Re: Windows Phone 7 Detailed Review: Should I just Go Android Now?
It may be zippy, but if it doesn't have the functionality I want, I am perfectly happy to stay with my CHT / Mr. X powered little old lady of a phone.

The interface doesn't bother me too much. I still haven't read anywhere about how rigid they are with the tiles. If they can be skinned (ie their photo gallery tile or the xbox tile), that opens up a lot of possibilities for customizaiton. Anyway, I'm also on the fence about WP7, but more because of the walled garden concept. But, I'm willing to wait and see how "walled" it really is. If MS decideds to go all gestapo on rooted phones ala Apple, I'll pass. If this is a walled garden in name only, I'll probably bite. |

I would expect nothing better from Microsoft, the company that survives by copying other's successes, then trying to kill them in the marketplace.

So becareful of what you wish for. I'm sticking with my Droid until I see what MS offers in the WM7 but you can bet that whatever it is will be a more easy and seamless approach when using other MS programs which millions of us do and have done for years. Comfort factor will become a major selling point in the next few months. |

Re: Windows Phone 7 Detailed Review: Should I just Go Android Now?
I have to admit I have not tried Andoid, and I understand its limitations. What I want is a simple way to move contacts, appointments and podcasts (music) back and forth between phone and PC. AS and and WMP are a nightmare, but one in which I have been stuck for years due to my work environment.
Reading between the lines, what I think MS is going to do is try to force you to use their Mesh/live Sync/Sky Drive: http://www.winsupersite.com/live/sync.asp If you have used their sky applications, which I have, you will see the continuing evolution of procedures, standards and application so you have little idea of what is going on. This is not what I want... you hate Android... try MSs version. I do not want my stuff up in the cloud somewhere in the hands of Google or MS. But if this is the new way to synch contacts, I am going to buy 7 TP2s and keep them for a decade even if I have to use AS. BTW, just think of any personal notes you have in the notes fields of your Outlook contacts.... Frustrated and Ranting in California.

Re: Windows Phone 7 Detailed Review: Should I just Go Android Now?
I also thought the review was pretty postitive.... I hope Microsoft does not forget us users who want some nice features and what we expect on Windows Mobile.
I just hate the fact that there is no file system. I love to use my phone to backup files and move them from Machine to machine, if needed. Also RDC for machine management.
