SPB Software Good/Bad

[Billbeme]

Hello Users,
I was hoping everyone would be willing to talk about SPB Software for a bit here. I was hoping to discuss two main things:

1. What roles SPB software can play and at what point they begin to overlap. Example: I have installed SPB Pocket Plus onto my Treo 700wx, which after Palm's additions was pretty user friend, but the tabs have added a lot of function. However I was also eyeing Mobile Shell. At what point do the SPB applications begin to overlap each other? The three that seem to overlap the most are Pocket Plus, Mobile Shell and Phone Suit. Thoughts? How do you incorporate them all?

2. Stability Issues: I don't think anyone would question that SPB is a repubitle software developer. They currently, and have, hold/held an excellent presence in the WM community. However, I have owned four devices on which I have installed SPB products: 6700, i730, Mogul, and 700wx. I have had different positive and negative experiences with all four devices and a number of SPB apps. Example: Phone Suit slowed down my 700wx and caused Kinoma Play to fail but worked fine on my i730. Mobile Shell was bad on my Mogul but Pocket Plus works wonderfully on my 6700 and 700wx. You get the picture. Can anyone account for the instability by what most would consider a leader in 3rd party applications? Why am I having so many issues?

I look forward to many responses from what I am sure is a wide fan base. Thanks!
