While I am not planning on making the jump to WP7 yet, will be heading to the AT&T store with him sometime the week of launch to mess around with the phones a bit myself and see how they are.10-26-10 09:30 PMLike 0

- I think it looks really ugly. Obviously, I've never played with one. But, the whole tile thing is ugly & might make people stay away. Also, There's the HTC surround. Who the **** needs a slide out "surround sound system" on a phone? Also, how is it surround sound? Lets get into how a S.S.S. is actually, S.S.
There are speakers in multiple placements around an area. With the HTC Surround there are 2, maybe 3 a best in a very small area. So if you are some how able to break the phone in half & hold each piece to both sides of your head without it not working, it's not ACTUALLY surround sound. But, I digress. A slide out qwerty keyboard would have been much better from HTC in my opinion cause I think HTC makes the best hardware for phones. But the speakers, well, that's as stupid as the Motorola Backflip & the Motorola Flipout.
It almost seems as if phone manufacturers say to themselves, "We can make the worst for factor phone on the market." Then someone else, somewhere else says, "you thought that was bad, check this out!" It's like a challenge to see who could make the ugliest phone ever! lol
Back to winmo 7, again, it's ugly & seems almost, To little to late.
Bad design.
Questionable OS.
Little to NO apps.
I'd wait 6 months to see which developers jump on board to make apps & games before I EVER head back to ANY windows phone.11-02-10 12:59 AMLike 0 -
- I stopped by the new Microsoft Store in Oak Brook, IL today, to check out the Win 7 Phone. I was definitely impressed. From what I hear, VZW is getting Win7 Phones next year.
Man, between BB OS6, Android, Win7, and the possible iphone on VZW, I don't know what my next phone will be when I upgrade in next year!11-06-10 11:53 PMLike 0 - I stopped by the new Microsoft Store in Oak Brook, IL today, to check out the Win 7 Phone.

Definitely check it out. The store is cool, probably 1.5X bigger than the mall's Apple store. You can try-out the xbox 360 kinect too, if you're interested.11-07-10 06:20 PMLike 0 - Just finished trying out the Samsung Focus. All I can say is WOW! The phone is great. The look and feel of the device is different than anything I have ever experienced. The phone was really snappy and easy to use. I would say that it seems simpler than the iPhone with some things. I left the AT&T store really wanting one. But there is one problem. The phone doesn't offer anything that I don't currently have with my BB. The look and feel is superb, bit everything else is old hat. I got this feeling that I would get this phone and inevitably do the same thing that I do with my Bold 9000. That makes it not worthy for me. If you own an Android device or an iPhone, you will marvel at the WM7 phone transitions and UI, but you won't be jealous of its capabilities. At the very best, its the same and in some instances, falls short on some features. It is definitely a cool device though.

I do not care about changing tile colors, I like customizing the UI and designing my device to the way I like it. To me, WP7 seemed like another locked down version of iOS. The transitions were smooth, and the UI was very speedy, but we will see how that goes once MS allows complete multitasking. I have 6 apps and 10 widgets open on my Android device right now and it moves just as fluently.
The OS was just released so there is always room for improvement. But, I will not even consider WP7 until MS allows for customization like Android. WinMo was extremely customizable. Lets see if those roots come back a little bit.11-08-10 01:53 PMLike 0 -
- Accidental PostSlayer of MisinformationLet's face it MS came to the Game too late. If they even wanted to try they would have popped phones for all carriers. And at this point they missed the bus. They will have some folks who love it but it is still winblows.11-12-10 07:39 AMLike 0
