Mini is correct. The reality of Windows Mobile is that the device lives only about a year; then vendor stops supporting it. Even major bugs left unfixed. Rarely we can expect to get official OS version update. The latter I'm afraid is caused by Microsoft itself. Microsoft should have offered uprade for existing devices for free to vendors.
Another thing is the same as for OEM vendors of desktop Windows: crapware. But it's much worse on Windows Mobile because you can't uninstall it. Preinstalled crap takes precious Storage space. After average user installs a couple of apps and downloads a month's worth of email and opens a couple of web pages, typical year 2008 WM6.1 device will have only 2-3MB of Storage memory left. Compare that to 8GB iPhone.
Adding to the mix are idiotic limitations like system default Open File Dialog which is complete garbage and every application vendor has to recode it on its own. That includes MS's own apps like Pocket Word.
