechcom&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B000NK0ABQ\">BlackBerry 8800 Phone (Cingular)<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" style=\"border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=totechcom&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B000NK0ABQ\" \/>? Yep, if you search for &#8220;Windows Mobile 6&#8221; on Amazon, it pops up a RIM Blackberry phone as its first hit.
