Re: Losing Faith in Windows Mobile 6.xx

It's the user interface that is so lacking. They've been focused on the business aspect for far too long. If you wait until 12 year olds are running around with BB's to realize that consumers want smartphones too - you're too late.

As far as capability goes I don't think WinMo is that far behind in fact I think it's actually pretty great thanks to the dev community behind it. They are dug in pretty deep due to the business side of MS - exchange servers, etc. and that is their saving grace for now.

If WinMo can be tweaked to run decently, that tells me a large part of the blame is with the carriers being lazy. I took my stock Sprint Touch Diamond and gave it a static 24MB pp and it was actually pretty nice. All I know is that Win 7 had better be nothing short of amazing if they want to turn things around. But in reality, I have a feeling they are going to try to ride the line between business and consumer and it's only going to come half-way.
