I personally think M$ choice of going in with a 1st gen snapdragon was a bad one..
|
was it really their choice or tech trends? Recall that when microsoft initially had this overhaul, the year was mid 2009, in which snapdragon was freshly released. I don't think microsoft, nor qualcomm, knew that they would be releasing an optimized snapdragon, or a dual core snapdragon chipset. Fast forward to about the latter part of the year where companies were receiving snapdragon. Per usual, qualcomm discussed plans to release both new chips.
It is the fault of honest tech, not really the OEM/OS engineers. Let's recall that much of the whole optimization for new chipsets has android up a creek without a paddle. The honest only way to get fresh tech is to use a new company not named qualcomm. Again it was a microsoft move, but if dual core/optimized snapdragon chipsets were out at the time of the code base, then microsoft would've used it. Now we can call microsoft foolish and stupid a lot, but let's be real. They do pay attention.

you know that yourself cause I remember back in the day on the WP7 gang thread the posts were about 1.2ghz phones, 2ghz phones, dual cores and etc..and instead we got that
|
if anyone in the "microsoft gang" said that, then that was silly to say. Heck dual core snapdragon processors are BARELY (and I mean BARELY) making it on the scene. Is it possible that an OEM may have it. Rumor is that VzW incredible HD may, and frankly I can't say if that's really valid. However I will say that if anyone in the gang said that for first gen...dumb thoughts...
That's not to say microsoft will never get it. CE7 has support for a LOT of good stuff that can easily surpass android and apple in terms of ingenuity and optimization. But it takes the pace of technology to quicken to actually release it and microsoft to continue gaining momentum.

The processor and carriers still having control..
|
Carriers/OEM have less control than you think. Unlike with android or even previous windows mobile devices, the OEMs bundled crap on there and lots of it. The OEMS are restricted to very few removable programs on a wp7 handset. As far as the processor, heck that will change...sadly probably in the windows phone 8 announcement. I wouldn't be surprised if there is support for other chipsets...Personally I would want to see a samsung chip in there because they are more efficient than qualcomm/broadcomm chipsets. Always have been. Even in the days of windows mobile, my samsung i730 was more powerful than the xv6800!
