Now that all phone enabled windows devices are 'smartphones' - don't the sub catagories need a bit of re-jigging / renaming? They should all be in the smartphone section else remove the smarthphone tag and make it purely 'standard / pro'?
Just a thought. M.S |

Smartphone was MS's idea of "adopting standards" - taking a standard and changing the meaning of it!
Not all devices are "smartphones" - they are now known as Windows Mobile Standard and Windows Mobile Professional (and Classic I guess), but the main forum groups include both these and their previous names. Personally I wouldn't change them, MS are bound to do another renaming before too long to confuse anyone who's got used to this new convention. |

All phone enabled WM devices are Smartphones according to Microsoft! The device is a Smartphone, the software they run is Windows mobile 'pro' or 'classic'. Just thought for a windows mobile website the forum headings should reflect the new nomenclature. M.S
