In a tweet by Joe Belfiore, Microsoft's Corporate Vice President of Windows, he admitted that Windows Phone is dead and that it will only receive bug fixes and security updates. Belfiore revealed that they [Microsoft] will still support the platform [Windows Phone] in terms of bug fixes, security updates, etc. https://twitter.com/joebelfiore/status/917071399541391360 When a certain tweet-er asked Belfiore if developers are still going to build new apps for Windows phone, he said that, unfortunately, volume of users of Windows phone is too low for most companies to invest on. https://twitter.com/joebelfiore/status/917071857370595328 Well, we guess it's time to truly say goodbye to Windows Phone. Today at Mobile World Congress 2010, Microsoft announced their new mobile OS -- Windows Phone 7 Series. The biggest surprise of all is that the company is putting on hold developments for the current WinMo 6.5 and did the Windows Phone 7 from scratch. Microsoft is even promising that all Windows Phone 7 handsets will have a dedicated hardware button for Bing which can do search anywhere on the phone and the web. If you own an HTC HD2 now running WinMo 6.5, they you should be able to upgrade to Windows Phone 7 when it comes out.
