Years ago I had a windows phone. I swore I would give up using cell phones if they had windows on them. On a positive note the crashes were not accompanied by Blue Screens of Death like when Windows 7 attempts an update om my desktop!

That's long long ago in ancient times.
 
First smartphone I had was a Verizon branded HTC Windows Phone. It was pretty terrible.
2009 was when I got my OG Droid, first Android. :)
Loved that phone!

I'm going gold mining today. If you never hear from me again its because I struck it rich and my partner killed me and left me in a shallow grave.
 
:eek: Winter is officially over. The ice cream truck came through our street. For the first time of a long sweet summer I hope :D

The last mobile device I had with Windows, had a Start menu and had to use a stylus on a resistive screen.

And what a fantastic device it was too... Its a shame that windows mobile was starved of both love and resources by microsoft. Still at least they are trying now....

I had the Moto Q with WinMo. Unfortunately there were dumb phones that were smarter than that OS. The UI was different, but that is about it. It's the main area I give credit to Apple is actually creating and successfully marketing an OS and UEx that appealled to the masses. They brought smartphones from the business world to the hipsters, and Android further carried it to everyone.

I had one of those two. Still my favorite form factor, if it had a useable OS I'd probably still have it.

I had a Windows CE 2.0 pda prior.C ouldn't afford the combined pda/phone back then which are now known as the smart phone. Windows CE 2.0 still had the start menu at the bottom left where it is supposed to be. 3.0 moved it to the top so when you tapped on it your hand covered it, totally bad UI. I could do a lot with that old WinCE2.0 pda, then Apple came along and changed the whole industry direction and its over a decade later and I still don't have all the functionality as that 1999 pda.
