I just read that article Sax posted, and while it may not paint as rosy a picture as Endgadget, it does raise some interesting points.

You see that 'multitasking only limited to 1st-party app' issue?  BIG con.  I can run more than SIX apps on my N900...SIMULTANEOUSLY,
and it doesn't matter if its 1st or 3rd party.  Android has supported multitasking for about a year now, and iOS4 supports it now, so why on EARTH
would M$ not implement this across ALL apps by default is perplexing.

No OS level copy and paste?  Really?
What rubs salt in this gaping wound is that you can happily copy/paste within the Office apps on the phone!!!  ???


...and a Blackberry-type device (with touchscreen) running an upgraded/optimised Maemo would make for a pretty sweet device.  :)


I really want this to be great eh MessiaaH, but the buzz just aint there (aside from the mighty MS media machine).
 I'm not seeing the kind of industry-wide excitement that we saw for iOS and Android...and reports of tepid developer interest aint too encouraging either.

I just can't see a compelling reason (yet) to put aside my N900/Maemo for WP7.  In some ways...it seems like a step back.
This will definitely be a 'wait and see' affair.

right now, microsoft fightin an uphill battle, so their will not be d hype behind it , becuase in ppl mind, microsoft is shit. and iphone and android legendary, but i eh care bout all dat.

from my phone, i need tight music support, tight exchange support, and ah judgment user interface. win7 seems to provide that, time will tell.

Right now i using winmo 6.5, and ill never go android or iphone over dat. atal.

I hate d interface of d iphone. And what men getin from android, i have on my HD2. SPB Mobile shell anyone?

But what i like about win7, is d integration and colaboration wiht other services. it has Onenote skydrive syncing, (i use onenote religiously), and d email reader sweet. and other nice features, dat is superior to other devices. Copy/Paste is ah a con. but i doh realy use dat, so dont think ill miss it on ah mobile device, but im sure, if ppl complain, MS will enable it through OTA.

Multitasking is ah big issue, and i think d main reason MS stop it, is becuase winmo 6.5 phones, wud lock up, and ppl blame d OS , dis time, is ah gay app dey install, crash in d background, and lock up d phone. I think microsoft trying to realy avoid their new phone crashing. And they say dey go allow multitaskin fuh big partners. But i guess is to see how dat issue plays out, i currently run coutnless apps simultaneously on my hd2.

Do i need all of those apps to be in an active state at all times...i dont know. Once d important things can multitask, doesnt realy matter to me., But i think d multitasking issue is d most sticky topic for MS right now. i can overlook everything else, based on what i gettin from their platform.

I want MS to do well, i really do, compition is key for consumers.
Microsoft cannot be allowed, to drop out of d smartphone game. Only ppl go suffer is we.
And microsot have too much money, and is too powerful, to let that happen.
Everybody thought MS was dead with d release of Vista, and now, windows 7 is so frigin solid, u wonder what MS has been doing all dis time.

And seeing how dey treat Win 7, d money dey pump in it, and what a substantial comback dey made. I say to all, do not count uncle bill out.
MS will lash, wait and see.

U mean the Samsung Focus. Yeah, that looking nice.

Is that Dell phone with the slide out physical keyboard looking like the hotness. It not as curvy and nice as the Focus, but that keyboard looking like it full of win.

Is it just me or are the devices underwhelming .....

then again i guess its not really abt hardware with the launch

the HD7 Pro looks pretty cool as well as the Samsung and the Dell

that were previously mentioned the HD7 is basically the HD2 so no surprises there

Welcome improvement on the HTC devices are the dedicated camera buttons ......finally ....

and the HD7 Surround looks ... interesting.... to say the least

As far as reviews of Win Phone 7, this one by Anandtech is easily one of the most in depth and detailed ones that I've read. Looks like MS did a pretty good job on the execution of the new platform. Love the idea of using the GPU for more than just rendering games. The article is quite long, but well worth a read. I'm a Nexus One owner and thus quite entrenched in Android, but this platform sounds like it's off to a great start. Give them a little more time to iron out the kinks and it could well be a front runner.

The phone with the surround sound speaker was a bess move - props to HTC.

Windows Phone 7 is Hotel California for microSD cards

Once you check in you can never leave
By Lawrence Latif

GOOD ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH when it comes to microSD cards for Microsoft's special Windows Phone 7 (WP7) smartphone operating system.
Those WP7 devices that have removable storage - and there aren't many - not only need special microSD cards but once in the smartphone, the card cannot be used with any other device, not even to format it. The news comes after US mobile operator AT&T told customers who had purchased Samsung's Focus WP7 smartphone to hold off on microSD card purchases.
Typically microSD cards are characterised on a "class" scale, used to simplify the marketing of read and write speeds. While the basic read/write speed specification is fine for just about every other device out there, it doesn't cut the mustard with the Vole. No, it cares about random access speed, something that isn't really taken into account in the SD Association's classification.

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1897918/windows-phone-hotel-california-microsd-cards

LMAO @ once u check in u can never leave. Take WIN inq.

But mega epic fail @ that whole mem card issue ESPECIALLY the bit abt they cannot be read or written by any other device. :shakehead:

At first I found WP7 a bit interesting but now, not so much. Just an example of how a closed system doesnt really benefit the end user.
