People using WinMo who need Whatsapp probably just buy the next Android/iOS/WinPhone device available without giving it much thought.

Hmm. You have a point. I guess what's left of the WinMo crowd just doesn't care enough about their system.

Too bad, though... there are a lot of still-functional WinMo devices out there that could be kept working and recycled to people who can't afford or don't want to invest into a modern smartphone. WinMo phones even support half-decent mobile browsing, with many of the same compromises we have to deal with on Maemo.
