just want to point out (again) that windows mobile 6.5 is ancient and windows phone 7 is not yet released. Thus, you would not be buying a new phone with a windows OS. Android, iOS, webOS, even BBOS are all better options. When windows phone 7 comes out that may change, we will see.
If I built a new computer I could still put Windows 2000 on it. Just because you’ve got an old OS doesn’t mean you can’t put it on new equipment.
One thing MS is doing with WP7 that I wish they’d done from the start with Windows and WP is they’re being very specific about the hardware that the OS can be put on. LG and Motorola can’t just take a POS phone, toss WP7 on it, and sell it, it has to meet what sounds like a pretty demanding set of processor, ram, and memory requirements. If MS would have made HP, Dell, Lenovo, Sony, etc etc ship all their computers with 4GB of ram, a discrete video card, and at least a core2duo, Vista wouldn’t be one of the most hated OS’s of all time. You feed Vista enough ram and all the problems go away. Ok, well most of the problems, anyway.
