And I take offense at the "reaching for webhits" bit. We clearly differentiate rumor from fact on our site and don't drag posts out to get repeat hits.
sorry but letting the msmobiles clowns - UNEDITED - post on your front page is ample proof.

you can do better. much, much, much better.

Pink is without a doubt a teen/tween phone series (somewhat based on a the new wm7 kernel that won't run wm7 apps obviously due to hardware and marketing limitations) that WILL no doubt be popular if properly MARKETED. Especially since carriers (USA) force $20/mo or $30/mo data plans on any phone with more than 0-9, send/stop keys. Tweens don't want old-man blackberries or super(geek)phones (droid/wm6). They text like mo'fos 24/7 and dabble in facebook while listening to free mp3s and playing games. They don't post on forums either. They can do with probably 90 minutes a month too.

A couple of days ago you guys posted a roadmap of rumors and keep citing some code where HTC will disable WP7 for Sense. THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. Talking about separate ZUNE phones, Media & business editions (come on did anyone really think zune services/store would be omitted from wp7.. it's their frikin' bridge to media revenue along with games now that phones can handle the graphics).

I just don't get how out of touch you can be with what is happening unless it's milking web traffic. Sorry.
