[citation][nom]Vladislaus[/nom]Actually the past versions of Windows Mobile were good for the time they were launched. The problem was that Microsoft rested on it's laurels much like nokia did, At the time Microsoft and Nokia dominated on it's respective markets and now are loosing market share every passing day for that mistake. Or have you forgotten that Microsoft first smartphone OS was launched in 2001, 6 years before apple.[/citation]
No, actually, they were not good. They were quite horrible as a matter of fact. I was working at Compaq Computers in 2003, remember them? (or are you too young to remember?) They gave me a shiny new Compaq iPaq phone. It ran Windows Mobile 2003. It was one of the first PDA / Phone devices on the market. It sucked royal ass. Most of my co-workers at the time agreed. Nothing worked right in Windows Mobile, it crashed and locked up ALL the time. Sorry, Microsoft has an abysmal track record when it comes to Mobile devices. Yes they've been making them for many years - and nobody buys them.
