Windows is not dead!

[Johnny.Bravo]

Actually, I find this whole conversation fascinating. The boxing joke was just lighten the mood a little.

I'm probably going to harp on this like a broken record but If we abandon the QWERTY board and stylus it will surly die!

I've found that I like this setup better: Pressing back does a surprisingly good job of going "back" to the previous screen.

Yes it does but if you have a virtual keyboard out it hides it...

What kind of pathetic excuse for a default onscreen keyboard is that thing (I've used an HTC customized Android device, and that makes it a bit more usable though to be honest)? What Mobile OS doesn't let you "stow away" your onscreen keyboard without holding down the home button for a half hour? What OS offers nothing but Toilet Paper scrolling?

What OS renders SuperCam (SuperDVR Mobile application) correctly?

WinMo - 5
Android - 1

Sorry, just an "IMO". I do use android for using SuperCam if I want it rendered correctly on the VGA Display.

Just my "Two or three cents".

How can you base your review of android when it is installed on a phone that is made to run windows mobile? Your comment is baseless and irrelevant.
Also, to install apps on android it is not necessary to have a a google account. You can install apps by downloading the apk file which you can get from many different sites. Plus, how is having a google account a bad thing? last time I checked android and google were one of the fastest growing companies. That usually means that people like it not that its bad.
What are you talking about when you say this "What Mobile OS doesn't let you "stow away" your onscreen keyboard without holding down the home button for a half hour? The keyboard can be stowed away instantly by using the back button or on some keyboards by swiping down.
Please do a little more research before trying to put down any os.
I won't say anything bad about wp7 because I haven't tried it yet but windows mobile I can.
If you want to continue using windows mobile over android then go ahead. I myself switched to android cause I got tired of rebooting my phone over 7 times in a 30 minute period and having my phone freeze hundreds of times. But if you like that type of experience then good for you.

Gee, calm down. LOL! It was just a half sarcastic reply to the previous post that happened to have a few nuggets of truth in it.

This is quite the discussion, but I think Windows Phone is dead... I probably will keep my TP2 for a long while and maybe buy a couple extra on eBay for a reserve.

I have been following closely Windows Phone 7 development on Paul Thurrotts's Pages:

http://www.winsupersite.com/mobile/wp7.asp

Basically, from what I can see is this phone requires you to use Windows Live and sync Outlook and contacts through the cloud. This is a nonstarter for me... again music and podcasts seem to be poorly synced like Android.

Again Microsoft is taking an arrogant position and is going to eat it. Their 5% market share will decline.

I guess eventually I will have to get an iPhone if they stop supporting activesync in Windows 8 (desktop) and beyond.

For those of you who don't believe me when I tell you IT'S not dead...

HTC T9199 ('Oboe') announced for China; WM6.5.3 still not dead | Windows Phone Central

[AZTECHKA]

And then there's this too...
Motorola and Sprint announce Windows embedded device | Windows Phone Central

[AZTECHKA]

Did you see the OBOE... That one looks promising... It's CDMA and GSM. May make it's way here...
You never know.
