    HAHAHA...microsoft have started throwing $hit AGAIN in the face of duped customers...i think its their policy.
    -First they stop supporting 6.5 in marketplace(which was usually filled with pure crap),forcing ppl to switch to ios/android...(self-ass-kick).Microsoft thinkin ppl will take up win phone7
    - Now they are forcing ppl to upgrade (by preventing downloading from marketplace..wow..what a bunch of arm-twisters)...(and not everyone has free wifi.)shouldnt customers have FREE WILL to choose whether to upgrade or not????

    PS - for all those 6.5 users= i have used 6.5 and its quite stable...so if u like it and u dont need much apps..u can continue to use it as "phone" bt u need to drop the "Smart" tag before the "phone"
    (lolz thank god i have avoided Microsoft $hit just in time..)Lomg Live iOS/Android

      that is why, among other things I would not buy Windows Phone, I mean, even when Windows Phone existiira updates because who knows Microsoft knows it will not be eternal! and sooner than you can imagine did not exist more updates for that device that you bought and paid dearly for it! No more will be updated and much less able to install things on it from the Market. Just disappointed with Microsoft Windows and Windows Phone.

          Wow Windows has a Market Place??? Hahaha just joking. I'd say who cares and a definite move to alienate people who still a WP phone. If this does not move more people to Android then i don't know what will. I mean last census puts WPs at around 3%-5% max of the OS actually being used in the world thesedays and that is falling. So no biggie here. Time to put Windows mobile to rest people.

                                  Too bad I don't have the money to update. Even I'm still using windows mobile 6.5 on my omnia 2 and when I open the marketplace it always says error(I think they already shut down the marketplace for old devices)anyway the marketplace of windows mobile 6.5 was full of crap,most of the apps there are paid and if you download one that's free it will always crash and the next time you turn on the lockscreen on your phone...it's already turned off even if you did not press anything
