whosdaman....

calling anyone any names is cursing, it's just not as colorful.

I agree with everyone about crapples Iphone. Who cares if M$ doesn't advertise it's OS. Everyone in the business world knows it's there. You had 3 choices at one time....WM, Palm, Blackberry. Now you can add Android. Iphone doesn't even rank to me as a smartphone. But to me, android is a kids multimedia platform. It's not close to being a big man's OS yet. Although intuitive, and great for competition, it's all about google, not the businessman.

I think android is an ok OS but a ways to go before business ppl take it as a serious "work horse" for a phone. Iphone is hardly a smartphone or a phone I believe somebody can do any type of work off of. Bb is alright but they OS need an overhaul as well as its becoming outdated a lil and palm new webOS still gotta show and prove. So with all that being said I'll stick with my perfect winmo os that fits my needs for media and work. I don't bash OS's as none are sound but I used a lot of phones(most on the market) and winmo works best for me(keyword ME) so imma ride this horse for as long as I can. And I really think what turned a lot of business ppl off/away from the iphone is after using it you can't multitask on it/programs can't run in the background which was an epic fail for most ppl who run 3 or more programs at a time IMO

They have lost alot alot of money off stuff they have produced, but they can afford to do so....but Google is coming in with this new OS that has alot more firepower and wealth then Microsoft does, and with a Community that can support it, unlike WM, it will continue to become the best....thats my prediction

Also all of you, especially you Young.....if you haven't been looking around at the Rumored WM7 images, it incorporates nothing about 6.5....

What's the difference between 6.1 and 6.5?
1. Today Screen - Well WM7 got rid of it
2. Enlarge Start Menu - Again, they changed it
3. Finger Friendly Menu Popups - Well wasn't this expected in WM7?
4. New Look - Pfft....please WM7 has an entirely different look so 6.5 is irrelevant
5. O last but not least, Stability and Speed - Yea right, 6.1 is more stable then that (I know it's a beta) but WM7 is an entirely different SYS

So really...the main differences in 6.5 and 6.1 are not even in WM7, so what is the point? Since you say that 6.5 is incorporated in 7?

First of all you talk as if you know me which you obviously don't and if me not agreeing with you make me ignorant lol then so be it. You talk as if you have played with Windows Mobile 7. Pictures don't show you how the OS interacts, and how do you know if those pictures are even real. You know just as much about WM 7 as we all do. BARELY ANYTHING. You don't know how the today screen, start menu or any of that stuff will look to even make that arguement. In my opinion thats ignorant. You speaking on something you lack knowledge on. I can just tell you what i think the OS will be. You also have no idea how much i have contributed to this community. Don't let post counts and statuses fool you my friend.

lol and you to me have no idea, and if speaking about something I have no idea about it ignorant, then everyone person in here who talks about WM7 is ignorant. Is that what your saying?

No because everyone else isn't speaking like they have facts, it's all speculation. You talk like you know facts and as if you have played with and seen WM 7. How do you know what the start menu, home screen or anything else will look like?? You don't so how do you know that some of the stuff incorporated in 6.5 will be dropped and "a waste" as you call it. I have seen many leaked pictures and there has been more then one type of home screen. And to speak on the start menu button you were talking about in the other thread. The button has nothing to do with if the OS can run on the device, it's just a requirment on microsofts end because the button will trigger something in the OS. Like maybe the start menu or something who knows. It may even take you to the market place which i can gurantee you will be in WM 7.

Well you were the one speaking like you know....so I thought I would as well, and I looked at spy pics from what WM7 could be

ANd if you don't remember, you were the one that said 6.5 was being incorporated....so you were being ignorant saying that

I never said it WOULD be i said it could be and i see your stuck on that word ignorant lol. I never once said i know for sure. You are the one telling us what will not be included in WM7 and how WM 6.5 is a waste. We haven't even fully used 6.5 yet. We don't have the marketplace which will be major and 6.5 is suppose to release with the tell me voice command service which will also be great. But hey maybe you can read the future or something lol.

Edit: and they only thing i guranteed is that the marketplace will be included in WM 7 and you can quote me on that. They aren't putting all this work into it for nothing

I for one just wana know if there is life on that saturn moon! Wouldn't it be cool?? think about it. All the money used to develope OS's would be diverted to bringing home oversized guppies from that under ice ocean to study and breed!

Well I for one have NOT used or SEEN WM7 in any shape or form so I will keep the comments to my self about it till we have a working beta in hand. I have tried 6.5 and I like it. Just not in it's current form. I use sprint and I happen to like sprint tv, gps, and some of the extras it provides but it's a hit and miss with current 6.5 roms whether they will work or not. I mean, on some roms they work fabulous but on others they crash the phone. And it always turns out that when I love a particular rom, some of the features don't work and/or has bugs that make me itch. So I actually am running stock 6.1 with just a few visual enhancments and couldn't be happier. Why? Because it works. It's not perfect, but when I want to use something, it just works.

I do have a second TP (not activated) to test and play around with to see what is better for me. Like I said in a previous post, everyone has thier own different taste. I may like your taste and you may like mine, but it all boils down to what YOU like. There is no wrong in liking what you like. I, personally, don't like google. I do not use ANY of there services if I don't have to. I try to steer clear. As for android, I have played with a working G1 with OS 1.5 and to be honest, I don't like it. Not because it's not WM, but because I don't like the way it feels, looks, and operates. But that is strictly my view of it. I know WM is not the only thing out there, and I'm glad for that actually. Gives M$ a chance to say OH SH** we need to do something!! But I for one, will stick with WM till something better comes about that obliterates M$'s OS. Might be next year, might be 5 years, but until then, I will stick with a tried n true OS.
