Re: Is there any way to use WM programs on the WP7

Ok, thanks. I didn't realize they actually had an SD card INSIDE the phone. I thought it had the standard memory modules as was in most phones and htey expected you to create storage "in the clouds". I talked with the guys a Tarascon and I'l just suscribe to their web based edition of the Pharmecopiea for now and they are working on the WP7 version. If thati pans out, I may delay my interest in going Droid. 16Gb is probably more than enough for me at this point in time. I think even back int eh days of my 2210/2415/x51v I didn't carry much more than about 6gb total between the two cards.

If your a Windows Mobile guy like I have been for many years (and it appers you have), You'll love WP7... Give it a fair shot, I don't think you will be disapointed.

I do still have my 2gb card when I had my hX4700...the good old days...

Enjoy !

Re: Is there any way to use WM programs on the WP7

To the first question. No, someone would have to make some sort of emulator which will not happen. The medical application should be available after the official mango is released. There will be lots more WP7 applications when it becomes more mainstream. Which IMO can't be before mango comes out.

To your question about WP7 being redesigned, from my experience with WM6.5, it was always slower then most phones that I used, it lagged and was unstable requiring more restarts that I wanted to deal with. From my WP7 experience, their goal is stability and speed which they have greatly succeeded on accomplishing.

I always thought that most Windows 6.5 users on this site would enjoy android. What windows 6.5 had going for it was it's ability to be customized which I think that android dominates. As for speed, dependability and insanely quick boot times, WP7 can't be beat IMO. I do agree that he will not be disappointed though.

I honestly hated the whole Windows Phone 7 thing before giving it a try. After my TP2 broke I went if for a replacement and while waiting I saw an arrive. Played with it for a few minutes and loved how quick it was, how useful the search was and how it just worked. I then found out about the Sero Premium plan then I was sold. I would have gotten an epic 4g long ago but the loss of my sero plan kept me with the TP2. I'm happy that I waited.

I can attest to this 16gb is enough especially if u are going to get a Zune pass, u can stream all the music u want on demand wherever u have a data or WiFi connection. and with VEVO u can watch almost any music video u want wherever. as soon as u get it tho I recommend that u install the mango beta on it, doing this will give u SkyDrive access to save ur documents,pics and videos. also the ability to chat on Facebook, link mailboxes and more!
