I suppose it depends what the OP wants - a portable computer than can
make phone calls, or a phone you can browse the web on.

Many serious business phones are WM based as they do things like
synchronise from an Outlook server natively.

My positively antediluvian [2006] Nokia E61 does Activesync natively, and
not a version of Windows in sight. I imagine contemporary smartphones
without Activesync support are thin on the ground nowadays.
