I am far happier with my HTC Touch than I would have been had I chosen the iPhone. Almost everyone at work has an iPhone I hear complaints about the service, lack of removable battery and memory card, and restrictions about what software can be installed.

Is this only WebOS or does the Palm share include Palm OS.

I wonder how prices of WinMo devices will continue this year, as I've already seen moderate declines in the price of the unlocked Touch Pro 2 of recent. My gut feeling says sales will simply flop.

Time to look for a bargain in the coming months? Maybe.

The comment that Microsoft is "poised for gains" is a bit of crystal ball gazing. I don't think it will happen.

Microsoft's WP7S is still a long way from getting to market, and when it comes, it will have relatively few handsets on the market. Android already has 60 devices on the market and that will be much higher when WP7S finally shows up.

Microsoft is simply too late to market with this product. It will fail because it will lack the software applications of the other platforms (Android and iPhone app stores are now both huge). Microsoft's WP7S simply won't have enough handsets selling to create a viable developer ecosystem. Developers will remain focused on iPhone and Android.

You don't expect Nokia to make any inroads? With Symbian^3 and MeeGo phones coming out this year? They have already released a phone with T-Mobile and I would assume there would be more with AT&T and T-Mobile coming up. Free offline nagivation with Ovi Maps could be useful if the carriers don't require the mandatory smartphone data plan.
