Re: where are all the new WM phones?

It is HTC's hottest phone out there, and the fact that it could upgrade to WM7 makes it a solid investment. If WM7 won't run on the TP2 and people are planning on keeping the phone for more than a year, they might hold out until the HD2 comes or until WM7 is released.
Went into Best Buy this morning and struck up a conversation with one of the employees that works in the wireless section. He actually had a touch pro and was very familar with flashing and customization. I noticed that they didn't have ONE windows mobile phone on display (no ATT, no Verizon, no T-Mobile, Sprint... nada). I asked him why. He said he didn't know exactly why but he said with a bit of sadness that he thinks they are moving away from selling Windows Mobile phones because "frankly, they are just not as popular". (his words not mine).
