Re: WP7 no removable storage, no file explorer, no usb hdd- am i missing something?
There is no way I will be supporting this new imitation iPhone crap. I am already trying to figure out what I need to do in order to switch to Android.
Please, HTC, PLEASE, if you have any reps reading this thread- please submit it to management that we want a Touch Pro 3 running Android with T-Mobile USA 3G+.
What we know to have been confirmed already:
No installing apps outside of the app store
No multitasking
No file explorer
No directory structure
No USB flash drive
No storage cards
No 3rd party interfaces
No replacing the built in apps (like web browser)
No backwards app compatibility
Limited use of hardware keyboards
Are you kidding me? Microsoft just basically abandoned us. If I wanted an iPhone, I would have one already. I certainly wouldn't wait several years and then buy a crappy imitation.
I guess this seals it. Android is the "new WinMo" and WinMo is trying to be the "new iPhone" (or something like that). Android came in with basically the same ideas as WinMo- only they used open source software and gave it away for free. But their functionality is basically the same. And that model is working quite well for Android. Now WinMo is abandoning it and trying to be like an iPhone.
I'm sure I'll see most you guys on the other side (Android) soon.
One of you cats that is already on Android should make up a guide on how to switch from WinMo to Android. You know, with apps we'll need to get, how to get our contacts from hotmail, and all that other stuff.
Oh, and look for Apple to sue HTC or whoever releases these iPhone knockoffs. If they sued HTC for Android supposedly copying the iPhone, it shuld be real interesting to see what they do when HTC (or whoever) starts releasing these Win 7 iPhone knockoffs. I know everyone said they were really attacking Google in the lawsuit, but there is a very good chance they were really attacking MS. They didn't list any WinMo devices because they knew it was dead. They could have been trying to get the word out that they would sue any iPhone clones because they knew Win 7 was nothing but an iPhone imitation, and wanted to let everyone know in advance that they weren't cool with that. You never know...
