Apparently producing an iPhone killer has proved far more taxing to these major corps than some folks here imagined.

Killing the iPhone is not important, but learning why it's so popular can be used to their advantage.

Many of the manufacturers have touted their new phones as iPhone killers - just look at that idiot from Palm who predicted that there would be no-one left using the iPhone after the pre launched.
Well, that went well for him.....
Then we have the HTC - [www.iphonekiller.com]
The Nokia N900 - [www.streetlevel.com]
The Nokia 5800 - [www.pmptoday.com]
The Samsung Instinct (or was that extinct) - [blogs.zdnet.com]
The Samsung M800 - [www.electronista.com]
And let's not forget Microsoft - [www.techdigest.tv]

It just seems that if you want to be critical, but not jilted. you wouldn't go to an outlet that focuses almost exclusively on a competitor's products.

If Microsoft has any sense at all, they won't release anything similar to that frumpy telephonic abortion, or its oblong counterpart pictured elsewhere.
It's actually kind of frustrating to see stuff like this drip out of the internals of Microsoft when something as sublime as the Zune HD exist. Just about anyone and everyone intrigued with the device is probably thinking how awesome a cell handset it would be. But with how questionable all of this news is, taking some massive grains of salt helps.

I agree though, its not really worth it to buy a new phone. But if you can snag a decent custom 6.5 Rom off xda-developers for your current phone, then there really is no reason to not update.
Not to mention the 6.5 found on handsets now is indeed a beta build rushed to new handsets and there are newer beta builds out with much better layouts not found on earlier 6.5 builds.

It's honestly just filler since WinMo 7 is taking longer than they anticipate.d Hopefully it'll be worth the wait.

You're like the grown-up Peter Pan at the Neverland party.
Go balance your checkbook or something.

Here's the flat truth: The desire for backwards compatibility and penchant for code re-factoring & supplementing (without *replacing*) has lead Microsoft down a long line of bloated, slow-to-evolve, bug-ridden and code-heavy operating systems.
Windows Mobile suffers the same fate. Why, could they not, since I first purchased my Casio Cassiopeia E115 in 1998, completely scrap their code-base and develop an entirely new architecture? It's not like I could even upgrade my Samsung SCH-i730 from just a few years ago without flashing the ROM (that's assuming the manufacturer custom-coded the upgrade) to even take advantage of a compatible upgrade. Windows Mobile has forced essentially non-backwards compatible upgrades on us for years without ever actually being rearchitected to compete with its quickly evolving and improving competitors. For years ago, the big news was something like "New MS Mobile OS out soon - Who will get the ROM upgrade?" Only a precious few!
How can MS be so ridden with compromises and paradoxes? It's a victim of it's perception that all software development at every level is engineering instead of recognizing it is also a craft which requires truly motivated and inspired programmers to drive innovation. They hit it with the 360, and maybe the ZuneHD and possibly Windows 7, but they have definitely missed on Windows Mobile so far.

Of course we are waiting for 7, but 6.5 isn't that bad. The end of the reiew should read typed on an iphone.

Second, do you somehow think you have used a larger variety of phones than any of those people? Do you really think they dont understand what windows mobile is about (whatever the hell cryptic bs that means) i assume you mean, like making a phone call or failing to surf the internet?
To have such hubris that you think you have more experience than guys who probably interact with 10-15 different smart phones a day, is not only ridiculous, but it screams of an uneducated fanboy just needing to put in his jab cause someone didnt like his poor lil smartphone os made by the biggest software company on the planet who can do nothing but band-aid their old failures and sell it to you.
