I am using a Samsung Omnia II (SCH i920). Is there a Firefox Mobile program that will run on my phone. It is a Windows 6.5 device.

Sorry, Mozilla stopped development on the Windows CE OS platform almost a year ago, and has no current plans to pick it up again.

Thanks for the prompt, frank reply. I understand fully. That being said, as a Windows phone user I am becoming more and more disenfranchised. It is sad to know that there are such helpful and useful apps and programs that are available for other phones but not the windows phones. It leaves one feeling more than a bit under- or un-appreciated. :~(

Miscue by Microsoft by beating the old CE platform to death, and then the new platform they come up with has "locked out" app developers by not having a developer platform available in a timely manner. I think MS was trying to follow Apple's lead by restricting external apps too severely for their own profit, and then having 2nd thoughts as Android makes a splash.

IMO, unless MS's recent agreement with Nokia works out for both companies, the new Windows mobile platform is doomed to fail. Why should a mobile device manufacturer pay Microsoft for a 3rd rate operating system when the best one - Android - is free?
