Well Arcman lay down the cowbell dey in a way I would have eventually gotten to, but i understand where Messiah coming from. He's a coder and enjoys the facilities MS put in place to make his job easier to connect the dots from point a to point b. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, its just that I (most likely) wont touch that platform with a 10 foot pole.

By nature, im a control freak, platforms like Android allow me to be me. As Arc said, platforms like BB and WP7 seem to attempt to neatly shape all their users in perfect geometrically correct cubes where these is little disparity between one device and another.

Sadly, so far, MS isnt looking to break that status quo by limiting some very basic abilities people have enjoyed for years on other platforms and when and IF they actually (re)instate these abilities, call them 'new features'. And its not like MS is the only one, not hating on them. Everyone is doing it, except Android and Maemo folks.

Sadly, they have GOT to learn the hard way that that simply cannot work anymore and thank GOD they have competition that, God willing, will beat them senseless and shine the light upon them.

Compition is always good, juss means better shit for us.

But if microsoft keeps up with their present listening/fixing policy, they go do some serious damage. it brand new, d umbilical cord virtually uncut. But i like what i seeing thus far, so i in full support.

Platform with lots of potentiall whiles providing my basic needs.
Kick ass hardware.
Bess price.

Time go tell for d rest.

We wait and see.

This is all we have to do wait and see

Just as the first builds of android was basically crap (fact) lacking apps and flexibility so too these first builds of WP7 are retarded that's why i didn't buy a windows phone 7 device (got HD2) I had a Touch HD before and windows mobile 6-6.5 works just fine for me and android has now gotten to the level of WM 6.5 and even surpasses in two aspects ... its developer friendliness and flash support......

and well for the maemo OS well it was half finished (fact) and now dead (meego)..... don't get me wrong i liked it but for the casual user it 's like buying an issue of playboy filled with text directing you to pictures you really want to see but you won't be able to find.......

all this aside let's just wait and see what happens cause we don't know what the future holds........I for one never thought apple would make a comeback ...... look @ them now.....

Sax, the memory card issue was discussed at length in the last couple threads.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #66 on:** November 16, 2010, 10:47:23 AM »

Some of us seem to forget that Maemo was never targeted at the 'casual user'.

That OS, and by extension, the N900, was aimed squarely at power users. Full stop. So that 'playboy' comparison is somewhat disingenuous. You knew just what you were in for when you purchased a device like that. The major difference of course, is the wonderful open source community that politely grabbed the torch from Nokia, and carried it to where it is now. You've seen what the N900 is capable of, so I don't have to tell you.

[Yes I am biased, because WP7 has a lot of pretty basic shortcomings. No custom ringtones? Oh please...]

Microsoft however, wants a chunk of that 'casual user' market, hence the retarded, kindergarten interface.

...and take a gander at the comments after this article. They speak for themselves

That was Nokia's biggest mistake if they polished that OS and added a TAD better usability it would've been great and not just good......
cause good as it is everything you can do with it you could have done with windows mobile before (same with android)and that's the point ....

MS has come full circle with this.... and as with any new software there with be initial bugs/hiccups it'll be fixed along the way....

It really doesn't make sense to gripe at this point......

If after all fixes/patches/updates are released and these issues aren't resolved that will be the time when grievances should be aired

^^ 100% Agree with What he said,
and like i said before, the umbilical cord is virtually uncut.

Windows Phone 7 has tons and tons of potentiall.
What some call kindergarden interface i call brilliant.
The interface is more dan juss flashy, it gives me what i watn most out of a phone homescreen. i.e. Glance and Go, i setup all my devices to display as much usefull information on d homescreen as possible. I want to be able to put on my phone, see my appoints/time/battery/tasks/etc etc all in once glance, den take it off.

Dats why i hate iphone, a grid of icons, juss not cuttin it for me.
windows 7 live tiles has the potential to give glance and go information in a more powerful way than any of the other platforms.

When developers start taking advnatage of that UI, it will be bess.
And casual users are still pleased with flashyness.

I think MS doing a very good job, and small niggles like custom ringtones could be overlooked, for d major undertaking that is WP7.
And developers already find how to set ringtones programatically with code.
(i myself jus going to make my own ringtone app to give myself what i want)
So stuff like dat go get sort out in no time atal.

MS has invested too much time and money in this puppy to watch it flop.
Is MS we talking bout here. Windows 7 come and pwon everybody, and i have faith windows phone 7 will do d same

And at the MicroSD card horse everybody beating:

http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/sandisk-lists-five-samsung-focus-compatible-microsd-cards

Like i said , MS is listening and responding, QUICKLY, that is ah very very good sign, very very very good sign. And d MicroSD shoudl be ah non issue for techies dat know what dey doing. Casual users juss look for d "certified" logo from now on lol.

when all said and done i hope this don't go the way of the zune/zune hd abandoned and in the corner begging to be touched. I myself am not a fan of the tiles seems to simplistic i need more than a UI that just flashes my updates, what if im not a teeny bopper about half those tiles will go unused. So far outside development for the phone seems a bit lockdown (just like the zune) which could hamper its life span as people just don't want a phone where there is no diversity of apps and features, or where you have to beg just to have a feature added just to be spat in the face(ps3).

Arcmanov · « **Reply #70 on:** February 11, 2011, 11:23:55 AM »

I have to admit...I NEVER saw this one coming.

Nokia and Microsoft in 'strategic partnership'.

I still don't like the WP7 UI, but this new announcement is rather significant.

MessiaaH · « **Reply #71 on:** February 11, 2011, 11:26:25 AM »

I put WP7 and ANdroid on my HD2.

And honestly, wp7 take win, i much prefer it dan android. and d apps are sweet.
D phone is fast and responsive, email reader is epic. and everything juss feels right.

1 thing makes Phone 7 OS win IMO.
Easy app development and tools using the Silverlight platform.
For those who develop in silverlight, you know what i mean...

Looking to get my windows phone very soon because of this very thing

triple post no-no.

been watching wm7 since android has been getting a lil boring especially since the manufactures not pushing out the updates fast enough, so you are at the mercy of the manufactures or have to go the root and developer rom route which is not bad but you usually have to give up things such as htc sense.
