Sorry if this has been already a topic issue. Haven't seen.

After a so-so "upgrade" to a Qtek S200 from my loved i-mate JAM (dropped, and on-off button got stuck) I was a bit upset with the many inconveniences is such a "small" upgrade (Should I say downgrade... :evil: ?) Slow.... hangs, hard reset in just 24 hrs usage...

BTW scrolling down some notes in a certain contact in my Qtek, I found a DAUNTING message I'd never seen before...:

THIS TEXT EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM LENGTH AND HAS BEEN TRIMMED ?? :shock:
ANY CHANGES OF THOSE ELEMENTS WILL OVERRIDE IN FULL THE ORIGINAL IN YOUR PC

It's incredible! Now MS decides wich part of my info should be "discarded" without previous notice!

This fact alone should prevent buying the device. I might have lost valuable info in BOTH mi PC and my PDA. How can MS let it happen?

Has anyone got the same problem?
Is Prophet specific?
Or is it WM5 wide?
