- Super amoled paired with the win7 ui = WIN! The screen looked amazing when I saw a focus in person today. Also played around with win7 for a bit and really liked what I saw. I'm anxious to see what handsets Verizon has to offer next year.11-19-10 01:59 PMLike 0

-no usb mass storage, you have to transfer your data "through the cloud" (have fun when you're roaming)
-silly stupid things that are missing, like camera settings not saving
-huge email contact synching problems, unless you have an exchange server you're SOL. it's amazing how an iphone can synch better with other microsoft applications compared to their own phone
-everything goes through zune. Wanna develop an app? install zune. wanna copy your movie to your phone? install zune. don't forget to convert your mp4s and wmvs to zune format first tho! or it won't play.
-won't synch email when it's idle
-most of the apps created are silverlight applications. very limited in functionality, they mostly "list" things and generally textbased with pictures thrown in. Good luck finding a super app
-no instant message app. get this phone say bye bye to yahoo, aim etc.
-no multitasking (explains lack of IM apps)
-and a whole bunch of other annoyances
On the other hand it does a few things quite well. I like the facebook app, it's the best i've seen on any phone, games are excellent as well. Its a great phone if you want a phone with facebook and gaming but for productivity look elsewhere. This is not it.11-19-10 02:43 PMLike 0 - I bought wp7 for developement (and possibly to replace my aging storm2) and I can say it's not a replacement for a mobile poweruser, definately not a replacement for blackberry. WP7 is very limited in almost everything it does

I just want a good phone (which can make calls) with e-mail and IM capabilities. I don't want to be stuck with a sub-par (wiggle/wobble/buttons coming off) phone especially when I switched to AT&T to get the Torch. Hopefully, it will be third time lucky for me.
Don't want to get boxed in the Iphone world. Is Android a good alternative?11-29-10 08:37 PMLike 0
