I agree with the previous posters. Winmo is really dying. Now it won't go completely away simply because Microsoft is behind it.
But it is no secret that HTC and other handset makers really don't like WinMo anymore... It's sad because many of us have spent so much time on Winmo, but Microsoft has really has so many misteps with their Mobile OS that it might be too late to recover.

Where are you getting your information that it's no secret that HTC doesn't like winmo? Last I checked, there were articles and announcements by HTC stating they treasure and value their partnership with Microsoft/Winmo and will continue to develop for them. That's why the Touch HD2 is winmo. Not to mention the TP2 is the best selling business phone outside of the Iphone 3GS.
I don't get why people are writing winmo off. Just last night I was sitting around the dinner table with a bunch of friends and playing around with our phones (TP, Droid, Iphone 3GS, pre) and even though I'm sporting a Winmo 6.1 TP, I could do quite a bit of the same things the other phones could. Granted I don't have a compass, or turn by turn GPS for free, but everyone was just as impressed that my old TP could do a lot of the same things and we haven't even begun to talk about winmo 7.
