Anyone Else feel WM7 will be a flop?

That may very well be true, but MS would be smart to actually put the WM platform on a diet with WM7. That's what they did from Vista to 7 and it worked out perfectly.

I'm not saying I am totally happy with microsoft because I'm not, but out of the the 3 big OSs out there, I'd still rather have 6.5. So as flawed as it may be, IMO it is still the best. arguments can be made for android, webos, apple, blackberry, and winmo.

Dude, touch screen Windows Mobile phones have been around since like 2003, 3 years before the iPhone, 5 years before Android.

But even if that were true, its not a good excuse for not being upto par.

yeah the point is that it was not orginally designed for touch screen, they just had to keep tweaking the OS, whereas apple and android were specifically designed for touch screen. Besides, there are so many iphone and android UIs now anyways as far as "finger friendly" goes, the only reason people seem to prefer the iphone is the apps, which I agree that windows needs to come out with some good looking apps pronto.
