Great if you're getting a new device, but...

essentially useless to the rest of the mobile computing community who have WM devices already.

The biggest issue I have about mobile computing with Windows Mobile is that typically you cannot upgrade the OS.
Once you have bought your device, you are tied to the version of Windows Mobile that came with it. Once exception might be if you bought your device close to the release of a new version of WM, in which case the hardware manufacturer may provide a free upgrade.

I just think it's a tad unfair on those of us who buy WM devices not to be able to upgrade the OS as one can with a PC.
