Anyone happy with wm7 reviews?

Eh, some of these posts are disturbing, atleast to me. Why should we "waste" our hard earned dollars on a new unproven OS, sounds like a true tech fanboi... Don't see how someone on a forum like this could utter those words. If anyone truly ran like that Android and iOS would never have made it.

And saying that MS is giving phones away to employee's is because its a crap product, then explain Google giving its phones away to employee's when it did.

And MS stating that the OS wont be to where it wants it until 5 years down the road is simply a phrasing error by the person who said it. Apple and Google know better to say that because people would say the same thing about them that people are now using against MS. No one releases anything perfectly how they want it at release, No one. Thousands of MS employee's wont find every hole or bug, it takes hundreds of thousands of people and years to do that, works for anything man made. Android has had how many updates? iOS has had its fair share of updates too, not to mention the fail of the most current one that hardly works on older models.

If anything, MS locking down the software and making it harder for anyone to modify core features will only make it easier for them to push out updates and fix things that need to be fixed, instead of only really releasing updates for newer phones.

But, I as well am not biased, I will use whatever product is working the best for the time. But I also think its funny to watch people be completely hypocritical toward one product because its the current dog.

All I want is for my phone to behave as closely to a desktop as I can possibly get. When the WM line was out anything was possible. Now that Microsoft redesigned the phone OS from the ground up and crippled it, forgive me if I chose another OS that isn't crippled and/or censored by both Microsoft or Apple. I am willing to test drive it though once someone else Alpha tests it for me, this is ppcgeeks not xda-developers.

How many employees were sporting iPhones in Googleville? Microsoft got ripped in the press because they implemented a soft ban on iPhones, or to say at least workers had to hide them from management for fear of repercussions.

Agreed no phone is perfect in it's first release, that's why I'm saying we should skip the first round of WP7 and support Android or Apple. When I bought my current phone WM6.x was the top dog, now it's the runt of the litter.

At the expense of having the flexibility that made WM the best phone OS at there. If you want a stable phone with no options when not just use a dumb phone? Smartphones should be customizable and not micro managed by the manufacture.

I'm not bias either, as I said I like to buy the best phone that money can buy that is open. The last time I did it, it was WM6.x, now it's Android because that's the closest thing to the old WM line. After time passes and we see how XDA can reverse engineer WP7 and break the constraints that Microsoft has placed on the OS then in it's second year or later it might be worth revisiting. I just don't want to reward Microsoft right now for taking away CHOICE.

You must be new here, I complain about the faults and successes of all the mobile OS's/carriers and call things they way they are, and how I see them, so yes I say again, I'm not biased specificity against Microsoft, currently though, I don't like the way their mobile division of the company is moving to.

As far as knowing what I'm talking about, let me know when you have the responsibility of running the entire IT department of a college and sit on a few local businesses technology boards that drive what technology directions those companies move toward. These are my opinions you don't have to like or accept them, you just have to read them first thoroughly, if you come into a thread that I comment on and attempt to comment on me or what I know.
