actually a really good athlete probably makes more than most nerds punching the clock for $40k a year.

I'm not sure you even read these reviews. I'm not sure you even know what you're talking about. All these reviews are saying is that essentially all WM6.5 is, is a new home screen and a new start menu on top of WM6.1. That's it. It's not a new OS, it's not a game changer, it doesn't change anything.

If ALL people are saying is that it is basically the same OS with a new UI and a few upgrades; not a gamechanger, then that's fine. Seems like there is a lot more vitriol than that though, like some illogical underlying resentment for winmo. As far as I could tell NO ONE was claiming that 6.5 WAS a gamechanger, so how many times do we need to hear that it is not. Who the hell said it was? It is what it is. A better UI with some a nice sleek look a few upgrades to hold you over till WM7 comes out on phones with Hardware that can actually support it.
This is no different than people harping on how much the Iphone sucks saying the same stuff over and over. I would rather have my diamond over a 3GS any day of the week and twice on thursday, but to harp on how much better winmo is gets redundant AND redundant.
We get it, 6.5 isn't the second coming, get over it. We don't need a 2,000 word review to tell us that and bashing the same stuff about winmo that's been said a million times over.
