Hi all
just a thought, after buying my XDA2i about a month ago I suddenly realize that the XDA2i is left without an upgrade to windows mobile 5.
While the blame should be shared between the hardware company and the Operating system company, I will refuse to buy another windows mobile 5. I would like to know how many would be interested in a petition by vowing not to buy a replacement product from the same hardware vendor.
The logic behind the petition is two fold.
1) make the Software company aware that releasing newer versions of the operating system require more co-operation and easier upgrade path for current hardware (within reason of system requirements)
2) make hardware vendors realize they will not profit from repeat customers unless they provide operating system upgrade or a trade in offer whereby creating a value to their current or soon to be discontinued line of products.
XDA2i hardware sepecifications are not at all subpar. there is no reason to replace a unit nor devalue it due to newer operating system release.
Ii've had:
casio m500->ipaq3890->dellx50->ipaq1940->dellx30->mpx200->XDA2i
largely my purchase reason is due to upgraded os.
I will opt to use my XDA2i and skip wm5 entirely. Won't even think of buying a wm5 and wait till wm6. at that point buy a pda/phone that is not from the same hardware vendor altogether.
anyone welcome to throw in their thoughts? Should a petition of this sort be created?
Regards,
Rob
