Devices that shipped with 6.1, i. e. Touch Pro/Fuze?

Do we need to say "7 and up" for Windows Phone?[edit]

If you check the article's history (for example this version), you can see that some editors have tried to add Windows Phone 7 devices to the list, mistakenly thinking that Windows Phone 7 was the "next version" of Windows Mobile after 6.5, whereas actually it's a different thing altogether (even though the version number seems to suggest otherwise). Therefore I created a section called Windows Phone 7 with some explanatory text that this is not the same thing.

If people start out without knowing the difference between Windows Mobile and Windows Phone, then they're likely to ignore the word Phone and instead look for the version number. That's why I put "7 and up" in the section title, so they'll find it even if they're paying attention to only the numbers. I've not come across any article that says it should no longer be called WP7 (even Microsoft's site calls it Windows Phone 7) so I think it's OK to do this.

One or more anonymous editors have been repeatedly removing this version number. The only reason given was a brief comment in the edit history saying "7 and up" is not needed because there are no version numbers below 7. However I believe it is needed in this context for the reasons stated above. Silas S. Brown (talk) 14:54, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
