Ok for one, I'm going to make this post simple....
Basically windows mobile, and the companies that manufacture phones for windows mobile OS, along with the companies that sell them (i.e verizon or something) Have had sales plumet to the ground apon the release of the iphone.
Their comeback: The HTC Touch
Now lets make this an obvious factor, windows mobile is a very slow and unstable os for any cellphone.
Windows Mobile does a lot of neat stuff, and one day maybe a very good fast running os for a phone, but not now; and not in the past.
Ive used windows mobile devices for years before the iPhone came out, and it was great. But it locked up alot, and slowed down the more applications I opened.
The new htc touch, hmmm... well it's running windows mobile, and then they added another program that must run all the time, called Touch, another word for big fancy stuck over windows blinds program. that's a pretty hefty call for ram and processing.
I would also like to add a note about the lovely keyboard they have installed. Instead of a full keyboard, it's a duel digit, (another words having to hit the same key twice to get the letter you want) Sounds like a candy bar phone on crack.
They have also applied the speaker to the back of the phone: most likely to be covered by some cute case, with sparkles and glitter all over it; or even the inside of your pocket.
The interface design is some what simple, but then they added all kinda little stuff all over the place. This takes up valuable space on a finger touch screen. Oh wait they give you a stylus. (Note: Another thing to keep buying after you buy the phone! Oh how many times I have lost mine - Maybe they will offer them in colors for the cellphone accessories lover.)
In short, this phone would have been freaking awesome if the iphone was never invented. I would have been waiting in line on the day of release hoping to get my hands on one.
But the time of windows mobile devices has come to an end (For now anyway), and a new way more sophisticated design that has made life so much easier has came out shined.
(Note: This post was created for notes on the usability, design, and stability, of the phone. Not what the phone can do, software wise, price wise, or network wise.)
