Windows Phone 7 Discussion

[Tpimp420]

Great JOB MS you broke WinMo.


First off if windows phone 7 turns out like it seems it will:

-no multitasking
-little oem customization
-apps installed from app store only
-social network integration is key
- 3 hardware button phones
- ZUNE HD + tiles

Then I'm going to be pissed. WTF Microsoft? You took everything I loved about WinMo and through it out the window? And so you can cover everything in a non-original Zune Theme? Why oh Why?

I expected-

1.A new kernal with support for things like

• Multi-core processors
• 2gb of memory space per application (thats a minimum)
• Multi-touch and capacitive screen support
• backwards compatability for winmo 6.X apps
• hardware acceleration and accelerometer APIs

2.Higher resolution screens 1024X720 or something of that nature.
3.Better built-in web browser pocket IE 8 or something of that nature
4.Larger rom support with common rom sizes at 2gb, 1gb for Winmo7 1gb for apps.
5.Better format and codec support (flv, avi, etc.)
6.xbox live integration.
7. more capable media player (i.e. Zune player)
8. Performance tweaks, stability tweaks, better hardware support.

DID I GET ANY OF THOSE?
Yes, but only the least important ones!!! WTF Microsoft?? I don't know if I can jump ship to Android for this because that OS is still made of Java and obviously no more PocketPc than the iPhone. But I don't think I'm upgrading to winmo 7 either. I'm seriously dissapointed at this pile of crap. I wanted next generation windows mobile, not Zune HD+ tiles. This sucks Microsoft! I hope things are cleared up at MIX10. Because I'm not carrying around a Zune with microphone and internet connection. MY Touch pro 2 is nicer than that!

Exactly!

This so smells of New Coke. They decided to throw out the business and enthusiast markets to chase the iPhone it looks like.

The deep facebook integration alone is enough to turn me off...

Define multitasking and what you want from it and show me where Microsoft has said what you want won't work.
OEM's will be allowed to add to the UI. If they allowed OEM's to throw shit on top of the phone and cover up 7 then that's a lot of hard work wasted. They want people to see and recognize their brand and UI. I don't see a problem with that.
Social networking is a bad thing? That's a first! I guess if you're going to overreact and go off the deep end you might as well commit!
What's wrong with the hardware buttons?
What's wrong with the tiles and ZuneHD?

I wasn't aware that you were the sole reason Microsoft existed and worked for. Here I thought the rest of us mattered! My mistake! Do you want me to bow now or later?

I expected this phone to allow me to travel through time! Microsoft sucks for not delivering!

1. Most of the technical specs weren't talked about. Multitouch does exist and was demoed. Backwards compatibility is not needed and if it existed people like you would be bitching and whining about it not working as well as you want. It's lose/lose for Microsoft with people like you.

2. It's WVGA which is fine with me. How about you wait and see how this looks for yourself instead of freaking out right off the bat?

3. The IE browser looks decent so far. Pinch to zoom and pretty responsive.

4. Wasn't mentioned because they didn't go into that much detail. Wait until MIX. Though I'm sure no matter what you'll be on here bitching.

5. See above.

6. Done.

7. Done.

8. Apparently done. We'll find out more at MIX.


So you're saying you wouldn't use a phone like the Touch Pro 2 running this? That's exactly what I'm wanting for myself. Sounds to me like you set unreasonable expectations and refuse to be open minded and give any of it a chance. That's unfortunate for you.

Yeah, because wm6.x multitasks so great (ROTFLMAO it pauses apps for the most part and you have NO IDEA what WP7 actually does at the developer level)

Yeah, because Samsung and other dvd makers are great at smartphone UI. And motorola too. won't comment on HTC the pig of pigs.

See iPhone sales at ATT due to "customization" (ie. good actual phone software design)

ROTFLMAO

i'll stop there this is comical

yeah and verizon is such a great "lmao" carrier that loves to cripple their phones, sorta like mico$oft does with wm7.

for your info i used to own several winmo phones before i woke up and went to a better device. maybe you should open your mind a bit too.
