Windows Mobile 7 to ressemble the Zune HD!

Hell, how hackable is a Samsung WinMo phone for that matter? It's one company that makes WinMo phones that's let this community thrive. HTC. Look at the upcoming amount of Android phones HTC is putting out, compared to WinMo. That alone should serve as some sort of gauge.

I think WinMo is finally dying, and it makes me very sad, as I've had WinMo forever, but I just don't see 7 being anything like the previous versions, hacking included.

Millions of people buy millions of electronic products and never "hack" them. Windows Mobile can easily survive without "hacking" if by that you mean custom ROM's. Which I don't see those dying off but if they did it would be because the demand has died not the devices because people are happy with them out of the box. But even in that case a customization community with custom apps and themes would still exist. The sky isn't falling people, calm down. I don't know why everyone wants to be the ones who "called the death of windows mobile" but some of you are trying way too hard. Let's just wait and see what happens.

Thank You! WM is not dead nor will it be in the near future. Nobody has seen WM7 and everything we've heard is just speculation and 99% of that is untrue. Furthermore I guarantee that most of the rumors that have to do with bashing WM have been made by haters and the competition(apple & android). I'm excited for WM7 and won't talk about jumping ship until I see the finished product for myself.

zune hd rom was dumped months ago but because our current tools can't do much (core is different) time is what it will take...

I'm definitely liking Android better than the current WM, but if WM7 is good (as I hope it will be) I would probably come back to WM. I also think the Zune interface would be good. There would most likely be modifications available. Even the iPhone is hackable and Apple tries pretty hard to keep that from happening.

they try but yea fail =/

I probaly move to android in future only because thats the new open source OS. If anyone thinks people will like the phone so much they dont want to customize it , is insane LoL.

Remember when they said Nintendo and Palm were dead? LOL! WM IS Not Dead! WM7 connectivity to Live is gonna be hot if they do it right. They need to use their Success with XBOX360 and Win7 as a way to slingshot WinMo7 into a success. I think they can do it. They are basing the phone on Silverlight which can only mean good things to come.
