For the record, Windows Phone OS is my favorite operating system and I want to see it succeed in a big way because I think it is superior to other mobile operating systems (though I really like the gesture interface webOS and especially Blackberry QNX OS have, which I think works particularly well on tablets; I'll be interested to see if gestures are incorporated in any way in Windows 8 OS and the WP Apollo update). Having said that, poor e-mail functionality is a major, major problem for a mobile OS. I didn't have any problems for about the first 1 1/2 months I owned the Trophy, but I definitely have had issues over the last few weeks, and none of the things I've tried doing (clearing and rechecking the manual sync in the e-mail settings, permanently deleting deleted e-mails on both my Hotmail desktop account and my Hotmail on the trophy) have provided a long-term fix to the problems I described in my second post in this thread. Heck, I even had the link between the Hotmail server and Hotmail on the Trophy "broken" (i.e. changes on the Trophy wouldn't be reflected on the server) for a few days, even when I did the unsync/sync tweak in the e-mail settings or did a manual refresh on either the Trophy or in Hotmail in desktop mode. (Deleting e-mails in the Deleted folders on the desktop and on the Trophy did solve the "broken" connection problem.)
If Windows Phone OS continues to have issues with e-mails (and I think the problems people have described with both Gmail and Hotmail are related - I believe the problems are related to using one or both of those accounts heavily as your primary e-mail account), I'll have a hard time justifying Windows Phone OS in my own mind as my primary mobile OS in the long-term, even though I really like Windows Phone OS in most other areas. Hopefully Microsoft can fix these e-mail issues so WP OS can more fully shine and show off (IMO) its superiority as a mobile OS.
