Could Windows mobile 7 be for real

[Maxx134]

IMO, HTC Sense & SPB still light years ahead in appearance.

Hardware requirements = more power consuming = bigger battery needed = heavier.

Unless actual hardware is some new super efficient design to match requirements, I dont see these devices making it thru the day on a 1500ma bat..

sure itl be real. but not untill they release the version they are currently working on and then start making a new one.

they are working on 6.5.3. the beta is what they were showing off at CES. they wont be comming out with a new os untill they finish making the one they are currently working on.

this is what i've been thinking. I know winmo 7 is in the works and probably almost done, but more then likely they will be showing off 6.5.x or 6.6 because they haven't even shown that off yet and it hasn't officially launched. Only us on ppcgeeks and xda have used 6.5.x the rest of the world is only using 6.1 or 6.5. It makes no sense to show off winmo 7 when they havne't released 6.6 yet and we all know 6.6 is here.

On a side note i run 6.5.x roms and love them, to finally have the sip placement working and a working taskmanager I can't wait. Microsoft go ahead and release 6.6 so we can have some official roms.

those images also looked tweaked...
windows has released images from 2 years ago...that says a lot...every other image of possible wm7 development has been closed or removed by microsoft...

thought 6.5.X builds was just development towards WinMo7. I'm quite disappointed that MS is actually releasing 6.5.3 on devices. I prefer 6.5.X over 6.5...but I just tolerate those ungainly looking big buttons on the start bar. I actually think that we'll still see WinMo7 in Feb...and I think 6.6 will be eventually used for "low-end" WinMo devices (resistive) where as WinMo7 is for the "high-end" (capacitive).

Until they offer a physical keyboard, Apple and Steve Jobs can go to hell.

MANY of us will NEVER buy a phone without a physical keyboard.
Now, if Apple did offer one, I would honestly try it.
But, Jobs will never allow it. So for that, I hope he dies.

what if we like the tactile feedback/sound? ever stop to think about that? (its a joke... take no offense to it, unless you think FM wouldnt be a good thing for the TP2 CDMA then you can take a long walk off a short pier)

I just read on 1800pocketpc.com that W7 will NOT be backwards compatible. I'm no rumormonger, but if this is true, I really hope they offer it as a companion OS for regular Winmo. If not- count me the hell out of this 'upgrade'. I do not know why companies do this(coughPALMcough), unless they just enjoy pissing off legacy users.
