That won't matter to the OP- he's an Apple man through and through. If
you cut him, he bleeds cider instead of blood! ;-)

I'll second your entire post, Don. I was going to write a similar one,
but
you saved me the trouble! I have the T-Mobile MDA (T-Mo's version of the
8125, which are both HTC "Wizards.") Since T-Mo hasn't gone 3G yet, they
don't offer a version of the 8525 (aka the HTC Tytn.)

If one doesn't mind a few small bugs, "leaked" pre-release versions of
WM6 are all over the net for these HTC devices. (Check out xda-
developers.com for info.) I've been using the "X-plore 1.1" ROM for a
few days, and it's good- certainly the least buggy WM6 version of the 4
or 5 I've tried. (Probably no more buggy than the "real" WM5 T-Mo ROM
that came with my device!)

WM6 is certainly "prettier," FINALLY adds HTML e-mail to the Messaging app,

and uses the new internet sharing app (instead of "Modem Link") that
makes using the device as a GPRS modem much easier- pretty much plug-n-
play. Memory handling seems a little better- I see less memory "leaking"
from available memory throughout the day.
