Good Riddance! by: Anonymous on 2/9/2010
MS has been slow, very slow, later than Fermi slow on their mobile OS. This is one tech arena I am happy to see MS get completely beaten in. And, I hope they exit altogether. They already have a virtual lock in so many other spaces. I hope they loose this one.
Why i still use a WinMo... by: Anshel Sag on 2/9/2010
I still use a WinMo phone because i've been on the verizon network and i had a 2 year contract that will be up very soon(VERY). And there are many attractive devices that are non-WinMo that i will be considering. Nevertheless, its unfortunate to be leaving windows mobile considering the fun i had... but looking at the future of Windows Mobile, i have no reason to stay.

From your article, i don't understand why you are still using a WM Phone. Everything you were hoping for with WM7, WebOS already has. Multitasking, all the patches you could think of, inluding custom skins, UI upgrades..etc, 1000's of apps available outside the official app store. It sounds like a brand new WM7 won't even be close to as feature rich as last years phones from Palm.

if this what im reading here is true, than there will be only m$ corporation using this os.

i have WM 6.1 and i have to say that shitty nokia symbian s60 is far far away in speed and functionality, not mentioning hungs up.
Dead on arrival it is by: Anonymous on 2/9/2010
I have to agree.

It's very sad to see Microsoft locking down the phone down to make it a closed platform.

Google makes money off Android via services. Apple makes money on iPhone via hardware sales, and app sales.

Microsoft is the only company trying to make money from licensing an OS to handset makers. Nobody else is doing this, because it doesn't work.

Hence Microsoft is now looking for other revenue streams. It has seen iPhone's app store, and wants a piece of that action. This explains the Windows Phone 7 lock-down.

The only trouble with Microsoft's plan is that it doesn't have the apps or the developers to begin with. It must try to attract developers (who previously abandoned it) to return.

Draconian policies won't attract the devs. It will do the opposite. Windows Phone 7 is dead-on-arrival.
