I couldn't agree more. At this point, MS should just scrap everything and go back to the drawing board for its phone/PDA OS. Of course they would keep Windows CE to run various CE devices as that seems to be ok, but Windows Mobile itself is bogged down with over 10 years of legacy code and backwards compatibility issues, and IMO this hurts the end user experience and even in some cases cripples functionality (alarms still don't work? really?; no wireless sync via ActiveSync or WMDC when they used to have it 5 years ago? memory and multi-tasking issues that can prevent the core functionality (i.e. the phone) from being 100% reliable and always ready to go?).

I'm sure if they did a Zune phone or an XBox phone, it would come out being a much better consumer product than WM phones currently are, even though it might not be what so-called "power users" are after.
