I sold it. Though love Microsoft products that I own such as Windows 7, Zune HD, Office 07. But Windows Mobile today is just not what it capable of being today and even Steve Ballmer admits it. Windows Mobile 6.5 is very much like a Vista to me "just ok, does the job" but they really need to bring out all the things they learn with Vista to Windows 7 experience into Windows Mobile 7 and then they will unarguably succeed.

I can say without a doubt that Windows Mobile is dying. Android, Palm and Apple have the market and Microsoft has somehow let it slip away. Their OS is clunky feeling, crashes and just downright slow. The user experience is awful.</p> Good article. I can say without a doubt that Windows Mobile is dying.

Their share of the smartphone market has shrunken to barely anything and it's only going to get worse, by the time 7 rolls around, a next-gen iPhone and hot new Android hardware will be mopping up. <br /> <br />Too little too late, Microsoft.

Too little too late, Microsoft.
