WinMo Being Phased Out

[Q_Q]

Has MS really come out & say they will phase out WM?
From the WP7 announcement pressers, it appears they were going to support both OS for different demographics.

in all honesty win mo 6.5 will be phased out by december for sure.. thats a given since windows phone will be available.. to bad no sense on top of it or micro sd cards.. or cut and paste.. (on launch anyway)

Yea and that is what I am worried about. I would rather have a little extra bulk and have a good keyboard than some on screen garbage. I don't see them making an evo with a hardware keyboard. Even typing on my ipod it takes way longer and I make more mistakes. I'm sure I would get use to it over time if that is all I had but still.

If thats the case, then why are new 6.5.x builds being "leaked" out that end up being cooked into (much better than stock) ROM's. Obviously MS is still putting some development into the core OS to string it a long for a bit more.

just my .02

I'm not too fond of the onscreen keyboards which is one of the reasons I didn't go with a hero. I have an Ipod touch too and my thumbs are just too darn big to text on it.

The difference between the KB on my HTCTouch and my new TouchPro2 is great. Much better keys. I still have problems with the onscreen kb with it too....I'm all thumbs.

who knows same reason they continued to develop dos when windows 95 came out I guess just something to do maybe?

the win9x kernel was run from DOS... it wasn't until XP that DOS was no longer necessary for the Windows OS for the average consumer computer
