I think it's because people see a bad interface, and think that is representative of Windows Mobile, when it might not be..

It's like they still haven't woken up and realised just how good their mobile OS actually is.
Not sure we used the same Windows Mobile then. On my Tytn, WinMo 5 was terrible. WinMo 6 was a marked improvement but I'd still not rate is as high as "good" Under both, the phone crashed regularly.. 5 caused the phone to crash 15 times one Saturday.

I've had my iPhone 1 year now, and apart from the going to sleep and not waking up bug (which Apple have since acknowledged and fixed), I can count the number of times it has crashed on the fingers of one hand.

Still, it should get SPB plenty of business, at least until other mods become available.
Assuming Microsoft don't lock them out of changing the UI too.

Although I have heard a rumour that like Apple they're going to insist you get apps for it form their Market place only.
If they do, I hope they do a better job than Google (the Android store has already carried two trojans).
