Multitouch isn't a platform specific functionality. It comes down to whether the application, widget or software component is programmed to support it. Because many android phones use resistive unitouch displays, mutlitouch functionality isn't programmed in for many apps.

If you want a multitouch browser, try Dolphin Browser in the marketplace.

My friend was showing me his new htc hd2 that he ordered from overseas (I'm in canada),
http://www.htc.com/europe/product/hd2/specification.html

It's super fast (1ghz snapdragon), the ui is sleek and very responsive, it integrates very nicely with windows, and from what I could tell is thinner and has a nicer screen than an iphone.

Personally I would have bought one immediately if our carrier (rogers) stocked them.

After seeing it I read some hd2 vs iphone comparisions and it genuinely does sound like a better phone (at least in my opinion) and apparently my friends as well.

Anyways, before you count windows mobile out I think you should see what they have. At the end of the day most of the iphone apps are just gimmicks and there's a whole lot of people who don't like apple much.

Hmmmm.... idiot nation? Ummm, righhht. Ever hear of the industrial revolution? We're still in it, moron.

... like we care what the idiot nation thinks smartphones should be. They are on the bottom of the mobile world anyway. I hope they don't still have phones with retractable antenna that is fake :D:D:D

I have a WinMo 6.1 HTC Touch HD, can I back it up and install Andriod on it?

Are mobile phone os's like PC os's? I assume not, just thought I would ask.

Winmo isn't going anywhere. Microsoft has the cash to keep going until they finally get it right. Winmo 6.5 is a huge improvement and I imagine 7 is going to be pretty sweet. And they also have that little thing called .net that has a huge development community so its only a matter of time, really.

With all that said, android is still bad ass.

I see entirely too many posts that windows mobile is on its way out. Im assuming that those of you who have those comments have yet to see windows mobile 6.5 as MS has entirely redesigned the UI.

Also, HTC has been and will always be at the top of my list due to the customization options. The new Manilla 2.5 ( the HTC UI added on top of WinMo) makes for an amazingly fast and finger friendly OS. Also, The number of FREE apps is limitless!

Please do some research before bashing things that you know nothing about....

Just my rant :)

I had a winmo. Couldnt wait to get rid of it.
It's hilarious that MS stuck with trying to use a Win95 interface on something clearly better suited to 3.11.
Epic fail.
Seriously, The HTC P3600i probably beats my Nokia N73 as the worst phone I've ever had.
Now because of that I had to get a new one with the following specifications:
Not Symbian
Not Winmo
Not Nokia
Not HTC

The Samsung i7500 Galaxy seems to be a perfectly competant little phone. One minor issue with USB not auto dismounting, and I'd prefer a predictive text 12 key numerical touchpad, but I have my fingers crossed that both of those will be possible to change.

Out of all the mobile phone operating systems, Windows Mobile is the saddest case. Microsoft can't attract many software developers to make apps for it any more. It has lost the business users it once had. With the market share in free fall, it's just a matter of time before the whole platform gets axed.

Meanwhile, Android is doing really well, with 20,000 applications in the store after just 1 year, and a multitude of handset makers jumping on board.
