I hope Windows Mobile won't get gone. It's the best. You can run third party software without hacking or jail breaking. I can do cool stuff like control my computer remotely (VNC Viewer) within my house over Wifi, or over the internet if I am out of the house using 3G connection.

I think WM in under advertised, I see commercials for iPhone and Crackberry all the time, but I never seen a Windows Mobile one...

It's definitely not advertised enough. I have seen a TV ad and/or heard a radio ad that mentioned that a phone had Windows Mobile, but it more an ad for the phone. Microsoft should promote the fact that Windows Mobile phones are available on almost every carrier, come in many different form factors (touch slabs, QWERTYbars, slide-out keyboards, etc.), integrate with Exchange (or My Phone in WM 6.5) and work with Office documents.

And, to reply to iPhone ads, Microsoft should show how useful multi-tasking is. Maybe it could show how inconvenient using "the other phone" is when you're in a hurry.

The thing I like the most about WM is that you can run third party software without a problem
