I guess I just kinda feel sorry for Microsoft when it comes to their efforts in the Windows Mobile space. I have loved some of the stuff they've done, especially in the early Pocket PC days, BEFORE they tried to integrate things and create a mobile phone platform. For an entire decade now, Microsoft has been struggling to find its proper niche in this market and they keep coming up as a follower and not a leader.
How many OTHER companies can you think of that has had SO many opportunities to "get it right" and keeps coming up short? The Kin, IMO, never should have been launched, for example, but Microsoft has had a luxury no other competitor has had -- the ability to repeatedly fail and still continue to TRY to bring a widely-accepted offering.
I wish them luck with Version 7, but I've not put my current phone up for sale on e-Bay just yet, either.
