My comment was in reply to the OP - I sincerely hope that MS pulls one off because the smartphone market is pretty much suck right now. There are a bazillion WM phones and they all suck. We either need Android on the variety of phones that WM was available on or we need WM to not suck anymore.]]>Jan 8th 2010 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/

Anyway... can't wait to see what Microsoft has for us! HTC can only do so much to hide the ugly (although very functional, no complaints there).]]>Jan 8th 2010 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/Jan 8th 2010 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/

If the minimum hardware specs are as leaked in the spring...
http://www.rgbfilter.com/?p=815
Then the HD2 meets all the requirements except for the the amount of Flash memory (supposed to be 1GB+ for WM7, HD2 has about half that).

I'd say it probably will, but since I'm on contract until March anyways, I'm going to wait until MWC to see what the scoop is. I've been debating a WM phone or Android... in either case it's probably going to be an HTC phone with Sense on it.]]>Jan 8th 2010 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/But, honestly, I'd rather get a HD2 with hardware keyboard.

It's not surprising to me that they don't unveil a new device. Apple is both hardware and software. They have a closed system, which makes it much easier for them to announce new gadgets, since they are actually making them. Microsoft has to rely mainly on the production capabilities and imagination of their partners.

The Windows Mobile front has more potential of the "ooh aah factor" because smart phones are the latest craze, and MS's partners (like HTC) are putting their own touches of flair on the devices that run it.

I'm really looking forward to what MS has to offer on the mobile front.]]>Jan 8th 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/

Their biggest problem is that they dont TALK enough. They need saturation advertising on TV and MAJOR mainstream sites.

They simply never needed to engage in PR with WM because it was never meant to be a consumer OS, so advertising in business trade publications was more than enough.

No more of that. They need to be on offense, and they need to learn from Motorola and Verizon as to how to get major buzz going for a phone in a media with too many Apple-worshiping "journalists".]]>Jan 8th 2010 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/Jan 8th 2010 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/Jan 8th 2010 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/windows-mobile-7-coming-to-mwc-in-february-not-just-evolutiona/"

how about MS actually fixing WinMo's rotten, 10+ year legacy API frameworks and updating that ancient CE kernel instead of letting HTC throw more lipstick on that hideous GUI. No amount of Tegra or high/rez OLED hardware is going to make up for those severe deficiencies.
