The MacDailyNews reports a huge gain in the sales of iPhones in the 3rd Quarter of 2008 surpassing Microsoft Windows Mobile Devices. This puts Windows Mobile Devices in a distant 4th place behind Symbian, Research in Motion, and Mac OS X ( iPhone OS ).
They didn't have anything good to say about the UI of Windows Mobile. I don't have any experience with it personally so I can't judge:
"The success of iPhone 3G sales in the third quarter of 2008 propelled Mac OS X ["iPhone OS"] to the No. 3 position in the global OS provider rankings. For the first time, iPhone sales exceeded sales of Microsoft Windows Mobile devices worldwide and in North America. In the shorter term, open-source initiatives like Android and Symbian Foundation will challenge Windows Mobile’s licensing model. In addition, the lack of a competitive user interface will continue to limit Microsoft’s mobile device usability when facing competitive consumer smartphones."
