After representing Windows Mobile for two years running the Smartphone Round Robin, this year I’m taking at a look at it from a webOS user’s perspective. Windows Mobile (which can be found on Windows Phone) has had a rough year wherein the big launch was 6.5, which was a minor update to 6.1, which itself was a minor update to 6.0, which some have argued was more like Windows Mobile 5.5 than anything… you get the picture, Windows Mobile hasn’t seen much in the way of huge OS updates for a long time now.
So where’s the action at? It’s at HTC, who has churned out what is probably the coolest single piece of smartphone hardware of the past year and who has also developed this thing called ‘Sense’ that’s less a theme or skin and more a symbiotic app suite that replaces as much of the look and feel of Windows Mobile as humanly possible.
We’ll delve into all that and more, after the break!
