Reason, apps are so readily available and not junk like apple. I can get things shells from places like Handango. IMO, apple is just to stuck on them selves and want a hefty price for everything. I just like windows operating system and not apple's. Personally, I like the windows OS. Reason, apps are so readily available and not junk like apple.

The current Windows Mobile phone OS will soon be replaced by a completely new platform that requires new software. So what happens to existing phones like the LG eXpo? These phones are not upgradeable. Microsoft will probably continue to offer the old OS for a while, but it is already decreasing in market share, so I can't see it staying on the market long-term. I don't want to be stuck with an obsolete phone platform, without new software, support or services.
