First good news about WinMo after a while. I do hope that Windows Phone Classic (if the rumor is true) will be interesting for HTC and other manufacturers, because all I really need is 1 GHz+ device with big screen, hardware keyboard and of course WinMo 6.5. And about that Starter edition, I'm really not interested.

Edit - in case someone didn't noticed it, my comment is about this article: http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/w...phone-classic/.

im hoping that the'll eventually update the "classic" with photon

who is more confused now? us or MS?

The thread's title "wp7s starter will me stripped down 6.5" doesn't make any sense. There's no WP7 starter...

Exactly. They say "Windows Phone Starter", not "Windows Phone 7 Series Starter". So it's 7, Classic and Starter.

No, it won't.

This makes no sense unless there's going to be some kind of compatibility between 6.5 apps and 7 apps.

So far, what we've heard is there's no compatibility, so I can't understand why Microsoft would sell 2 incompatible products designed for the same purpose.

They don't have a same purpose - WP7 is for kids and gamers.

WP Classic would be targeted (if the rumor is true) to power users and enterprise market.
