Hello,

Does anyone have any knowledge about how .NET Compact Framework-based
applications will be deployed on existing SmartPhone devices?

I assume that there will have to be some update process. My thoughts on
this are that the consumer user base may be resistant to any non-trivial
upgrade process. However, the business user base may be forced to update as
the result of compatible with .NET Compact Framework-based enterprise
solutions.

Cheers, Eric

Do such phones actually exist already?

No. www.sendo.com has over 1 year of delay in releasing such a phone (MS
Smarpthone 2002) and Steve Ballmer (MS) said lately unofficially that maybe
even it will be delayed to March 2003!!!

Anyway: message to Microsoft team - please provide us with .NET Compact
Framework for MS Smartphone 2002 right frmo the beginning!!!!

You know, by the time this one phone comes out there will be, like 50
million java phones, a whole smorgasboard of Symbians, as well as Palm
and BREW smartphones.

yes, I know, and: www.Sendo.com is an english company and I don't believe in
engineering skills of Englishmen (BMW shares this view and it has withdrawn
from Rover). it was BIG mistake of Microsoft to invest in this company -
they should pick some German one or some Chinese one...

the only hope of Microsoft are small, non-branded, vendors of cell phones
from Taiwan and from mainland China...

Ahem...

I am not English (Irish actually) but I would like to
point out that the Symbian OS (a particularly solid and
powerful OS and development environment) had its origin at
Psion - a decidedly English company...

Sweeping statements are, by and large, not useful.

and humans have origins from apes. Symbian however nowadays without support
from certain scandinavian companies would be dead meat - see
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/22981.html - they are ruling
there and contributing there the most, not Englishmen.

and also: I understand that you Irish were always servile to Englishmen (you
even use their language and abandoned your original) so no wonder your love
Englishmen and Psion, but please note: this newsgroup is about .NET CF and
not about Symbian so please let's stick to the subject! I am not interested
in Symbian anyway...

Dear Microsoft: please put .NET CF into MS Smartphone 2002 operating system!

What wonderfully racist views ;0) I believe that the English have been
responsible for most of the major life changing inventions of the 20th
century, most sports, universal (almost) adoption of our language and indeed
we have had a few good engineers too.... but then the English are made up of
Scandinavians, Saxons and of course they originated from Africa ... Of
course Symbian would be dead with out the support of other companies (many
from different nations as it happens) but then where would MS be without
Intel or CBS News without the TV Manufacturers. Strewth. Was having fun with
.NET before I read this crap....and decided to to respond with the same :0)

I think you'll find that Sendo are a French company.
And French engineers are just as fine as English and German ones.

Bigotted, racist views have no place in this news group. Please take them
elsewhere where there are similarly small-minded people as yourself.

http://www.sendo.com/aboutus/index.asp says that Sendo is an English
company.

And besides this: take it easy - I am just frustrated by big delays of the
introduction of the Sendo Z100 phone... sorry for my bad mouthing caused by
this frustration, it will not happen again.
