Now Samsung tries to backtrack, saying it won't drop Windows Mobile just yet. But I think the original story is true. Samsung just wants to sell the current Windows Mobile phones, and doesn't want to declare them obsolete just yet, so as not to affect sales. But this is the same story with every manufacturer. Either they've reduced the number of Windows Mobile phones (like HTC or Samsung), or they've dropped Windows Mobile completely already (like Palm, Motorola). Nobody wants Windows Mobile any more. We are watching a platform in its death throws, before it finally gets put out of its misery, and cancelled, which won't be too far away. Because of this decline, if you are buying a mobile smartphone, make sure it is not a Windows Mobile phone. Buy anything else. Don't get stuck on this platform that will soon be discontinued.
