Its not that I believe everything that I am told! But I thought it was something worth mentioning since it does make sense. Look around you! Theres alot of droid stuff out there...I remember when Droid first came out, There was a topic here of wether to give it its own forum or not! Well guess what? It does have one now and its still going. Not that I am a Droid fan, but its the way the scales are tipping....Well to me it seems that way....

It wasnt that he was feeding me any corny lines...He just told me that they do not carry that phone in the stores and that phone was being discontinued incuding WinMo. But if I really wanted that particular phone it would have to be ordered. So he did not try to coarse me into any other phone but just simply stated why go with WinMo when they are being phased out..

Ok, so I read the whole thread and now I am going to try to make a point that nobody else has made. You can't watch a television show on any channel across the cable spectrum with out seeing at least 1 Droid from Verizon ad. I am a truck driver and the billboards are everywhere nationwide. Verizon is treating droid as Att treated the IPhone. They are going to push you towards the Droids and Android OS to recoup their ad monies. Sprint did the same thing with the Instinct. I went to go get my TP1 and when the corporate store didn't have it yet, the tech tried to con me into an Instinct by claiming it was The IPhone killer. My love for HTC and my hatred of Samsung made the decision easier. I digress.
I don't believe that Microsoft is phasing out the WinMo OS because there is too many business users out there. I would venture to say that 80 percent of the TP2 users are business men that just use the phone as is.
As for lagging, I have some apps that I have collected over my years of enjoying windows phones and I don't see the lagging problem. But I guess I am old school and figure that if you don't try to drive a car faster than it was meant to go, you wont have problems.
As for Verizon getting IPhone next year, the real truth is that it was offered to Sprint and Verizon first. Neither company wanted the phone due to networks. Apple wanted it to have GSM capabilities so it could be sold round the world. Sprint and Verizon passed. Good Luck multitasking with it.
Sorry for the rambling, but I just wanted to input my opinion. I am just a truck driver, What do I know?

I applaud you, I think your absolutely correct.

And to add to that, to say winmo is being "phased" out is the equivalent of mr. Bill Gates saying microsoft is going out of business.

not all winmo devices are phones. therefore they would not end up being winphone devices...

think ipad in reverse... remember M$ made the portable computing market possible with all thier hard work the last 10+ years.

I'm not sure if that was directed to my statement I made, but I was already of that lol, and their phones are doing quite well, up until the last year, recently HTC has been doing hella commercials(for example, the HD2) , and in like 2008 I don't recall ever seeing one commercial.

I too must applaud you and also personally agree with your statement.
