I have an HD2. So glad that the guys at xda-devs are getting closer to getting Android on it, as WinMo 6.5 is awful - made even worse by HTC's gorgeous but bloated "Sense" UI.
Not only that, but the HD2 isn't getting an official upgrade to 7 Series either. So I'm shafted until my contract runs out next May.
How can you have a level of enforcement on something that's already illegal? Banning smoking in public places worked, because it was previously legal to smoke in public places. It's never been legal to shoot up in a supermarket.
I'm all for giving Microsoft a chance with Windows Mobile 7 (or whatever they're calling it) but as someone who has used phones & gadgets running Android, Symbian & Apple embedded OSes, as well as various incarnations of Windows Mobile on HTC and iPAQ devices, I just don't believe Windows is a suitable OS for embedded devices. The rest "just work", Windows devices need rebooting once a month or so, they sometimes slow to a crawl occasionally for no readily apparent reason & there always deployed far too bloated with no easy way of removing the trash you don't need.
Have you actually read anything about 7 Series? It's a complete reincarnation of WinMo.
Of course, whether it needs regular reboots or random slowdowns or not still remains to be seen. But MS seem to be going more towards the Apple route of locking down the core OS - this would be stupid if the fundamentals of the OS were crap.

Looks like they've brought it back, with an option to remove it and show the normal page. I'm happy.
I think it was a penis joke.
About two hours late there, buddy.
But really, what has this story got to do with BP?
Not a problem!
You mean the shoddy PS3 ports they authorized once, realised how shoddy they were and then never touched again?
