Guest ardvarkofdoom Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/41755 :D Not only was the "OmG THEY'RE UNLOCKING OMNIA 4 SURE ON MAY 11th" rumor dismissed, WinMo apparently was a flop at TechEd. EDIT: Because I posted this quickly.... I see that I'm not clear... NOR WAS MY CLARIFICATION. I'm not flaming WinMo. I'm not supporting iPhone. YES, THE AUTHOR IS A F-TARD. My point is that the release was owned due to microsoft not getting stuff out on time. Edited May 13, 2009 by ardvarkofdoom
Guest sidfire Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 LMAO.. thanks for the news mate!! how mediocre! if i was one of the attendee's I would have been pissed off for sure!!
Guest WoZZeR999 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Useless article. Windows Mobile 6.5 is built with Internet Explorer 6 (which is odd given that PCs are using Internet Explorer 8). Shows that the reviewer (or person he stole the review from) was an idiot. Windows Internet Explorer Mobile 6 is not the same as Windows Internet Explorer 6. Edited May 12, 2009 by WoZZeR999
Guest ardvarkofdoom Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 I'll give you that... but the point my link was to show the general flop of 6.5... not comment on the features :D
Guest frankfmoney Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 I'm just glad you didn't use that "pwned" word.. That is so ANNOYING.. Just as all caps is I guess. :D
Guest z3ntn3l Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Man, that "Review" is totally useless... "Internet Explorer 6 while on PC there is v8". That Guy doesnt know what he's talking about. Just a Flame-Plost. Not more.
Guest condorx Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 ^ +1 BTW, we've been using 6.5 ROMs for a while so... what should we be disappointed of? We all know 6.5 is basically a 6.1 makeover, so? Most useless thread of the week
Guest Adrynalyne Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Ease up on the guy. The poster didn't write the review.
Guest thescope Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) I don't know about Tech what ever, maybe they are Pissed and don't own an Omnia, or they never tried WinMo 6.5, but I love it. Fantastic OS, Mos def the BEST mobile OS right now. Lets me do what I (as in me and not some frakin company ie: APPLE) ALLOWS you to do. I am the BOSS on my phone. I can play on it PSX games... and, most importantly who needs IE when there are some 7 other browsers?!?! LAWL. and I HAVE IGO8, YES!!! not like them sorry ass Iphones XD Yes it's a small change from 6.1 deal with it till 7. Edited May 12, 2009 by thescope

This type of people degrade communities into bruised fan-clubs. By the way, I too have an Omnia, I do use 6.5... And although it's better than 6.1 in some aspects, it's far away from being GOOD, let alone being BEST! So? Yeah, flame on! :D (If we can accomplish this, have a flame inside a group using same device, that's great man! Bullsh*t!!!!!!!)
Guest condorx Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Ease up on the guy. The poster didn't write the review. of course, nothing against the poster (even if starting a thread with "WinMo 6.5 = owned / ahhahaha" might be judged as... say... "unwise"? :D ) Edited May 12, 2009 by condorx

Guest stuzathegreat Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Short of the sh1t that appears in the Sport, Star and Mirror, that has to be one of the worst pieces of reporting I have ever seen.
Guest WoZZeR999 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Nothing against the OP at all, I'm just sick of reading anti-WM articles from people who think the iPhone is the greatest thing ever.
Guest thescope Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 agree with u, but sincerely , ur post sounds a bit funny when read...with all ur frakinn,boss and that u have igo etc... anyway,, good that u appreciate ur omnia and even better that u hate iphone :D Well my I have an Iphone 2G I got for free a few years back, so I know what it's like living behind bars :lol: Yes I jailbroke it never used the store but so much playing around for a simple app.. about IGO, well as far as I know Iphone has only Google Maps, and unlike IGO and other GPS programs it is nnot of the same, caliber...
Guest POMF Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Useless article. Shows that the reviewer (or person he stole the review from) was an idiot. Windows Internet Explorer Mobile 6 is not the same as Windows Internet Explorer 6. Thank you sir!
Guest semmtexx Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 WM 6.5= not owned by anything. Thanks, but retarded post. Um... the iphone just recently got the ability to copy and paste. So, to all those who think that the iphone is the best thing since sliced bread, go marvel over copying and pasting why don't you. And like Wozzer said, I can't stand it when people post anti wm crap. If you don't like it, don't have anything to do with it....I do the same with the iphone and Macs. I don't have anything to do with them. Thanks and sorry for the rant.
Guest POMF Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 And for that matter. . . how does the iPhone look more expensive??? First, it isn't! To me, the interface alone makes it look like, well uhh. . . a badword' child's toy! Then there's they oh so familiar rounded edges and wider (as opposed to taller) design found on all mac products, that makes them look rather harmless and effeminate. Add the fact that it isn't a proper smartphone. The majority of people I see with iPhones are older business people that want to look young and cool. These same people are not good with technology and won't take the time to learn a more technically advanced device like a blackberry or a windows mobile phone. In fact the only thing better about the iPhone is all the apps and the fact that each one uses the same finger friendly interface. Now. . . add the fact that the iPhone is only available on AT&T and it's a no brainer. YES, I do believe your choice of wireless carrier (at least here in the US), says a lot about you as a person. YES, I do believe in paying more for better service, even when (in this case) that service uses an older form of technology. Why do you think that apple has been in talks with verizon? Because they believe that there aren't that many more ATT customers (or potential customers for that matter) who will purchase an iPhone. It therefore would benefit the people at apple to offer their product on the largest, strongest, most customer satisfied (albeit evil, greedy, gps and tether locking) network in the country. It will be a fine day in the US when you can buy a phone directly from the manufacturer, with all the features intended and nothing more, and choose a carrier that fits you. I'm not holding my breath.
Guest Turborepu Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Yeah crappy article, and not informative at all.. I've sent my buddy pics of stuff i can do on the omnia and I dont get a reply ever about those.. he must be scouring the forums trying to do the same with jailbroken stuff.. Hes a bandwagon jumper to any of the mainstream trends that are supposed to be "cool" and thats the reason he got the Iphone. I actually USE mine, and wm6.5 and it does all i need.. Whenever this topic comes up i always think about that one spoof video about the mac without a keyboard(look it up) where the chick says at the end that its obviously for people who use it for "d**king around rather than actual work"
Guest semmtexx Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 HAHA I just youtubed that spoof mac ad. man hilarious lol.
Guest ardvarkofdoom Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 OK.... jesus christ people! Stop looking so hard into posts and using them as a flame war. Yes, the article was poor judgement... I don't agree with it and the guy obviously has facts mixed up... but like I said... the point my link was to show the general flop of 6.5... not comment on the features I only linked it because that was the first and only article at the time saying that 6.5 didn't release like planned. I don't like the 6.5 as much as current set up (mostly due to adrenalyn's cooked rom goodness), but I'M NOT FLAMING IT. I was just laughing at the fact that SO MANY PEOPLE were dead set that May 11th WOULD be the release day and that they were getting butt hurt because of Microsoft's delays and the "pushing under the rug" attitude towards not completing it. This isn't a badword flame thread. This def not a winmo vs iphone fight either. Stop having a pissing contest.
Guest blazingwolf Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Hmm, the article is pretty low on facts (also states some incorrect ones as mentioned before) and does seem to support the iPhone. I would also have to say that it in no way says that WM 6.5 was owned. 6.5 was never stated as being available on May 11th except from a misconception that was quickly put down by Microsoft. So, all things the same I don't really agree with you about this.
Guest ardvarkofdoom Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 DUDE, dont' give a badword about the iphone. Let me rename this thread... WinMo release owned. THAT is the point of this thread. I support WinMo not iPhone. While the "misconseption" was supposedly quickly put down, I still saw sites and plently of people waiting for 6.5 to be released. Read my badword post, it's about the release, not the features or some jerk off saying "iPhone is better!". How can you disagree with the fact that people were very very eagerly awaiting the magical release that didn't happen?
