HTC Diamond 2 and Touch Pro 2 is the real story. You should add the options to the vote.

Yeah, that poll is seriously slanted. Firstly, it's Windows Mobile 6.5 and not Windows 6.5. Secondly, HTC's biggest announcements (Diamond2 and Pro2) aren't even mentioned.

Yeah, I've decided that I'm getting the HTC Touch Pro2. It's off the hook, and I can't wait for it to be released. Once I get it, I can look forward to Windows Mobile 6.5 which also looks awesome.

I was really disappointed that there were not more Android smartphones announced. My current mobile is on its last legs & I was hoping to have more Android smartphones to choose from.

Having said that, I was really happy to see HTC announce the Magic. It is small & looks very nice. Hopefully my current mobile will last, until it is on the market.

blame Microsoft for that
there's something definitely going on behind the scenes
Android eats WinMo for lunch and the best HTC can come up with is the ugly magic
which for some odd reason has a chin
While their WinMo phones lack substance they sell only because of looks !

it's funny how even Sony,samsung LG n others have bowed down to them
they've even managed to develop their own UI's to hide the ugly WinMo interface
but can't seem to produce a Android device ! Sounds awfully fishy to me!

Windows Mobile 6.5.

P.S. Bye-bye iPhone.

Yet another iPhone killer? Sure .... there are lots of them, and yet it still lives and is the no. one selling smartphone worldwide. Windows is soooo boring.
