people use there winmo phones for things like work and business. the iPhone is a smartphone that you obviously dont have to be to smart to use]]>Aug 23rd 2009 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/
Despite Microsoft is putting out false info out there about iPhone, the truth is more businesses are adopting the iPhone.
Every surveys show doctors, lawyers, sales people etc have picked iPhone over WinMo phones overwhelmingly. These
people use iPhone for their daily work. Don't believe the fanboys including myself. :) Do a google search and you will know
the truth. Bottom line is WinMo devices have become irrelevant!

YOUR comment is irrelevant.

Keep repeating "WinMo is irrelevant" like it's your mantra if you like but that won't make it a reality. You're completely foolish to count out anyone in the smartphone wars right now when it's only just beginning. But you seem too simple to think beyond what's the coolest phone at the moment.

Whether or not MS will catch up to the front runners, only time will tell but you must be living under a rock if you haven't noticed that MS is on a good and steady run right now what with Windows 7, Zune HD, new stores opening and not to mention all the positive press that the recent builds of WinMo 6.5 is getting.

Yeah WinMo is irrelevant, keep fantasizing buddy. Once you wake up from your dream, you should think about actually taking notice of the real tech scene outside of the "iPhone, omg it's so cool" world.]]>Aug 23rd 2009 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/Aug 23rd 2009 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/Aug 23rd 2009 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/
Stop trashing the specs.

Somehow though, even now, the TouchHD remains my fav and without it I feel naked and unarmed.
As for the Hero , I carry it with me most of the time and in my opinion it's the teachie equivalent of the swiss knife and an awesome piece of electronic engineering too (and I also love its looks); but I spend most of my waking hours driving a car in a country (Denmark) where being spotted by the piggies with a phone in my hands while driving could easily cost me my licence, so until someone will decide to write a voice dialing program for it (possibly with solid BT support) it can't become the primary phone for me or for those unfortunate folks with working patterns and necessities similar to mine.
Unfortunately Android developers atm seem all concentrated in producing burping and farting apps, virtual fish tanks or lava lamps and disco lights for smartphones.
Most people who bought an Hero or a Touch2 would be ready to pay dearly for decent voice dialing app but obviously nobody bothered to tell them.

By the way, when you try and use Windows Mobile to get some shit done, as in actually use it for all your messaging or to manage your schedule, something you can't do on the iPhone (not without a physical keyboard I can't), it's wonderful. People buying WinMo phones and expecting stupid featurephones need to go buy just that, a stupid featurephone. As soon as WinMo 6.5 drops I'm disabling TouchFLO (because it needs a lot more than a 528 MHz Qualcomm, God I hate those things) and just using the native home screen.]]>Aug 23rd 2009 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/
And, actually, if you were dropping "TouchFLO", you'd be dropping the scrolling system, sliding launcher and HTC home combo found on the original HTC Touch, which had a 200Mhz processor.]]>Aug 23rd 2009 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/You can get custom ROMs with WM 6.5 on XDA-Developers. It is WAY better than 6.1! Kinetic scrolling is part of the OS and 95% of all lists can be scrolled by taping and flicking!

So yeah, WebOS has a 'mature' experience (OK, probably not the best term but I'll explain myself). Sure, it's like 6 months old, but anyone who used it knows that Palm didn't waste all those years watching the smartphone business evolve on nothing. Yes, it has quite a bit of polishing to do (Synergy, consistency in navigation and so on). However, the point I was making is that they manage to 'get' what the new crowd of smartphones want these days.

I'm not pretending to be the torchbearer, just look at the number of iPhones sold, and the general expansion of that market. What people are consistently asking for in a smartphone is a big screen, good multimedia features and a good web experience. And mail. But really, apart from that, 'classic' smartphone features like calendar are considered less important.

And Microsoft haven't been able to respond to those changes. So in terms of today's market, winmo isn't mature enough. It's obsolete. And that's why those companies spend all that effort in trying to make it more tolerable.]]>Aug 23rd 2009 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/
The tide is beginning to turn toward Android, however, as 50% of HTC's production portfolio is expected to be comprised of Android devices by 2010, up from 30% in 2009. Should Android prove to be the better investment and WinMo continues to lag, then the numbers will shift even further to Android beyond 2010.

http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/htc-adopting-android-on-50-of-its-handsets-in-2010/]]>Aug 23rd 2009 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/
I agree but I don't think HTC have dedicated as much as 50% or their resources into Android. I think they're doing the sensible thing right now and are testing the waters with Android to see if it's a viable and worthwhile investment for them. To be honest, Android is such a mixed bag in terms of it's actual success thus far so it's hard for anyone to make an accurate prediction. ]]>Aug 23rd 2009 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/"What people are consistently asking for in a smartphone is a big screen, good multimedia features and a good web experience. And mail."

That pretty much describes an HTC Touch HD... One of HTC's more sophisticated products. This phone is a BUDGET smart phone which isn't aimed to compete with their other better quality smartphones.

Also have you forgotten about Blackberries? They most certainly fall under the smartphone category and I found a better web experience, multimedia features, and a bigger screen on a different phone. I kept the Blackberry because I needed it for my own reasons. People buy different phones because each person needs a particular phone with a specific set of functions that suits their own lifestyle.

(By the way the iPhone's expansion in today's global markets isn't all that powerful. Companies like Nokia and HTC are mostly prefered by the mass in many many many countries. The iPhone is only expanding its market very slowly in a global perspective.)]]>Aug 24th 2009 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/Aug 23rd 2009 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/Aug 23rd 2009 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/Aug 23rd 2009 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/Aug 23rd 2009 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/23/htc-mega-materializes-again-brings-along-spec-list/HTC ought to have reserved the product name for a more awesome phone.
