I know that there have been efforts made to support a WIDE variety of phones (well, if the internal docs and tarballs are anything to go by), but there's always been some issue with getting them to production, ranging from features that couldn't be accessed to getting proper third party signatures from the OS providers. I really kinda wish the mobile folks would be a bit more forthcoming about the sticking points they're hitting rather than the dead silence, but sadly, I don't work with those folks.

I would concur with Jason. The coming soon badges on virtually all the phones besides blackberry is very frustrating! Six months is a long time to tease. My carrier - T-Mobile - has nothing to do with my phone which I bought directly from the manufacturer. So that's a dead end excuse. I am also a huge Y! user (though never an employee).

In fact the graphic that's been on the Go home page for those six months says to get it for your Windows phone, yet NO Windows phones are supported. The text that reads "We found 79 phones that work with Yahoo! Go" is totally BS. That's terrible.
