Re: Where are all the Window 7.5 phone users
I also don't see how security holes won't come... It's actually part of the mobile OS waiting to be exploited in my opinion :S
If an app maker makes a phone book app, it'll need access to it. And Google/Apple/MS all allow this because they want to promote people to make apps for phones. The difference is that the app makers mostly doesn't use this access with ill intent. But people will once it becomes profitable for them :S WP7 is "malware" free like how macbook/linux are "malware" free (they aren't really...) but because MS holds lions share of PCs, they get hit more. WP7 is now the underdog and claims what macbook/linux users did in past... |
Re: Where are all the Window 7.5 phone users
As to the question to the OP.....
Everyone is not at this site. This site has been proven for most of the mods to have Android or iPhoneys. They should change the name to AndroidiPhonegeeks.com as PocketPC/WIndows Mobile/WP7 is what created this site and they dont care about it any more. XDA, WPcentral, 4pda are better WP7 sites. They have many posts every day about Windows Phone 7. I have not been here in 2 weeks and no more than 1-2 new threads. I was here every day, 2-3 posts a day at least, now, this will be my first post in about a month. If you love Android, good for you, if you love your iPhoney, good for you. We love WP7 and still feel it's the better of the OSes. And I have used the iPhone and Android for a while. To each their own but, If you came to this site for Windows Phone 7 info or discussions, you will be very disapointed... Sorry PPCgeeks, That is how I feel about it and watching for the last year, that is the way it is... |

I have nothing against WP7.
All I was doing was answering a question about choices. Currently WP7 doesn't allow all the features Android does. As for not being a WP7 site. Well we need more people here using it. Am not up on the phone myself because I don't have one. The reason is, it is not an open platform ( same as iphone) therefore can't imo be as customized as Android. How many custom roms are there for it? Do any custom roms add anything new or useful? If a user is looking for a new device and needs features that only another os offers, why would we point them to a device that won't do what they need? In any case, this thread has gotten way off topic. :) If there isn't anything useful to be added to the topic I think we should take any personal disputes to pms or the cage. |

Re: Where are all the Window 7.5 phone users
I'd agree that if a user needs a specific function they should jump on the platform that works for their needs. It's a trade-off balance between performance & function that has to be weighed in.
I personally need: Rock solid performance (no force closes, no need to manage the @^#& OS's memory manually) No degradation of performance (not slowing down from data overload) Close to perfect Exchange translation calendar & contacts (no additional apps needed) Music player that works right with phone calls, incoming text's etc. My wife's EVO 4G has problem after problem software wise that is a huge cause for concern. A friend of mine has a Galaxy S II and seems to run O.K. But for me, the whole app in, app out search for data it pretty old and outdated. The integrated features and slickness of the way a phone should work is found in Windows Phone 7. I need speed for the EVERYDAY tasks, not the one-off occasional uses for a phone. To some people like me their phone is a tool meant to be used to communicate quickly and efficiently. Seen the Smoked by Windows Phone challenges? Yes, I don't spend much time on these forums because I'm not always needing to find solutions to fix my WP7 problems. If I had to use an Android phone for work I'd be posting up a storm over in that forum(s). I'm not currently doing anything on the other WP7 forums but I do listen to the WPCentral podcast. I suspect there haven't been any new PPCgeeks podcasts because there's no time left for those who used to do it. They must be wasting it wallowing in extensive research and support for their personal Android devices. |

I was actually off the forums for about a year because it runs so well. It all has to do with custom roms. I have five solid roms in rotation on my sd card. All running flawless completely from sd. I can't comment on how well the WP runs because I don't have one. Reading comments on the forums I see there are some things it can't do. If those things are not an issue for the people using it then it probably is an awesome device. I am actually glad WP does run so well because we need good compitition in the market. Force companies to keep getting better and bring new stuff to the table. Winmo 6.5 will always be one of my favorites. Was thinking about getting a WP till the EVO came out. Both devices have some give and take I guess. As for podcasts, there is talk of getting it going again. |
Re: Where are all the Window 7.5 phone users
Nice to see I got some action. I really love WM6.5 with custom ROM. I'm just starting to get some problems with Synchronization, I can see the Daylight savings time will be a problem, and I need a new phone before the back falls off this one. But I cannot loose Several features. I will keep reading and learning. Perhaps WP8 will be my solution.

Re: Where are all the Window 7.5 phone users
@kyderr, what features do you want?

I read people running Android from sd. You could have 6.5 and Android. Best of both worlds. :) Edit: Forgot you had a tp2. :) |

Hard to speculate on WP8 when it isn't out yet.
If they were to open it more like WM6.5 was it could definitely be a game charger. Personally I don't see them going that direction but if they look at how popular it was compared to WP7 they may make the changes. |

Oddly enough PCworld has the top 10 phones as all Android.
Granted it was back in January. http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/colle...ll_phones.html I just don't see any proof wp is making huge headway in the market. If someone can post real proof then I will accept it. Making claims without proof to back it is pointless. Not bashing anyone but I believe in facts. |

the first article is all predictions.
the second article claims that the radar is number 3 best selling phone on tmo, but the last article says, and i quote... Quote:
a lot of misinformation coming from this one today. |

Second link is from 2011. So it doesn't say anything useful to us today. Third link just says excedded expectations. What does that mean? Could just mean they sold more than they thought. Nothing proves the claims that two of the top three are wp. |
Re: Where are all the Window 7.5 phone users
Radar 4g was #3 in nov2011 - dec 2011, as of latest results which I am guessing are jan/feb Radar 4g dropped and now Lumia is #3.

Re: Where are all the Window 7.5 phone users
I'd believe it, but sadly the tmobile stores (3 of them near me) had no windows phone to demo :S I got to see it at a ATT store when I checked out the note :S
Can't say that I'm not impressed with it, but I also can't say I'd want one (I'm not into social media so a "connected" phone isn't for me so much as a "tinkering" phone) I can't say that windows phone isn't good to mess with, but I don't have one and well, can't really sit down and tinker with it while the store rep is standing next to you... |

Re: Where are all the Window 7.5 phone users
I don't see how WP7 could have destroyed a platform that was already obsolete. WM6.x had like 1% marketshare if that, I bet WP7 has already overtaken it. MS knew this was a 5 year plan. How many G1s sold when Android first came out, it was a joke. Android? what the hell was that? an ugly keyboard phone that was slow and buggy and was nothing compared to the iphone....
I am like REALLY excited about Windows 8, think about it, it will be across all platforms, ARM versions WP8, man it looks really cool. And WP7 is really sleek. I prefer Android, but WP7 is lightyears better than WM6.x, and I was a flashing junkie! I loved cooking ROMs on my diamond, but it cannot be denied how un-user-friendly WM was. It will also raise the bar for Jellybean and Key Lime Pie as well iOS6 and 7 because they know that MS is not going away. |
