    In reply to Ballmer on the Smartphone Race: "It Doesn't Matter What the Critics Say"
    Interesting theory about the blurring line between critics and customers, Wilson. But is it right?

    If the Nokia's smartphones are generally dismissed by critics yet still capture a plurality of the marketshare, that kind of suggests your theory is wrong.

    Stepping back from cold reality, I think there will always be a distinction between the critic (professional or otherwise) and the rest of the customer base. We go to critics and reviewers for many things because there is too much choice in this world and not enough time. The Internet doesn't change this. And if people unerringly followed the advice of critics, Michael Bay would be out of a job. #steveballmer

    Odd, considering their latest Windows 7 ad blitz consists of nothing but a cute tiny asian kid quoting all the great things critics are saying about Windows. (Including Gizmodo, at least in the original version of the commercial.) #steveballmer

    @Tawnie is noddin' her head like Yeah!: Why? What is it about Android that has you more excited than Windows 6.5? This is a serious question because I love my WinMo phone (custom ROMs etc..) and really want to know what I'm missing because the only Android phone I've played with (TMo G1) seemed "clunky" to me... #steveballmer

    In reply to Windows Mobile 6.5.1: Must...Keep...Polishing
    Are there really people around here waiting for 6.5.1? I would have to assume the people out there using WinMo either have to or are waiting out their contract.

    We all know the new WinMo is coming, but until then, I see no point in even bothering to give 6.5 any air play. It's like continuing to put out reviews in reference to XP if a new SP hit.

    Then again, it wouldn't be the first time I was way off the mark.

    Personally, if I still had my Treo, I still wouldn't care. My Treo did what it was supposed to, contacts, viewing of office docs, email, and make calls (Live was pretty cool). Most of the other features didn't work too well, but I didn't need them so I didn't really care. #windowsmobile651

    @UnderLoK: dear god did you say treo??

    wow, i hate treos w/a passion since i have to support them (650, meh; 700P or 700W were a nightmare to support)

    yea, winmo 6.x is just a total clusterf#$k of fail imo.

    hope winmo7 brings the finger touch game. just wish microsoft would do like android and apple; not allow nearly as much carrier customizations. those carrier addon crap just kills the os for things you'd never use.

    @seamonkey420: I wouldn't say a Treo is good by today's standards, but I honestly didn't have any issues with mine nor any of the other guys I worked with (we were all issued Treo's).

    Sure once a month it would lockup, but the last phone I had that didn't lock up once in awhile was a 2way Nextel from Moto (4+ years ago).

    By and large I agree they have sucked for awhile, but our 700's were fine. Maybe just dumb luck?
