It had windows. But palm hasn't gotten into the smart phone business, unfortunately

When the battery gets too low I lose everything down to the factory install.
No prob though, I can just upload from my PC and it's back like it was.

My tablet is Android. It's OK.

Everything I have had since the trio has been android. They don't have windows, just convert to windows stuff. I want windows!

I never had that problem with my trio. Must be a glitch with yours

They have a phone that runs Windows 7 and Symbian. Symbian for the phone stuff and Windows for everything else.They even have a two piece unit that allows you to talk with the bottom half while using the top half as a monitor(skype). They aren't sold here but you can find them on ebay.

my BlackBerry Z30 just let me swipe every word of that heading after i realized it was correcting my typo. why oh why is there so much contempt prior to investigation on these great phones... this one's an all touch, btw, if you don't like keyboards.

and I will continue to plug away for BlackBerry until either I or BlackBerry is no longer around.

But I must confess I have never had a Windows phone.

I don't have a Windows phone, but of the friends I have that do have one, the only complaints seem to be the lack of apps.

Phone works great. Can't get the apps I want. I've got Fitbit and Lose It on my company phone right now. (iPhone 6, which I love but can't afford for my personal phone)
