              ...although im using g note and g tab, i still have my humble omnia ii wm6.5 phone...NEVER use market place since we can buy many good s/ware from handango and pocket gear etc etc. wm is different from android where we were given reg code to unlock the s/ware. i have cash org, spb finance....there are avail in .cab and exe files where the .exe can be installed from active sync...so DIE on market place and im not going to weeeep for you. Thanks yuo.

                                HD2, 09 Mar 2012HD2 users are still there... Unfair ! Unfortunately you're right. I'm one of them. I'm ready to get rid of this phone as soon as possible. This HD2 is the WORST phone in existence.

                                  If you've got an HD2 on wm still, give your phone a new lease of life and change it to android .

                                        Anonymous, 09 Mar 2012Well, First. Seeing on how MW still outsell WP up to now... moreWow, sorry but you have completely misunderstood the opening article, the abbreviations, the evolution of Microsoft phone operating systems and other posts here.

                                        I am going to have to give that post a zero for accuracy.
