i think they look quite jarring… it would have looked amazing 10 years ago, but now it just looks like a really old prototype…

I hope this isn’t it. All Microsoft needs to do to persuade me away from the iPhone is put a chip in the Zune HD that makes it an unlocked phone. Having some apps would be nice as well.

Sharp? One rule I live by is “never buy anything made by Sharp”.

“Then again, it won’t be hardware designs that will make any upcoming Windows Mobile phone a big whoop–that’ll only occur if Windows Mobile 7 turns out to be a great leap forward.”

MS hardware tends to be a train wreck– look at the flaming Xbox problem. Their software is only a little better. They do best in captive markets, where a few corruptible IT Sheiks make all the porchasing decisions.
