Hasn’t Microsoft already mentioned that Windows 6.5.x will still be around for enterprise users and such? I thought they renamed it Windows Mobile Classic or somesuch thing.

I think that looking exclusively towards hardware in search of the superphone is the wrong approach. Surely, hardware will be a necessary foundation, but most of what will be “super” in the superphones of tomorrow is going to be software.

Anything released today with 1.6 Android is behind the curve. Superphones aren’t behind the curve.

One answer your question, Luscious: On a consumer level, no, I wouldn’t recommend WM 6.x to my friends. But on an enterprise level, there are many good reasons companies want to run only WM or BB (security being #1, slow technology turnover and installed base of applications being #2, and more). Until another platform, other than BB, can satisfy the enterprise CIO set, WM6.x will be relevant (i.e. not obsolete).

To be frank, devices like these should’ve started appearing two, three, or even FOUR years ago.

But it didn’t become mainstream because HTC rested on their laurels and kept pumping out weak sauce handhelds with 2.8″ QVGA screens, slower CPUs, the same meager 64 MB of RAM, and a HIGHER price tag than old favorites like the Dell Axim X50v/X51v, HP iPAQ hx4700, Fujitsu/Siemens Pocket LOOX 720 and N560, etc. because they happened to be phones! (Ironically, HTC actually built those Dell and HP models…)

It was only until the iPhone that everyone got a wake-up call and competition started happening again, though I am most certainly not fond of the dumbing-down that seems to be the trend as a result. (points out what Windows Mobile 6.x and prior can do that Windows Phone 7 can’t)

Will the next iPhone cure cancer ?

Rumor has it that Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer, unfortunately Chuck Norris has never cried EVER !

True James, but can you still honestly recommend the WM6.x platform, especially against Android? IMO TMO took a gamble releasing a device that we already know is being bricked by WP7.

Gonna have to break out a new category when the next gen iPhone is unleashed this summer. I’m thinking SuperDuperPhone. This is the Chuck Norris phone. This iPhone will release a bag-o-hurt on the competition. Android fanboys get ready because Cupertino is bringing the pain this summer.
