Why do you think we get all of these WM6.5.x builds that arent available for purchase (they just dont appear out of thin air).. M$ knows that every user here influences a dozen maybe several dozen other potential customers.. So you can really multiply the number on the petition by a factor of 10 to 20..

If this were true then there wouldn't be so many iPhones!

Sorry, just trying to be funny........

I mean its not like you HAVE to buy it!!!!! Buy another phone good grief.. like MS is gonna say oh yea... they dont like it so I guess we'd better scrap the 4 years worth of work we put into it to please them. C'mon son

If this is the best they can do AFTER 4 years, they can keep their WP7.

The petition by itself isn't going to raise any flags by itself--granted. However say cnet writes up and article about it, MaximumPC, PCWorld, MSNBC etc now it's out there for even more eyes to see. Phonenews just wrote an editorial on why they can't endorse WP7. The more negative attraction that is made of this the more chances are that Microsoft might cave in a little and give in on some of it's rigid policies.

But maybe your right, no one should do anything, lets just keep overpaying for phones that have LESS features then the ones we are using now. If more people thought like you in life we'd all be speaking with a British accent right now...

I think i'm one of the few enthusiasts who is still excited about this. I will concede that WP7S is not turning out to be the savior of the Smartphone that we were hoping for but on the same time we are all masochists trying to make a sub sub par operating system work for us. Who is to say that we can't do the same thing for 7. Even if it did have everything we wanted we would still be here unlocking our phones searching every nook and cranny of the code for things we can exploit.

The emulator has shown signs of a file system and we know that once these phones are unlocked you will be able to side load programs. There are very few problems that we wont be able to solve within a few weeks of it's release.

The loss of cut and paste is lamentable but I don't consider it a deal breaker I don't use it that much. The big gripe that I have with this is loss of removable storage. But if they make these high enough capacity I wont mind.

Just my 10 cents.

wow i guess im the odd man out i really like what M$ is doing here. i think that the ui is simple yet beautiful. and they did what the had to do to make the os as fast and reliable as possible the same way we did back in the mogul days we striped roms down to only the necessity just for better performance. and i think that M$ has made some tuff but great calls in WP7 and i cant wait to see how the finished product comes out.

no your not the odd man out im getting a wp7 as soon as they hit, but you wont really hear from the people who want it cuz its no point of starting a thread saying how you want this phone, but there is plenty to complain about & alot of people like complaining so thats why you see so much of it

OMG what on earth are MS thinking, the only reason i stick with winmo is becasue i can customise and muck around so much. SO none of our old apps or games will work eh - stupid, i still use appps from winmo 2003 and dont see why i have to buy all new stuff. I just signed it but MS are unlikely to give a f**K
