Well too bad for all you guys, when you buy an iPhone, you also have to exchange it for your left nut...

You might as well call the iPhone the Apple shock collar, it's always telling you what you can, and more often CAN'T do.

I never said i was buying an iphone. I am stating that W7 will not likely make a dent in the iphone market and Android is rising fast. I think windows mobile is missing a great opportunity to recreate their image. Based on what we have seen so far i am just disappointed.

rumors you heard may or not be true...
we will just have to see when microsoft launches it.

They are the biggest and the best, so I have no doubt wm7 will blow android out of the water...

my 2 cents....

Do we need sound working or what? Isn't this whole project about running whatever OS you want to on your device? We're booting Winmo and Android, which is great.

I need winmo for business use - folks rarely talk about it, but my BIGGEST beef with Android or OS3/4 is the email attachment handling. I receive excel or word attachments all the time and need to view those suckers on my phone. Can't do it with Android or OS3/4. How about accepting a meeting? Ever tried that using exchange over android? Not easy, you have to accept it from your calendar, which is dumb -frustrating if the meeting is in the future, you have to navigate to the specific date to accept the meeting.

Now, where android beats the socks off of Winmo or OS 3/4 is that it is OPEN SOURCE. Compare the original release of Android to 2.1 and you'll appreciate the speed at which android is progressing. Apple or Microsoft will never be able to keep up with the pace of open source development and enhancement.

Winmo 7 might be great- maybe even the best - for 3 months, then android will surpass it, remaining better for the next 1-2 years while Microsoft is working on Winmo 8.

Use mackies compilation for now there is very little difference from the one that is on the first part of the thread and mackies is an all in one build.

Great News....Bill Gates just called me,
Microsoft wants to donate some money to send you back to school.
obviously you can't read.....so we all thought this was a great idea.

Sometimes it helps to read the whole post....but we understand if reading isnt your strong point!

WIN 7. Will be the same garbage we have now.The reason they claim not to run win 7 on 6.5 phones is no time to make it backward compatible.OL PLEASE.Microshaft. is going down.Let's see. VISA(FAIL)internet explorer (FAIL) and fallen behind. Microshaft still wants us to have office on each machine.Hummm. NOPE.I have win 7 machine.But i had to pay for it after being screwed with vista.No wonder people steal there software.It is for revenge for being screwed.Microshaft is still thinking in terms of old ways.They sit around scratching there heads and have no idea they are on fire and going down.

aaaaaand... with all that said, I can't wait till this thread is closed like all the others.

Someone should just create an "Android sound" thread, thats what everyone is waiting for anyway. I could'nt care less about any of the changes that have been made to the build since data was fixed.

Yes, Im entitled to sound in Android. Fix it already!

What is with all the off topic crap? People need to stick to news and questions about Android on our Touch Pro 2's. Take your OS pissing matches to another thread already...
