The primary reason why HD2 won't get the Windows Phone 7 update is that it has got a microSD slot and more than three buttons. But even if WM6.5 is obsolete it isn't dead yet - there is too much software for WM. And also HD2 will run Android one day anyway.
Well, because, as I already mentioned, it disallows everything I loved about my previous Windows Mobile phones (And in past 6 years I owned HTC Wallaby, Himalaya, Blue Angel, Universal, Advantage and Blackstone).
What I dislike, no, actually hate about Windows Phone 7: - No memory cards - No file system access - No copy and paste - No multitasking
I want a smart phone, not a dumb and expensive brick with a touchscreen. If I wanted such a thing I could have bought an iPhone years ago. Come on, even my Franklin Ebookman from 10 years ago and with its puny 24 mhz cpu was able do all that.
The HD2 has great hardware but won't run Windows Phone 7 series.
That is actually a feature. Windows Phone 7 lacks everything that made Windows Mobile bearable or even good. I intend to use WM6.5 as long as possible.
His point was that "The iphone still rules the "total experience dept"" is a subjective observation, and his argument for that was good enough to support it.
So, basically a 7.4 to the maximum of 10.10 percent unemployment rate magically becomes 10 to 20 percent (basically twice as much) just because you say so? Then you talk about difficulties to get stability in a regulated socialist economy, at the same time giving examples of the very stable unemployment rate in France and the lack of the said stability in the USA.
And then you call me uninformed? Gosh! Either you are a professional liar or downright stupid.
Dude, maybe you should just stop thinking, because thinking doesn't work very well for you. I mean, 10-20 percent? You are basically saying that you don't have any hard data and just pulling some number out of your arse, then adding that the figure might be twice as high. Well, I've got news for you. In 2008 the unemployment rate in France was at 7.9%. Now the unemployment rate in France is 9.7%, which is exactly the same rate as in the USA. Judging from your other postings here you are just a selfish prick who has missed his flight and had to stay in Frankfurt/Main. Dude, as someone who lives in Frankfurt, I can only say that I am very glad that you finally went back from whence you came. It is people like you who give Americans a bad name.
Too bad that you don't care about turn-by-turn navigation, since Windows Mobile was the primary platform for this kind of software for almost a decade and still has got the widest selection of navigation software.
Well, if I use the same logic, I might ask you what web page is so important so you need the iPhone in first place and can't wait until you are back on your desktop/laptop to surf the web. I use my PDA phone as a mobile computer - as a laptop alternative if you want - not as an appliance, so I'll have stay with Windows Mobile < WM7 for as long as possible.
As a German reader, I probably can answer this question. We read them by recognising the individual words. I suppose it is like you would read a normal sentence written without spaces.
With more and more.NET applications it will be even easier. Even now I can write applications that work on Windows and Windows CE (ARM) without recompiling.
Oh come on. I owned a Mosin rifle some years ago (the finnish version, which is somewhat better). It is nothing special and was nothing special at the time of its introduction. Actually, it was backwards in some ways, using rimmed ammo because Russian Empire couldn't afford advanced machinery for making rimless cartridges.
If you want to take a look at a truly innovative bolt action rifle of the late 19th century, take a Swiss Schmidt-Rubin.
Who are you trying to bullshit? These "plans" and expectations had nothing to do with reality. Even in 1990 the Soviet population was less than 300 millions.
Compare it to the German population - it was at 65 millions right after the war, 65 years later it is at 82 millions - and that is in a much prosper state with a much higher life expectation.
Pre Soviet Russia was not a backwards agrarian society, any more than other states were.
Uh, wrong. The Russian Empire was - compared to the rest of Europe - a backwards agrarian state with a huge percentage of illiterates, almost no industrial base (nearly all machines had to be imported from Britain and Germany), crazy cultists who've cutted off their own dicks and an absolute monarchy comparable to the French monarchy just before the revolution.
The soviets were so powerful, they signed a pact with Nazi Germany
Also wrong. The pact was only because both Germany and the Soviet Union were isolated by the rest of the world.
and in the case of Poland, decided to go join the fun
Poland likes itself in the victim role, but the truth is that Poland itself has invaded the USSR in the 1919, occupying western Ukraine, a huge part of Belarus and a good half of Lithuania. The division of Poland between Nazi Germany and the USSR was pretty much the revenge.
The rest of your argumentation is even more laughable (OMG the evil communist AK47!!!1111one one one eleven)
It also butchered it's own people by the 10's of millions.
It has not. Simply by the fact that the USSR was able to sustain the population after the second world war. FYI the soviet losses in the WW2 were about 20 millions. The total population of the whole USSR was about 100 millions in 1920ies. If there really were tens of millions butchered then by 1945 the USSR would have a population of 50 millions or less. Frankly, it was not the case.
And yes, russian empire was as backwards as it gets.
I've got astigmatism, too, but watching Avatar in 3d was awesome (albeit having to wear two pairs of glasses wasn't fun). Watching Coraline 3d with red/cyan glasses was painful, though.
You forget one thing, though. Shooters are generally standing in a very stable stance exactly for the reason not being knocked down. Try a less stable stance and the recoil might just knock you off your feet.
Actually, that America you miss so much never existed in first place. Back then the propaganda machine was working on full power, nowadays the PTB doesn't seem to care much about appearances, mostly because the USSR is gone.

In Europe the market share of Windows Mobile is higher, although not as high as it was. Still higher as Android, though.

There are many people out there who do like Windows Mobile (not WM7, that is).

It surely sounds like that, but then again, you start in a Jenner in this mission and a Jenner weighs only 35 tonnes.
More features while still being fast and very configurable.
Yes, AIMP2.
As a German reader, I probably can answer this question. We read them by recognising the individual words. I suppose it is like you would read a normal sentence written without spaces.
Not true. PalmOS was worse, much worse actually, and that is why Windows Mobile was able to kill it.
I'll rather have that arcology in Cairo.

Use a voice-enabled turn-to-turn navigation and enter the destination before you start driving.
