Actually its pretty easy to say it... wm sat around with that same ol os for too long and they arent going to transition a large number of people with a new os. It's just like people have formed the opinion that sprint's customer service is straight terrible from years ago.. even thought they've made strides and improved it vastly the people that left dont care and arent going to come back because of the image they LAST had of it.

Sure they may grab a few new people but trust... a large number of people that I know that have left hate winmo compared to current more up to date handsets and I doubt if they'd ever switch back. A lot of people here have biased opinions on the matter mainly because its a winmo forum.. but visit some neutral sites and look at opinions on winmo and you will see exactly what I mean.

I've been die hard winmo from the mogul but seeing the strides others are making while we sit and get these meager 6.5 and 6.5.x updates has already made up my mind that this is my last winmo phone. Slow, outdated...thats the main reason the majority of us are here to begin with to be able to "tweak" the phone to a state where we actually like it. I'm kind of tired of having to do that honestly just to be satisfied with it. Especially when i've picked up a droid straight out of the box and realized how fast it was compared to my phone.. which many would argue is the best winmo has to offer aside from the hd2 right now.

As far as the sony/microsoft gaming thing... its actually going to be the exact opposite of that. Sony DOMINATED with their PS2 compared to the xbox. The only reason they didnt do as well with the PS3 compared to the 360 is for one, the 360 came out LONG before the PS3 did. Two, the price of the PS3 was WAY more than that of the xbox360. And that was mainly because Sony factored a blue ray player into the ps3.. not much of a comparison to the current state of winmo vs iphone or android. No matter what winmo does, they wont put a dent in iphone users PERIOD. Most of those people are dedicated to anything apple makes and the fact that they were able to destroy the market like that while being limited to ONE carrier? What do you think is going to happen when the Iphone 4G drops and both AT&T AND Verizon have it?

And on top of that the majority of iphone users love the phone because of the apps. And lets just be realistic, as far as apps go the iphone is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ahead of winmo. Some folks like to use the "winmo phones were made for business" excuse but at the same time, the iphone has apps where you can actually take the bar exam.. on a phone. They have apps where you can use the phone as a credit card scanner for small businesses. Honestly im just tired of the winmo excuses and the excuses people make for why its fallen so far behind even though they had damn near a 4 year headstart on everyone else... which is why this will be my last winmo phone. Even though I can flash I just feel so limited on what I can do.
