Wm2005 Here is a great review of a leaked version of Windows Mobile 2005, code named magneto, from Mobile Review. Features are expected to include:

Improved support for one handed operation, (via two soft keys and improved joystick support), no stylus required for many tasks
Seamless roaming from one network to another
Push email, similar to that provided the Blackberry
Pocket Office, re-branded as Office Mobile
Improved Pocket Word and Excel, with text formatting support and charts
PowerPoint Viewer added
Support for pictures in Contacts, synchronised from Outlook
Additional field in Contacts (bringing the total to 37!); IM, Company Tel, IM2, IM3, Manager, Govt. ID, Account, Customer ID
Windows Media Player 10
USB Storage Device support (ie no drivers required to use it as a mass storage device)
A single OS merges the current different versions used for Smart Phones and PDAs

I think I will stick with my Treo for now!
