Device of my choice must be not expensive and live days without charging. So... My phone still is Nokia 1100, and after my pocket PC Palm m100 broke, I see nothing that can I want to buy. I'm reading texts and books from my Lbook V3 e-book, and I'm satisfied with it. But I really miss my Palm m100 - and I don't see any replacement. On my opinion smartphone and pocket PC segments doesn't have any device that can become world-popular like Nokia 1100 with (AFAIK) 200,000,000 devices sold. Those who want robust, reliable, long-lasting device - have to wait. I’m not fan of all new phones. Device of my choice must be not expensive and live days without charging. So…

The monthly fees weren't worth it either. I ended up going back to my Razr. My sister just got the 3Gs and it's more a toy than a tool, though she won't admit it. My cousin just dropped his and he's not happy. These things are still a joke and will be for a long time. I had a Moto Q and it ended up being an oversized phone with horrible battery life.

It is because: a) it only keeps increasgin function gap and slim chances to catch up to competition b) Microsoft wants manufacturers to pay for WM in age of establishing free and open source OS for mobile phones It is not about Microsoft cutting HTC, it is about HTC cutting Microsoft. :) WM is failing but it has absolutely nothing to do with iPhone (very few things on global market have).

It is not about Microsoft cutting HTC, it is about HTC cutting Microsoft. :)
