Windows Mobile 6 sluggish?
Reading some comments on Mobility Beat written after testing the HTC Advantage:
During my recent review of the HTC Advantage, something became clear about Windows Mobile-based smartphones: The OS needs plenty of work, yet device manufacturers are looking the other way. Don't get me wrong--Windows Mobile smartphones are often slim, well-priced, and highly capable, and they're selling well. But that's not because of Windows Mobile–it's in spite of Windows Mobile.
In fact, Windows Mobile 6 is the Windows Vista of smartphones: an unwieldy, bloated, and slow mess of an operating system. It fixed some problems and looks nicer than Windows Mobile 5. But it introduces other issues, runs sluggishly on new hardware, and as a result, doesn't feel ready for prime time.
I don't understand this at all. This is the FIRST comments I've seen on Windows Mobile 6 calling the OS sluggish. As a matter of fact, we've upgraded about 50 phones so far originally with Windows Mobile 5 to Windows Mobile 6 and every single one of them have clearly stated that the device is much faster, much more stable, and overall much better than Windows Mobile 5. I don't think we're alone based on other reviews I've read. So why is this review so different?
