It shows a good deal of promise for feature-phone upgraders. I'm inclined to switch to Android next time - if I wanted a "walled garden" I'd go to Apple's, not Microsoft's. Doug

Seen on zdnet: Daou said the Softies are not necessarily counting on stealing share from Nokia, RIM, Apple or any of the Android handset vendors. Nor are they relying solely on the installed Windows Mobile phone base to upgrade to Windows Phone 7. Instead, Microsoft officials are claiming that...

Will Microsoft's Iphone envy punt away the enterprise? http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=31946 Doug

Another interesting article on this line ... http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/26/confirmed-windows-mobile-6-5-to-become-windows-phone-starter-ed/ Doug

Yah, it's probably still out there, and there's fring as another option. I wasn't aware of the Verizon deal, as I'm an ATT user. Here's another take on it: http://blogs.zdnet.com/mobile-gadgeteer/?p=2569 Doug

With the spectre of WM7 on the horizon, and its complete reboot of the WM franchise, is WM6 roadkill now? For example, that Skype for WM6 has been discontinued: http://www.wmexperts.com/skype-discontinued-windows-mobile That Adobe is passing on Flash for WM6, waiting for WM7...

The hubbub over iPad was ridiculous - no Flash - no multitasking - no camera - no MicroSD slot - ATT - and a funky SIM that is better than a network lock at keeping control No thanks. Doug

Given the front-page article today (1/17/2010) on Windows Mobile 7 and the potential of "clean break" and incompatibility with current apps, I may be leaving WM after all - once I wear out my Tilt2, which is going to take quite a while. Doug

I just bought Basic4PPC, so I'm going to stay with WM for a while longer. Doug

Now that Iris is owned by RIM, I'd like to see a supported WM webkit-based browser again. I'm running into an occasional mobile site that doesn't seem to work quite right with Skyfire, Opera or IE. Doug

At this point, next phone will be: - Tilt/Touch Pro 2 (or successor) - multiple carriers, I may say with ATT - Droid (Verizon) - Imagio (Verizon - although WHY did they leave out a flash?) - HD2 (if it comes to Verizon or ATT) I really DO like WM, and I'm starting to do development for it. The...

If it was ATT (which I have) or Verizon (which I would switch to) I'd be falling over myself for it (even though it doesn't have a physical keyboard). T-Mobile is a non-starter for me. Doug

Except that it will be T-Mobile :( Doug

Windows Mobile was my first smartphone - I started with a Blackjack 2, then a friend gave me his Fuze (Touchpro) when he got a Tilt2 (Touch Pro2). However, before that I had experience with various PalmOS PDA's, starting with a Palm3, M100, Zire, and most recently a TX. So, I have experience...

I used PocketTwit on my BJII non-touch phone (and still use it now, on a Fuze). I tried Twikini and didn't like it by comparison. Doug
