WinMo Being Phased Out

[nrfitchett4]

the same verizon that just said they won't carry the nexus one after all because they have the droid?
Did he have a release date on the iphone yet, I wouldn't count on that one till it hits.

who needs the support of microsoft when we have the support of ppcgeeks and xda-dev's???

He said he will not be carrying anymore WM devices due to no support and was talking about how Microsoft blames HTC and Vise Versa for there lack of support. He said if my brother wants to get a phone he is better off going Android. He also mentioned how VZ will be getting the Iphone for next year! Intersting none the less, But back on topic!

So it kinda makes sense about no more WinMo seeing as how Crapy 6.5 is for Sprint and how long. I mean How LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG it takes them to come out with a decent rom, and when we get it its no where near our expectations!! IMO....and then I get on here and the first thing I see is how Android is on track to surpass apple app store!! So if you ask me Android is on fire, and I think WinMo feels the heat!!

Plus if you look at all the devices coming out in the near future there all running Android....dont quote me on that.....

Do people still believe everything they are told?

I've never seen the TP2 available in the local store. I've always been told that its only available through the online store. Anyone else have a similar experience?

WinMo is a horrible OS compare to what else is out there. It's slow, laggy, freezes all the time. I love my TP2 for texting, the keyboard simply rocks but as far as the OS is concerned it's terrible. I will prob be jumping on board the HTC evo which I really don't want to give up a real keyboard or my sero plan but it looks awesome.

I agree to a certain extent, but that evo has a 4.3 inch screen, you should be able to text fine lol

he feeding you one of the cornies lines. Shoudl have fired back "if thats true how come on verzions website the touch pro 2 is still listed?" and how come sprint and tmobile and AT&t are also still selling the devices? After he gives you yet another lame answer u proceed to leave and tell him to get a new job.

Yea I think I'm just gonna suck it up but I have always been a huge fan of the TP2 keyboard. I have an ipod and hate the onscreen keyboard vs the TP2. I guess with anything I will get used to it but seems to be real keyboards seem to be getting phased out at least on higher end phones. I love having aps on my ipod which is something my phone just doesn't do very well.

I stop into two local VZ locations regularly as I know a few of the employees.

Neither location has EVER had a TP2 in stock & when I show them mine they aren't even sure what it is.........

I totally agree, but a co-worker of mine sold his TP2 & bought an HD2 & he absolutely hates the OS KB.

I heard him say the other day "I never should has bought this POS, I miss my TP2 KB in the worst way"
