What exactly do you expect from WM? How should it "DAZZLE" you? Do you expect fireworks, peace on earth, or save all the whales and other almost instinct creatures on earth? Following this blog and some others that cover WM I get an impression that most blogers here don't really want WM, they want iPhone, Android, Maemo, or any other trendy OS with a Microsoft logo on it. Some times it's just a hybrid of either all, or some of them. IMHO, WM is WM, that means the most capable OS for smartphones in the market as of today. 6.5 upgrade brought necessary finger friendly action that was missing, but on the other hand took away some things that made Windows unique and useful. From what I understand, you can't create folders to organize your programs that installed on a device anymore, and that's a shame. Now, like with Android, If you need to open some app., you have to fish for it from that program menu, and if you have enough apps installed it make take more time to find what you need! So now, I will find my banking software to some Bubbles game, and skype to sudoki, sex, sync, or whatever else. Not really "user friendly" I would say. Hope it is not true. My point is WM is WM let it be and let it do what it does the best! Not to be some flashy surface to wow teenage girls, but productive platform that can be replacement of my laptop or desktop to some point on the go. And in spite of all the trendy bushing that was going on since iPhone came out it is still the best PRODUCTIVITY mobile platform. Yes it has its pitfalls, but so does iPhone and Android, I know, I have and I use both. Although. I prefer G1 over iPhone, which is pretty much collecting dust in my draw.
