Just remember this, WM has been around for 10 years now....iPhone has been around for 3....and it's already surp***** WM imo, and there's 1 thing that stands are among iPhone and WM

WM can't get it right the first time so they have to bring a new build out of 6.1 and 6.5 every week, given 6.5 isn't completely finished, but my god at the rate it's going it will be in the 24***'s before it's even close to being finished

iPhone 3.0 is amazing, and 4.0 will be the beginning of 4G I would think....but that will come after Sprint gets it

I mean, their first version and device (G1) broke sales records and was deemed the best thing out there, and once Hero comes out it will further advance the Android world.

Still Android is not the only thing, there is Palm, which is quickly becoming a top competitor to BlackBerry now since it's resent release of the Palm Pre.

BlackBerry had a huge hit with the Storm, but they limited it to Verizon which hurt them....they have much much more support for their OS then WM does, sadly...it's true

And last but very very not least iPhone....ok they didn't have copy/paste, they didn't have MMS, they didn't even have video....o but wait!!! WM didn't have MMS for a very long time. Then when we did it it, they took it away....but now it's back. Copy/paste, I mean really do y'all even use it on a PPC? I find it much easier just to type the thing over again then trying to select the text then holding it down copying it, then pasting it else where, and video....lol don't even get me started (but I will....) Let's not forget how horrible our devices are at video and picture taking. Up until the Diamond, no phone really could take a great quality picture or video, and the Diamond still can't....the next device that will defy the odds is the FireStone with a 5MP camera....And also the iPhone has alot more support then we do....again sadly but true, their app store is the most genius thing a person has ever created for any device ever

Not only can people post their apps, but they are being sold as well for real money....that's why their stuff is better and why Pandora is on iPhone not WM, because of the money, given WM is trying to make their own "MarketPlace" for WM6.5, a copy of iPhones, but then again is it ever coming? And will it even be worth it? I mean really who is going to want to buy an app from MS, when you can get it from someone else on XDA who made it themselves and updates it constantly, for free???

So that's why WM will fail, not because they made WM6, then 6.1 right after, then WM 6.5 a year after that(which is understandable), but then bringing WM7 out in 2010, and thats if it even gets here, my bet is it doesn't make it to our devices officially by 2011 because of the lack of motivation by MS for WM

WebOS can has tons of potential.
I hate android since it's just a smartphone with google.
I can go to google on my own and not have them track everything I do on my phone(ya I know you can shut that off with hacks, but still, that's bs.)
WebOS' phone (pre) sucks, I hate the keyboard, and no sd? Come on now, that's like not haveing picture messaging....

well they do do alot more things than just WM.
but I think they need more people working on it IMO.

Seems a lot of ppl keep forgetting that every winmo phone out right now cap out at winmo 6.5! I can just image they skipping winmo 6.5 leaving up high and dry with just 6.1 and than if you wanted winmo 7 get a new phone as long as winmo 6.1 been out. Come on guys and gals ppl would have been ready to raid M$ HQ and you know it and not to be funny but its winmo ppl why do you need an app store when 1. Most apps/programs ppl make is free! 2. Make ya own apps than install right on your phone don't need to jailbreak your phone or get some "company" to approve it. Come on ppl its winmo we got it made in the shade with lemonade IMO

tp2 is suppose to get a wm7 upgrade when wm7 is out.
TP2 is technically out already, just not in the U.S.

Sounds to me like you want an iphone.
Go get one then and stop trying to justify it to us.

[ricchini2007]

wm is great just download mighty rom and see the difference. if u dont like wm go buy an iphone lol!

[Batman]

i like winmo cause all the stuff you can do with it and all the phones you can choose from..

android only has 2(?) phones and the os seems plain to me..

and apple only has 1 phone with the most boring interface..

so +1 for winmo

Any OS goes through multiple test phases before it's finished. The consumer just normally doesn't get to use them. Thanks the XDA and PPC geeks we get to see them in the test phase. I don't look at that as a negative. I'm sure Apple had many versions before it became final and even they have already release a few OS upgrades. You sound like you just want an iphone if you do go get one lol. This is the last place you need to try and convince people which is better. The site is named PPC for a reason haha

[horndoctor]

I'm makin my own ppc right now.
I call it the Hornyphone.
wadauthink?

lol watch out ladies!

Exactly Young Breedent. This is definately the last place to try to convince us that the Iphone is great. But I think the 1st gen Iphone was the test subject, considering it was totally stripped of all useful features. But the crapple heads still bought it and now are saying in mid 2009....we have video now...beat that WinMo users....I just laugh and say, here use this killer picture as your home screen backdrop...wait, you can't, sorry!! But they do have that nifty compass. crapple heads, the batt doesn't last that long, so it being a useful tool while hiking for 3 or 4 days is a no go! Batts dead, compass is dead....that's the way it is folks! Besides, if your driving and need a compass, you are directionally challenged and should not be walking, let alone driving.....just my 2 cents.

@ codybear sorry to bring the bad news but the touch pro 2 will not be able to upgrade to winmo7 its maxed out with winmo 6.5. Look at the specs NEEDED to run winmo7 than the specs of the tp2 and you will see. In order for any phone to run winmo7 it will be a brand new phone I believe someone feel free to step in and correct me if I'm wrong but from what I was reading winmo 6.5 is the last stop for any phone coming out this year.
