Before the iPhone, we were content with stylus-based interfaces that worked well - mostly - for what you needed to do. Then came the iPhone. From a pure feature perspective, it was (and is) lacking, but it more than makes up for it by being a polished product that's easy to use. The iPhone shook the entire industry up, and while newcomers have done relatively well (webOS, Android) Windows Mobile is now so far left behind you can barely see it any more. Windows Mobile 6.5 is supposed to be the first step towards modernising Windows Mobile - but it fails miserably.

Hey, I thought I was the only one who thought that about 7 vs Vista. Good to know I'm not totally crazy... either that or you're just as nuts as I am 
.
I get this feeling on a lot of Microsoft's products, especially when they're obsessed with deadlines. They seem to put out something that is complete shite and then "fix" it a year or two later to make the new product look good and ring yet more money from the gullible. I honestly think they intentionally leave bugs in Windows in order to make the next version look good for having those glaring issues fixed, all the while introducing yet more issues in the new version that they will "fix" later.

Anyone else get the feeling Windows Mobile 6.5 is supposed to suck so bad that when Windows Mobile Seven appears it will be a success despite itself? Just like Vista was so lousy that Windows Seven can't help but be better by comparison...
