I can respect that more than the folding phones that try to pretend the hinge is invisible.

Windows Mobile was really good and they had like 30% marketshare when they decided to give tens of millions of windows mobile users the middle finger and make their poo poo windows 8 lookin phone OS incompatible with every app ever made They'd still be in the game if not for that, especially with devices with more ram were coming out

i worked on porting a windows mobile app to ios for a company once. the previous dev was using sms to send messages to/from the device, because windows mobile let applications read all your messages and send/receive them on your behalf.

I had a windows mobile 6 and the honeycomb menu started lagging so badly it would take 10 seconds for it to register any tap on the screen.

Windows mobile5/6.5 ,WinCE, whatever it was called on my HTC Touch Pro 2. the honeycomb menu was wack but that's what I loved about windows mobile, you could customize the "my home" screen or whatever they called it. I would go as far as to say it might have been even more customizable than android is. i would have all my email accounts on the home screen with the email address and unread email numbers, and it took up almost no space (Windows Phone 7 is the antithesis of this; lets gently caress up all your screen real estate with huge gaudy icons and no info). i had just bought my first smartphone, a blackberry something (the one that somehow didn't have wifi) and a coworker told me I was nuts and to get a windows mobile phone especially since i'm such a technoweenie. the thing that sold me was when he told me i could literally copy and paste the entire contents of my car's GPS onto the phone and it would run it. my mind blew when I did that and sure enough it worked. i was running torrent apps on my phone in 2008, it owned so much. any program you could think of, someone already made for it, usually back in the winCE days; it didn't matter, it was all compatible. the things that held it back were a resisitive touch screen and pathetically small amounts of ram. i think the largest RAM windows mobile device topped out at 256mb. i remember when I would use my GPS and audiobooks player at the same time while i was driving, the audiobooks program force close due to lack of ram. i was praying a 512mb of ram phone would have come out before windows decided to ditch the OS but that never happened. right before killing mobile 6.5 they actually had an app store. i remember buy Sonic Spinball from it. anyway i think if they would have released a phone with decent ram and a capicitive touch screen they would still be in the game today but somehow microsoft didn't get the memo that the only reason anybody uses their stuff is customobility and backwards compatibility

if you count their legacy support contracts for embedded devices I'd guess that winmo 6.5 outlasted all the attempts to replace it
