Re: Now that it's released, is WP7 worth it?
Is it worth it??? Hell yea
But answering a question like that takes much more than a simple yes or no. All us seasoned forum members are morons to not realize that NO first release OS will be released feature packed. We need a good foundation and work with that from the ground up. Did apple have multitasking when ios first came out? Apps? Copy paste? Did Android have the ability to forward a simple text in 1.0? Multitouch? The answer is NO.
They started with a good foundation and worked their way up and added everything when it was ready and properly tested and WP7 is no different. Is Microsoft late? Perhaps. But they laid a pretty powerful base to work with. Smoother than all the rest, Amazing UI, inmense developer support, xbox live, a FRIGGIN ZUNE EN EVERY WP7 DEVICE!!! they have the momentum that palm needed to get back in the game when they developed webOS and are handling it really well when it comes to advertizing and working with devs so i see WP7 to be a MAJOR player if not the one to beat come end 2011.
Now back to the question. Is it worth it? Yes
>>>BuT<<<
Is it worth it to switch from Android, IOS and such?? Not right now...
i have a HD7 and love it to death but even I recommend my friends to get an android device over WP7. Because its better? Not really. But i realize that its better for them to have what they need now rather than having them wait for it to be added later. As for me, i know what i gave up and am willing to grow with the platform because it showed me the potential, mindshare, and momentum to be a killer in the near future, and also i love the idea behind metroUI, hubs, tiles, and such so there is nowhere to go but up
