Nokia is the best product in the market, but due to lack of windows mobile, one is forced to try other product. Let Nokia allow WM and you will see that millions of programmers are waiting for that and no one will have a reason for trying other phones.As a matter of fact, I see Nokia phones as toys until Windows mobile start runnig on it.

Not only is the writer of this article perpetuating his own biased and un-educated opinion on WM6 but I bet he was listening to his iPod while writing this ANTI-MICROSOFT propagandic junk. Bustafone, while ignorant, has a point, Windows Mobile has more useful and funtional applications and over User friendly capability. Try flashing WM to your iPhone an you'll brick it, but with only a minor modification even the old HTC Wizard could smoothly run the iPhone flash as well as the iPhone itself. My suggestion is to go buy a new HTC Touch Phone, then hit up one of the hundreds of freeware sites for PocketPc and WM then lets see how much you praise an over-priced mp3 player with a sim card and BIG ICONS that doesn't even send MMS. Remember Microsoft has been in the cell phone game for a min, the only reason why the iPhone took off the way it did was because of the iPod in it (iPhone stands for Idiotic People Only Demand New Electronics, the rest of us compare before we buy and car what we get in performance of astetics). As far as Nokia having 50% of the market, even if that is true its only because they are the Cheapest phones to buy. Oh and by the way I have used and owned a few phones from each of these companies and can write programs for the all. Believe me, those with any kind of consumer intelligence will stick with Windows Mobile because it simply works better than the rest not because the buttons are animated.

Talk about wishful thinking from this guy at MSFT. He probably said that just for the headlines. Winmo sucks big time and to hope Nokia (the main name behind Symbian and having just bought Trolltech - read Linux) would jump on their deadwagon is utter foolishness. As for this bustafone, man, quit the crack and maybe you can stop your jingoist talk regarding "gettin a job in Europe". Most stupid thing I’ve read in quite a while.

Half-baked logic isn't going to work here. Grow up Peter Pan. If Nokia is wise, they will stay far away from anything related to WM.
