I have a windows phone 6. Windows phone 6. I found the usual ones for phone, message, multimedia,office, camera and maps-but that was about it. There was no task manager, no file explorer the phone equivalent of windows explorer , couldnt find the aGOS to download satellite positions, as well as a host of missing applications all included on windows phone 6.

The story starts in Back then, it was pretty much the same as we know Photon to be today. It's very possible that work began on Photon as early as , which begs the question: how could a company with such vast resources and fantastic human talent take nearly half a decade to roll out a product?

The answer could come down to mismanagement or lack of investment. My guess is that Microsoft didn't truly understand how big the mobile category would grow, and how fast it would happen. The short answer to the obvious question—how could Microsoft end up where they are today, without a competitive product and with relief nearly a year away? They were almost certainly working on a next-gen platform before the iPhone even launched.

They had a plan, and it probably reached years into the future—Photon, a drastic refinement of the classic Windows Mobile platform. It's just that this plan was a shortsighted, inductive mess; a frictionless continuation of the strict enterprise-focused philosophy that Windows Mobile and Windows CE had done reasonably well with in the past, and that the iPhone and its various responders promptly made boatloads of money completely ignoring.

By the time Microsoft realized what it had to do, it was nearly too late. Hence, the Zune Phone.
