              With all the comments, the one 3rd World Phone might be the best. Not because of what is suggested. But just think instead of sending a computer you can send them a Windows Phone, finaly a computer whit what they like to do most, calling with a mobile.

              If you are tired of your windows mobile i know a lot of people that would not mind having it.

              Maybe also the operators in those countries might think again, internet on a phone instead of all the costy lines that have to be put in place.

              Myself i like Android and Symbian, but let us be fair think like this and make people happy.

                On the other hand, WinMob 6.5 is very stable and compatible with an extreme number of software applications. For a professional device, to be used in business this is perfect.

                I have symbian phone (e51) and I like it a lot but I do miss my old winmo - never ever had a problem, only hardware was failing. BTW. Hate micro usb.

                        Anonymous, 17 Feb 2010WinMo is dead, long live WinPhoWinPhone might also be dead before it even gets released....

                        Who told the stupid company to "downgrade" basic features on WM6.0 to WM 6.1, by REMOVING the ability to choose the OS language, and the ability to use English OS to browse Chinese (and other language) characters.

                                        I believe Windows Phone 6 Starter Edition will come out extremely soon. Cos we know Windows Phone 7 series is coming out on phones in Dec 2010.

                                        Looks like something to while away time while we wait.
