Unfortunately, as most users are iPhone, Android and Symbian (in that order) and WinMo is the least used platform, it is obviously delayed, though we do not want to ignore it all together or abandon it. Overall we plan to upgrade all devices to same level from time to time, Windows Mobile included, but it does take time to upgrade each OS version with the additions. We want to increase the user base, so part of the focus goes to Blackberry where we have not yet made a version.
The 1.5 is the current version for the Symbian, WinMo and Android but we will upgrade them to a higher version.

Well, I do hope that this next beta release improves the perception. Have'nt yet tested it much, but as there was a request, hereby detailed in thread: http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3554

Indeed this came out a bit confusing to us as well.
Because we decided to simplify some features dusplay presentation and moved them to be web based display (score board being an example), they were not integrated it into the 1.8 Windows line. So while they existed in the 1.7 line, since we changed them they did not make it in time to the 1.8 Windows.

any one else having trouble with the 1.5.2.5 bcoz m going to install to my HTC HD2. i had problem with the previous version.... and hoping the next version WILL be better than the iPhone ver ( the GUI).

Here is a link to an HD2 thread. You may get a hold of some of these guys.

I'm really hoping that if there is an update for the WinMo devices that it includes a better polling solution then the one used in 1.5.2.5 because this one sucks. During my commute I go in and out of coverage and Waze basically doesn't have network connectivity from the first drop to when I get home where I have to wait a little while for it to poll the tower. On the way to work seems a little better but it still doesn't have connectivity for long distances even though I'm getting data feed. So please add the polling frequency to the list of fixes. Thanks!
