Windows Mobile 7 - Success or Failure?

[DirtyP2002]

Hey guys,

I want to know what you guys expect for Windows Mobile 7. Do you think it will be a success or a failure?

I took some time to think about it and so far, everything sounds really really great for this new OS.
MS did a good job to get the best manufacturers to produce Windiws Mobile 7 phones.

Here are the confirmed manufacturers:

• Samsung

• LG

• Dell

• HTC

• Asus

• Sony Ericsson

• Toshiba

• Qualcomm

I think that is basically everyone except Nokia and Apple for obvoius reasons.

The network-companies are:

• AT&T

• Telekom AG

• Orange

• Sprint

• SFR

• Telecom Italia

• Telefonica

• Telstra

• T-Mobile USA

• Verizon Wireless

• Vodafone
