Kind of a big announcement from Microsoft and LG at MWC just now -- LG's going to make Windows Mobile its primary smartphone operating system, and it sounds like there's going to be some serious cash involved from both sides to make it happen. No specific device plans yet, but that's going to change big fast -- LG's going to drop 50 (!) WinMo handsets on us through 2012. Yikes. Hope you're ready for some S-Class WinMo action, guys.
I would thing lg picked windows mobile because they can tailor it to what they want it to be. They can put any user interface they want ontop of it and its very customizable by the user of the phone.
There are also very good gui's that go ontop of windows mobile that make it much better. Take for instance pointui
We all know why you people bash Windows Mobile so much.
But remember that the same thing was done with Vista and look
how Microsoft have surprise all of us with Windows 7. They can do
the same thing with WinMo.
All the haters for iphone calling them iphone fanboys...get one thing straight...we all want better phones. I for one am an avid iphone user since the day it came out with the 2G...one year later...not a day or a month or a week later, like winmo phones come out...the iphone 3G came out with far better GPS and a usable screen...I agree that it lacks features but for the love of god...jailbreak the device and then use it and then copy/paste, video recorder, and air mouse and wireless keyboard oh yeah and wireless tethering for free are all features that my little neice can use...pda net is the most useful tethering option available on the planet and not only that it uses my iphone wirelessly to tether to my notebook wirelessly and its free but i recommend donating as I have to support the geniuses behind the app. these three features alone make my iphone way more useable than any winmo phone...the only thing I am waiting for is HD screen resolution which any idiot with two cents of common sense knows will be out this june...apple tv has hd so will this with support for it..it should also have a much higher resolution video camera with support. Now look at the build quality as well...Both versions have the most superior build quality of a phone to date with maybe the exception of the nokia N series of phones....Now I got a little bored and decided to switch to windows mobile and I switched to the best device at the time the winmo community has been talking about seeing as how I could have chosen from countless handsets but I switched to the Fuze or Touch Diamond Pro as its called oversees. You know what...the first thing I had to do is remove all that crapware ATT puts on their phone and i went over to XDA developers and flashed it with their latest and greatest ROMS...I tested three and let me tell you they all work fine for most of the day and then crap...the same experience I have always had with windows mobile...crap or it slowed down or no button worked.. I love the TF3D but until the device seriously is able to support the OS then the only option available to a smart phone user out there is the IPHONE 3G...so dont' tell me i haven't tested it or flashed it or did this or did that...I pretty much did everything and within one week of seriously testing i switched back so fast its not even funny. Fernando, don't listen to these idiots because they just think they have the coolest shitty OS out there whent he truth of the matter is Apple is developing the next best thing coming out this June. the damn HTC touch diamond pro just got released in the states and they already have a touchpro2 our from HTC...that shows you how fast these other hardware makers are working in order to achieve what one phone has done in just one model...just imaging if we had that many new iphones out all the time...just stupid in my opinion as are most users on these forums...
thats gonna mean no Android
