Gingerbread in December is closer to reality... but I wouldn't count on it. As for comparing WinMo 6.5 timelines with Android... forget about it. Apples and oranges. The two shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence other than to say that Android is everything we wanted WinMo to be and MUCH MUCH more.

Sorry, just that the EVO is an htc device on the Sprint network and so was the TP2.

Oh now come on Windows Mobile was great, even the best mobile OS on the market, years ago that is. It was great but the mistake Microsoft made was after a few years they pretty much stopped making changes, all they did was just release the same old thing with just a slightly fresher look.

+1 No Doubt XDA will have it fully functional in probably a month or less. Maybe thats what HTC is waiting for. Let XDA do the work for them.

Yup, Its rumored that Gingerbread "supposed" to be making its way to phones December time frame maybe early Jan. But add sense to that and thats what, another 6 months. I myself am relying on the hard working devs that gets it done in half the time and usually with better results....

I was thinking the same thing as soon as I saw this thread popup.

I think MS did the absolute bare minimum to stay in the market. They are getting killed right now (mobile division). I don't know whose idea it was to basically stop selling Windows Mobile devices while Apple and Android stomp them into the ground but they should be fired. If you think about it by the time WP7 arrives most people will be locked in to 2 year contracts. They wont be able to buy new devices.

I don't think that I could ever go back to WM. Once you go Android you don't go back.

Dead-on!! Nor will they even want to. And I'm sorry, but WinMo was only good in the RARE event that I got my hands on a custom rom that had minimal lock-ups! The fact was, that WinMo NEVER worked will with my exchange push services. Lockups were quite frequent so long as I was using that. I used to be an MS fanboy, but sorry... no longer. They had my dedication for far too long. The ONLY reason they had it is because I refused to be imprisoned by iPhone.

Android is the only phone I have owned that has made my iPhone friends consider switching... that is saying a lot.
