For a number of reasons modern phones can't give the PocketPC expirience -
they have no physical buttons which can be reassigned to any function in any application (which can do it),
the elements of the interface are ridiculously big,
the amount of information is quite limited (pocketPC with VGA screen could display a whole lot of knobs, checkboxes and textfields concurrently, it is almost impossible with modern technology - except with DPI altering on Android but I am sceptical about that),
there is no no-delay drag'n'drop and text selection, you should always wait a bit till the system registers your touch as dragging and not scrolling - this is the consequence of negaetion of scrollbars (which could be easily replaced by side dial),
my HP 214 can still switch to any running application faster than any modern mobile device - one press of side button to launch AltTab and one press of stylus to select the application.
Decadence.
All very good points, thanks for this info. I still think that Windows Phone would be very interesting to explore.
