I just want a updated IE, the current build available is outdated in comparison to the alternatives.

It's astonishing how a company as large and profitable as Microsoft has never produced a single OS that's genuinely intuitive, user friendly, and attractive.

With lots of perfectly good Windows Mobile launchers available on Handango.com for Windows Mobile 5 and 6 Microsoft should have simply "assimilated" one of those companies and called it a day.

I'm just chillin' with my G1 right now ... but I would love to get a Windows Mobile phone just for the emulators.

MNicholas6336d ago

Decent OS, genuinely ugly phone.

Elven66336d ago

I agree, WM phones have never been about the form factor although HTC is definitely changing that....almost everymonth!

Bnet3436336d ago

The G1 isn't an ugly phone up close. Maybe I'm just saying that since the G1 is my first smartphone but I seen others still. I do not think G1 is an ugly phone and it's what's in the inside that counts. I'm not a phone whore who whips out his cellphone in the public to show off.

I am curious if WinMo 6.5 will be available for download for current 6.1 users?

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

How is that unsportsmanlike conduct? What a stupid decision lol

gold_drake76d ago

since when is bumping fists "unsportsmanlike".

Inverno76d ago

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
