If you started from the HTC Apache you're still a newcomer to the market.
Some of us started back when Handspring revolutionized the market. I don't miss WM6.5 AT ALL. I have to say the best WM device I owned was the Mogul (or the 8925 if you had GSM). All those programmable buttons and WM5 was PEPPY. I always wanted a Universal, but never was with gAyT&T long enough to get one. The StarTRK was cool too, but damn that proprietary charger.
