skyfire does flash. but other than that, yeah, looks like we'll need a new device.
personally i'm waiting for a 1gig processor (at least), touch screen with hardware keyboard, and sprint 4g. winmo would be best, but android would probably be o.k. too. and lots of rom and ram for a change!!!

Like htc supersonic? all except winmo..

And yes that is obviously what is gonna happen..microsoft as far as everyone cares abandoned wm6...the only reason they will be keeping it so that it keeps its current customers/business customers. I wouldn't be surprised if there will be no more professional application development on wm6. anymore.

From any business perspective, developing for a discontinued product is pointless.. (of course microsft says they will still support it but we all know it will only be so long)

Yeah, I hate to admit it, but this may be my last WinMo phone... and its only my first

I will have to jump ship to Android after this, as I don't like the look of WinPho7. Luckily, there is enough available for us right now, and enough of a community that is still willing to mod the hell out of them, that I can ROM me up a new phone when I get tired of the way it looks/feels.

I guess I have to move on to Sprints future HTC WiMax Win7 PPC...

I'm not surprised. Smaller developers and the enthusiasts here may keep WM alive for awhile, but for large developers, it simply doesn't make any sense to be investing very much in WM development anymore. The lack of backwards compatibility in WP7 is just as bad for us WM 6 users as it will be for the initial WP7 users.
