- nitrogen 6y agoWere there any phones based on WinCE before the iPhone? I liked the Pocket PC UI, it just needed a capacitive screen.
- mikestew 6y agoYeah, plenty as my wife and I had several. It was looking for a while there like HTC was going to become Microsoft’s phone hardware branch. The phones were good enough that I failed to see the big deal about the iPhone. Other than the web browser, yawn. 2G Edge-only when my HTC 8125 had been using 3G for, I dunno, ever? Then the iPhone 3G was released, and IMO that’s when iOS showed how wart-filled WinMo had become.
- microtherion 6y agoI do, and part of me was hoping that Google & Apple would have thrown a joint parade for the demise of Windows Phone, but classier minds prevailed…
