The iphone came out and it was lacking so many things but it worked perfect for the average person that didn't know jack about a pda, as a matter of fact the iphone is kinda like the "pda for dummies", again though it did what it was suppose to do with not that much hastle or even a learning curve. And with android being open source, how can you lose? The possibilities are endless. I hope microsoft hits a homerun with winmo7 but I am starting to believe that it may be a little too late for them but who knows, they got deep pockets so anything is possible. We will see
Its funny you say the iphone is a pda for dummies. This is what I was telling a friend that said winmo sucked compared to iphone. We're not saying that the people who own a iphone are dumb, but it really doesnt take any know how or knowledge to use an iphone. It's just an ipod with a phone app.

Anyway, I've been using winmo for over 10yrs and I agree with the title of this thread. If feels like winmo is dying. I never thought I would switch to an android phone, let alone a phone with no hardware keyboard. I also came off my Sero plan. It's crazy what a really awesome phone will do. I switched OS, dropped my mandatory need for a hardware keyboard and changed my monthly plan. If only HTC was able to release some snapdragon winmo phones a year earlier.
