Maybe it's about OEM's. Especially when it comes to the form factor. But there are some very core problems to WM6 that can't be blamed / solved by OEM's.

Competition has really demonstrated the flaws of WM. Look at the media player for WM - WMP is a total joke. The HTC version is a step up, but are missing basic features like 'VIDEO'. OS upgrades & patches come out like once a year, or just never. Very few WM devices feature video acceleration, so most games are quite basic. I can't actually 'turn my phone off'. The list goes on.

I guess the only thing that upsets me is how MSFT takes a lot of time and effort building an ecosystem - Developers, OEM's, websites like this one, software vendors, etc, and proceeds to leave them hanging.

It does seem that the 'pre-phone' mobile Os'es have had a painful transition, doesn't it?
