Spec's are nice but it's LG . I am just a die hard HTC fan. WP7 Still has me on the fence, Personally I think the UI is horrible looking but thats just me.

I really Hope there are going to be more UI options for it but its honestly to early to make judgment on it. What Microsoft is doing with WP7 is what people have been screaming for, for years. people have been moaning and complaining for along time saying that WM needs a makeover and thats just what what they have done.

The best thing I can suggest with WP7 is just be patient, if you can't go find something else to tide you over till its out in the wild and we get are hands on phone's running it and that's really going to be how we truly know if its going to be a star or flop.

+1 and screen is to small on that LG, coming from a tp2, screen would be hard to adjust to IMO

Re: Will windows phone 7 os suck or be good u think?

i feel the same way. however because i simply do not have the cash for a new device. though i did build a boat out of some foam, a peice of wood, and some duct tape.

Re: Will windows phone 7 os suck or be good u think?

i dono if i like the idea of the developing company having such direct access to my device.

some say M$ has the abilitity to see any computer in the world. i dono if its true or not. windows would have to announce its ip to a server for this to happen. personally i dont think i buy it. someone would have detected this traffic by now and exposed it. m$ couldent activate it from their side since most people are behind a router and all incomming traffic is blocked.

Re: Will windows phone 7 os suck or be good u think?

ive been following that story pretty closely and heres my take on it. many of the apps that obtain personal information are social networking apps (facebook, twitter clients etc). so lets say you install a twitter app, it needs your twitter login/password and it also needs to look into your contacts to see which ones have twitter so they can be linked to the app. but since all of that is considered personal info it has to ask. i hardly consider that a threat personally. thats exactly what i would expect it to do honestly so that part sounds worse than it actually is imo.

as far as the calling and texts thing, ive had that happen to me on my tp2 so thats not just an android thing. if you read any tech blog you may have seen an article that talks about googles ability to nuke an app off your phone if it is deemed malicious. they also state that they havent had to use this yet so from that we can gather that even though this security firm claims 5% of apps from the market can do these things, it hasnt happened. if it had happened im sure google woujldve swooped in by now.

im not discounted their research or even the scariness of what they reported but imo the is a little sensationilsm and they dont go in depth enough in their explanation. im also not nieve enough to think there arent threats in the market that havent been detected yet. just my 2 cents.

Re: Will windows phone 7 os suck or be good u think?

theres about 1000 apps in microsofts current marketplace and yes of course they will have a marketplace. there will be 2 different ones for apps and also for zune related stuff i believe. there will be no sideloading software so all apps will come from the market, just like apples
