I have a Tilt2, currently on my 4th device, this one being a (slightly ) reconditioned unit. For me, each unit has has sluggish performance, memory allocation issues (ram/processor), and a few bugs that have all resulted in a (at least) daily need to reset the device. This isnt meant to be a review, so I’ll put aside thoughts on the lack of headphone outlet, etc…..(for the record, I’ve done some registry tweeks and memory utilization, and while it has helped a bit, memory usage and sluggish performance is still an issue)

Like most people here, I obligated myself with ATT for two years when getting this. While the price was right at the time, I’m wondering if there is much life beyond the introduction of WM7. I’ve found a slight lack of useful apps for WM6.5, though will admit to not spending too much time perusing the web. But I do wonder what will happen when WM7 arrives, if all development app and support wise will be pointed there.

Will WM6.5 become obsolete in a few months, and if so, was there a point to releasing a os that lasts just a few months? I’m guessing that all future apps/software will be directed towards 7, that there will be nothing new after that point for 6.5………….

So in the limited life of mobile devices, I’m wondering if our basic ‘shelf life’ is about 6 months. I’m not saying the phone wont work or that we wont get support, but for those who haven’t installed custom cabs, we’re tethered to what branded services and software we have access to……
