. wp7 has some flaws, it's definitely not perfect, but i think it's off to a good start. the tmobile person said i've got 20 days, i intend on testing it and hopefully this rumored update coming will address some of the flaws...like no gmail sync

(at least it won't for me, saw something at xda that i might try).

what issues are you having with gmail? I just entered all my email addresses/ passwords and set to push and it works as intended.

What's wrong with you all? The galaxy s lineup is the fastest and most popular phone in history. Its hummingbird gpu is amazing. Android 2.1 and 2.2 run incredibly smoott and fast. Its super omaled screen is incredible! So stunning that ever person that I showed it to, amazingly give me a surprised and shocked look. They fall head over heels for it. And out the box, it works 100%. Noir, u said out the box it dont work. I suggest to pull your cranium out ur arse. I cant go back to regular lcd screens, they look very badly washed out. W7 is no exeption. Its a htc phone, so expect lcd fail-o-rama. Btw, no copy /paste. Might as well get a iphone4. At least with that you have a gpu that comes close to the epics humming bird.

oh yes the device had issues and somehow it's my mental problem. Says the person that spells like a retarded 3 year old...

The lovely thing about wp7 is lcd is not the only screen (see samsung focus and dell venue pro). Just because some HTC devices have lcd and slcd, it also doesn't mean that s amoled goes without issues. With color gradients, s amoled performs POORLY with any graphics that have color gradients. typically battery with s amoled screens and wp7 is very poor (many have reported similar findings with android as well), so while the quality is crisp, there are SEVERAL sacrifices.

Third, while using a snapdragon processor, I have to say, graphically, wp7 has not given me any issues. AT ALL, and actually while giving me similar iphone graphics (heck it takes about 5 days to port an iphone program to wp7), I like that the zune experience, speed, and (I'll say it) eye candy makes me go back to it. The UX/UI is the thing that kept me going back.

Finally, I don't have an HTC wp7 device as my main driver =)

On Android we have Voodoo color fix for those that find colors an issue...we also have mods to lower minimum brightness as 0% is like 30% on lcd to save battery..

That said I personally think M$ messed up making the 1st gen snapdragon the minimum..they should have went 2nd gen...this is really going to cause issues for gamers as games have to comply to "minimum" specs..thus games would never be gimped in the long run until M$ raises minimum specs...

@ noir, I love when shortcomings are pointed out and the only response is "but the screen is so pretty".....not one word about the os lol.

My Epic is on the way. I feel I have to give another OS a shot just to get out the WM box. WP7 is definitely in my future after it matures a little. I love Sprint Premier. This time next year it should be a nice WP7 device waiting for me.

Same here. I tried both epic and evo and i chose evo. I love android but with my premier account I am looking forward you trying out a wp7 next year. Hopefully by then alot of the apps I have on android will be on wp7 and they'll have some updates already released. All I can say is im looking forward to trying out wp7. I miss all the cool stuff I was able to do with winmo. I just needed better stability and only android gave me that on sprint. We'll see how wp7 does.
