People hate on Windows Mobile because Microsoft's efforts in keeping pace with the SmartPhone market has been anemic at best. At one time they were the innovator in the SmartPhone Market. These days they have not had any big innovations in the market, and they even hold back implementation of new technology.

For those of you that say people hate windows mobile because they are too lazy to customize and tweak it into something more useable. I don't buy it. As a consumer the device should be inherently easy to use. That doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to tweak and modify to your hearts content.

The biggest peeeeve about WM is the Ancient UI. Windows Mobile interface sucks. Period. Sure there are the Titaniums, TouchFlo3D's, and Mobile Shells... but those are lipstick on a pig. You still have to call up the impossibly hard to use (unless you use a stylus) Native Windows programs and interfaces. The Entire Smartphone Market is moving to Finger Friendly interfaces, and WM is woefully inadequate in that respect.

The next thing that will detract is that it sucks to browse the web on WM. Sure there are multiple browsers out there that are good at different types of web experiences, but they all pale in comparison to what Safari or Android Browser have to offer. I hate having to use PIE, Opera, SkyFire, and Iris. Why can't I use just one?

WM is a wonderfully flexible platform, but the alternatives are really starting to show where the cracks in the wall are. The alternatives look better and better everyday (especially the way it's gaining steam, popularity, and support.
