    In reply to Microsoft On Phone Hardware: "No, We're Not Going To Do That"
    Microsoft's been consistently cagey about whether or not they'll make their own phone hardware "like Zune and Xbox"

    how can something be both 'surprisingly good yet notoriously unpopular' AND 'amazingly shitty and incredibly popular'?

    they seem mutually exclusive to me.

    In reply to Microsoft On Phone Hardware: "No, We're Not Going To Do That"
    Am I missing something? Because the quotes provided in the article aren't denials of a phone at all.

    "We're not going to discuss the rumors"

    is not the same as

    "We're not going to make a phone".

    Did the writer paste the wrong quote or something?

    *Sigh*

    All we need is another damn phone crowding the market. It's getting to the point where I can keep track.

    @clak: There isn't much necessity to keep track of all those phones out there, unless your preferences are as wide as the spectrum extends. If I were in the market for a smartphone right now, there's just a small handful of phones that I'd ever really seriously consider. If I were getting a "dumbphone", again, there's not that many different kinds that I'd care to look at (I will not buy that freebie crap). Your specific tastes/requirements will determine how wide a range you're willing to sift through. If you're very particular, chances are you will only ever be considering a variety that could fit in the cup of both hands.

    That's kinda lame. I'd never have written Moonbase wars if it meant I'd have to pay $99.00 just to distribute it. I doubt anyone will distribute any freeware if it costs $$$ to do so.

    In reply to Windows Mobile 6.5 Hands On: The New Interface Rocks
    I'm not impressed. First of all, the whole thing seems very sluggish.. and that on a presentation model.. immagine on a normal phone after a few weeks of use.

    The interface has no logic to it; the honeycomb design is unnecessarily complex; the UI is half Zune, half something else... it will become annoying once the novelty effect has worn off.


    Fail.

    You can't have 2 finger gestures because of the patent apple has I believe. the htc phones are capable of the 2 finger gestures, they just can't use them due to apple's patent on it i believe

    see, guys. this is what happens when you constantly call out diaz on being biased against WM and loving only apple and fishnet stockings. he swings too far to the right at the next opportunity so as to portray some sort of balance. it's ok, diaz. you can say what you want around me without fear of repercussions. and you still look great in those stockings.

    I don't understand why you said that the scrolling is really smooth, it isn't. It's pretty choppy but I thought that it was like that because it's still under development but I guess that's as good as it's going to get.

    Can you be any more negative and biased? Jesus Christ.

    If I was sent to Barcelona to report on toys I'd be a little happier than this. Enjoy the Catalan cuisine.
