Uh that was an immediate upgrade. No animals to hook up and sit behind them while they piss crap and fart. Excuse me while I watch from the sidelines lol.

I am getting one for free, so it's a bit easier for me to be okay to try it. My fiance loves it, but she doesn't do the tinkering that we do on our phones, and doesn't use it anywhere near as hard as most of the regulars here.

Its what I keep saying... if M$ would simply add a setting on the phone to switch back and forth from an advanced interface to a simple interface they would please everyone. It's not like the memory restrictions are still there, we have GB's now. I dig in and mess with every single file on my phone, my gf cant even figure out where she just downloaded a ringtone. BRING WINDOWS MOBILE BACK!!!!!! (Without the bugginess or lag of course.)

Thanks!

This is progress. When people moved to the automobile from horses, there was an adjustment period. The same holds true for wp7. We need to see how this new technology pans out.

In your analogy, what's the horse?

Windows Phone Crushed By Android -- InformationWeek

So, why sign up if eventually they just pull the plug on this one like the Kin.

This really isnt a surprise... I kept telling people that by this time next year Android will be by far the #1 selling OS in the mobile game. There isnt anything out that can slow the momentum down right now and when they release the gingerbread line its probably going to get worse. One phone alone was able to turn around Sprints fortune and the demand for the Evo is STILL high even now. Even with MS massive marketing campaign I probably see 3 evo commercials to every wp7 commercial everyday. If you look at googles playbook.. they dont play to lose. When they corner the market, they do it in ALL out fashion.

Next year the top 5 will be 1)Android 2)Symbian 3) RIM 4) IOS 5) Windows

Looking at the stats based here http://www.biggtech.com/mobile/andro...tain_3737.html Android is probably already the #2 seller in Europe behind Symbian based on Q4 sales.http://droidfreeapps.com/2010/12/and...ian-in-europe/

Its only a matter of time...not many people are expecting WP7 to have much impact as I pretty much expected.
