Thumbs down Sign the WP7S boycott..

Sign the WP7S boycott.. Unless you like Microsofts interpretation of an iPhone.. Lets reiterate all that M$ cut out..

- No flash support.
- No multitasking.
- No copy paste.
- No removable storage media.
- No other default apps.
- No USB mass storage.
- No sideloading apps (Non App Store).
- No customized UI.

M$ is saying F their current user base, its like they are saying you dummies should have got an iPhone.. I cant get any work done on this, 3D games and slick graphics are cool but not if I have to carry a laptop around with me. Sign this petition if you feel the same way.

Re: Sign the WP7S boycott..

the goal is only 1000 i dont think MS cares about 1000 people you should make the goal 5000 or 15000 im sure u could get that easily since so many people either feel betrayed & there are alot of people who just dont like MS

Re: Sign the WP7S boycott..

Or just get as many signatures as you can get, the more the better. The more sigs you get, the more MS will pay attention. you could even post this link on other winmo sites, there a bunch of them and not only in English as well.

Re: Sign the WP7S boycott..

when was the last time you witnessed a microsoft phone that had less features than everyone else?

they have always had more till this day. by the time wp7 comes out it will have more than anyone else.

it's the MS way, they always trump everyone else

Ahm..most US windows mobile phones were made by HTC and HTC used the WORST features it could to keep bare minimum...

while I am happy that HTC did actually give us winmo phones they are the cheapest when dealing with hardware including to cheap to pay 5$ per device for hardware acceleration or using minimum ram or using a processor that is over 3 years old when many new better alternatives existed.

Samsung gave a phone or 2 but they were for verizon. Otherwise winmo has been known for giving the worst features on the market which is why M$ failed in the mobile market..they did not stand behind any of their products at all. Google doesn't even profit from sale of android and they stand behind it.

As for WP7 having best features is impossible..only the snapdragon is authorized to be used on for WP7...which most phones now are coming out with. There is the snapdragon2 which would "maybe" put it ahead which msot likely they won't use and Samsung already announced an Android phone with a processor better then the snapdragon2 called Galaxy S..so M$ will be playing catchup hardware wise anyways.

Re: Sign the WP7S boycott..

I can understand Microsoft on all that except no copy and paste. How can you have Office and no clipboard functions?

Microsoft didn't cut flash btw, Adobe is just slow at developing.

Re: Sign the WP7S boycott..

This is just silly. I'll be sure to buy an extra phone to counteract you Tea Party folks...lol.

Celsius0010, I'm wondering what kind of work you won't be able to do with this?

Re: Sign the WP7S boycott..

Microsoft hasn't exactly said there will be no copy/paste. My guess is that there will be copy/paste within the various hubs, office, net, contacts, etc. You just won't be able to paste what you copied outside of that. Will make it tough for those of us who copy from email to new messages, docs, etc.

And revolt all you want, it's pretty foolish to start flaming on WP7S over 6 months before it will be released.
