Winmo rules, phone 7 bytes!

these Dinosaur relic Devices will be available on Ebay for years and years, That have A stylus, a hard QWERTY board, A dedicated headphone jack! and sometimes a built in phone.. Microsoft has not reinvented the wheel, but has made a grave mistake by trying to compete with Droid and iPhone when in my pocket, Winmo always was the winner, ...

meanwhile to the millions waking up on Christmas morning to a new business phone with 6.5.5, with a new two year contract, only to find the Microsoft phone marketplace really wants you to be on phone 7...

I think we need to keep Winmo 6.5 alive, and completely bail on the non Winmo phone 7, Remember We are pocket computer geeks, not phone geeks

Re: Winmo rules, phone 7 bytes!

Actually, I'm both. I love small devices (just got a Galaxy Tab) and I love powerful PCs with big monitors.

I looked at Win Phone 7, was underwhelmed and thought the interface was a joke. Bought an Evo. If my TP2 hadn't been a bit flaky, I probably would have stayed with it longer. But I've gone to Android now, and I'm not looking back.

Re: Winmo rules, phone 7 bytes!

There's a device and a platform for everyone of us.
Just like this thread. LOL.
But anyhoo... WP7 is not for nerds... That's the slot Android filled. Winmo is not dead and it will be back to seduce you in a bit. For now Microsoft doesn't care about YOU. They care about making money and grabing a piece of the marketshare. The nerds have and will jump ship to Android. Then WinMo will be back with full support to get you to come back... (look up windows embeded phones. They are in their infancy but will not come out completely till WP7 is where it needs to be). Android is what it is and it has alot of potential but like iOS... It's not invincible and it too will be a thing of the past.

Re: Winmo rules, phone 7 bytes!

Its very sad to realize that phone 7 is NOT Winmo, will there be a Winmo 8?, this morning I made a happy discovery, its called the Samsung Gloria, hopefully way cheaper then the now defunct OQO, I can truly have a real computer in my pocket some day, and stop crying in my beer....so how do you say 7 in a conversation when your taking windows 7, Not phone 7, it really sucks that it becomes a catalyst to confusion... say 7 home/office? say 7 ??? what is the 7 pro, starter, ultimate called besides windows 7, when you do not want any crosstalk with phone 7, cause you have a different phone on your pocket computer running 7?

I think this is the dream for everyone to have a small but, full featured full blown PC/Phone combo. This has been the attraction of Windows Mobile, because it's almost like a PC but, WP7 tries to be a iPhone but better (in some aspects), taking off the model that Apple has done (the big cash cow marketplace).

With small PC size something has to give, as you try to get to really small sizes, the CPUs can't be used, something has to go. Normally it's the speed and perfomance that takes the hit due to the lack of CPU space.

Now, if you can get i7 speeds, with a phone section that is on a chip (so even if your bluescreen'ing and someone calls, it will ring and can work independant if needed) with Windows 7 in a size, say, HD2/Droid 2 4-4.3") with a keyboard, with a fair price, sign me up !!!

I just want to play Black Ops multi player with full graphics on a phone, then my life might just be complete (as phones go).

One can dream tho...
