windows mobile is not in the game right now. windows phone 7 will be coming out in a couple of months and its supposed to be pretty good (we will see); windows mobile 6.5 is garbage and irrelevant.
oh and idk about how good battery life is from htc but all smartphones have pretty *edited*ty battery life.
To my knowledge, Windows Mobile was the first phone OS that let you install any app you wanted without having to go through a central store or a carrier’s app service. Even with the Android, you still have to use their market service to get even the free applications.
You can’t tell me that being able to simply download any app, from any source, and install it without a nanny carrier service or app marketplace as a gatekeeper is a bad thing. It’s still the only TRUE freedom-oriented OS in the phone market, and that’s pretty bad coming from Microsoft and all.
um you can sideload android apps. plus the online marketplace has tons of free apps. windows mobile doesnt even have a marketplace…
and there is a reason that no new windows mobile phones have come out for the past 16 months. I mean it was good back when it was new and relevant but the current version out (6.5) is soooooooo far behind every other OS out there and 7.0 is a completely new monster, where you lose that ability to sideload apps that you were talking about, and also it lacks multitasking which even apple does now. Sorry but MS has some serious work to do in order to get back in the smartphone market.
