I'm trying to "hold on". Just ordered a T-Mobile TP2 today and installing the 6.5 update released by HTC (hopefully it works. I could care less about the TMO branded changes). If the TP2 proves to be a lot better than the Wing, then I may be able to wait. Still, that is such a long time to me. If the TP2 doesn't do it, then I'm holding out a couple more months for the new touch screen blackberry with physical keyboard coming in December (confirmed by a T-Mobile rep last week).

I like Windows Mobile because it has the best Exchange support IMO (something I use frequently), and I love the "tap and hold" pop-up menu functionality for everything. No other mobile OS has that.

The lack of devices with touch screen + physical keyboard + good Exchange support has been the only reason I've stayed with Windows Mobile since the new gen of iPhone, Blackerry's & Pre's were released. There's always been something major missing from each platform, and blackberry just may be the first platform to sway me.

I've stayed with Microsoft's mobile platform since the Phillips Nino running Windows CE (!), and very excited for Windows Mobile 7. Microsoft can't afford to mess this up. By October of next year, there will be new updates to existing mobile platforms, so Microsoft can't fall short in any area.

We'll see what happens. I'll try to "get by" with 6.5 for another year. I may fold though
