Hopefully 2007 will be even kinder to us with more innovative hardware and software solutions. On a side note, every time I visit the Windows Mobile website I ask myself the same question over and over: "When will Microsoft stop taunting me with that spiffy looking green homescreen and just release it to the public already?" :lol:

Nor do I. It just increases our odds. :lol:

Also, why do people running these contests tell us to get our friends to enter? That just lowers our odds of winning. T-Mobile did it the right way when giving away the Dash -- for every friend you told about the contest, you got an additional entry. (Well, it's the right way if your friends don't mind getting more E-mail. :D)

I guess it was a limited time offer as I get an error when I follow the link. I even went to the Microsoft Mobile page and tried clicking on the link there and get the same error. :(

It worked for me just now - probably a DNS error with your ISP?
More likely just Microsoft's Web site being flaky. I experienced similar issues linking people to the free 1-Calc Lite (http://www.qusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7505).
