because they manufacture kinect. For windows phone 7, all they do is write the OS. OEMs are the ones that disclose wp7 sales and the only one that has is LG

Personally I think this is a pretty funny comment. You and possibly others here and at XDA care about ROMS. XDA provides a great service and I expect they will have plenty of Mods even for this phone. That said, this is a small audience compared to the smartphone purchasing public and has little to do with the success or failure of the Windows phone 7. The only exception is the people on these forums are the early adopters and do influence the gadget purchase of friends and family.

Your comment almost sounds as if you just care about Mods just because it is cool and not for what they can provide. This phone is so far and above what we had in 6.5 that at the moment I would rather have a great OS with no mods than a bad OS that has great Mods.

that's why you have to side step some of the craziness, people complained about having to hack and tweak winmo to work...now they say you can't hack wp7 lol. if it was out for cdma, we'd be having a different conversation.

Haters are going to hate... It doesn't matter the reason.
People just can't see that there's a phone/os combination for everyone... Well... Except for those of us that want a WP7 phone on CDMA... LOL.
But you know what I'm sayin... If you don't like it... Stay away from it.
I hate iPhone. I have only posted in the iPhone section once or twice... And neiter of my posts were full of hate... Except for that punch to the ribs when the iPhone 4 antenna was having issues. But that was just fun.
People want MS to fail and it's just not going to happen. MS is bigger than big and anything they decide to sink theif dollars into will come out a success. They'll get it all right. It's just going to take some time and alot of money.
They will be in the top 3 in this market. TOO.

I know what you mean, at least I tried android before I started bashing it lol, hell, I put the 2.1 rom on my wifes moment. some of these guys aren't thinking for themselves, they're letting websites and articles think for them lol. I'm not saying wp7 is the best thing since sliced bread, but I did at least try it.

wanna here some scary stuff, i got a ihony 8g sitting right next to me. lol
its old and i got it free but still.... sorry to interrupt the bashing and i totally agree with az and doc that there is a phone for everyone and wp7 defiantly deserves a 30dy testdrive.
