what else should i be able to do from a contact?

Also note that whatever interface you are using will have a different one. The one in my SPB Mobile Shell- which automatically downloads the contact pictures from facebook, probably looks way nicer and more finger friendly than the stock contact cards on the Nexus One. I know for a fact it is way nicer than the ones on the G1.

Hopefully WinMo 7 and its hardware standards will help. I'm sure it will. But MS needs to get off their ass and get open up app development. I feel like they're really limiting themselves to the types of customers they can get and soon, Saltydawg, I think the tables are going to turn on the whole smartphone marketshare and WinMo will be the minority.

guess saltydawg's claim about advertising was spot on.

See this is what I like to see being exchanged, facts with actual numbers, and they collaborate exactly with the numbers SaltDwg was saying. I especially like the the source. Wall Street Journal Report dated Feb 5th, three days ago

If it comes down to the ability to use skyfire vs better apps, speed, screen response, and being more user friendly I have to choose the second option.

While I understand the process in which SkyFire Achieves its flash playback ability I just have to add

- Playing FaceBook Poker App on Skyfire right now and I just won a tournament hehe 1-3 tables and im eligible for some laptop or a hdtv, it's the thought that counts, anyway I did enter an entry for the Vegas trip, but yea I didn't get a call back from Zynga lol

So this is live with people on Facebook and they're not even aware I'm on my WinPhone

i actually dumped mobile shell and am happy with the touchflo right now. i loved some things about mobile shell, others not so much. when it froze on me last week, i uninstalled it.
the touchflo contacts also integrates facebook. a good way to get pics and bdays and such.

i have played evony on my phone. only thing is that you can't type on it. skyfire says that is an ongoing improvement as more sites are using flash for logins so it will be supported in the future.

thats not exactly a concrete way to track sales, not at all

"Those figures aren't official; they're based on mobile app usage by newly-detected phones, divided by the types of phones detected. The numbers suggest that Nexus One sales haven't significantly sped up or slowed down over the course of a month."

Only that the Market wold collapse without competition? Or are you imagining a communist Nazi America, where you're the one and only developer of a flying car.. Sounds like an interesting movie plot, very sci-fi

I'll give you this one, Android supports more colors but as far as easier, HD2's Sense slider works very well for getting to SMS quickly and you could argue the Sense for WinMo has more "screens" dedicated with HTC Sense themed service i,e twitter, web (with updating bookmarks) settings tabs is awesome now, that's its been consolidated

One word. Flash big part of the Internet as we know it in this present day. Until Android gets flash its not better. I'm not just talking skyfire here, IE mobile supports you-tube natively aswell. Adobe plans to have full Flash 10.1 on Windows Phones shortly as well [/QUOTE]

APPS- Windows Mobile has by far the largest application catalog, Just because they've been around longer does not make this not true, Some Apps designed for WM6.0 and 5.0 have they're quirks but im still amazed at some of they're versatility. Windows Mobile 6.5 apps now support a larger amount of screen resoltions, and compatibility such as finger friendly tools and kinetic scrolling thanks for Windows 6.5 kinetic engine"

-Google Maps - HD2 with Digital Compass fast processing 1GHZ - Yea I think that'll do nicely, which way is north again?

Windows MarketPlace - I think yours is called Android Market or something childish like that

-You name it I can almost definitely find it better on the HD2

Once again, you're talking in extremes, watch here as the keyword is (only)

There are are so many things people will enjoy more an a business oriented device, i.e word, power point, pico projector which offers entertainment applications aswell such as full playstation emulation on the Expos (1ghz Snapdragon + a Projector and some bluetooth Controllers = Office Party.
music apps, Opn Market, alternative browsers/flash support, It's a wonderful world on Windows Phone

Windows memory management got better in Windows Mobile 6.6 or 6.5.3, anyway, the official SDK is out and RTM'ed at Windows Mobile Build 23090

improved memory management was on the list somewhere, if you believe update reports which you seem to, because that new Nexus update magically fixed everyone's spotty NexusOne tmbile 3G coverage.

I still say the day the vast majority of people believe software and technology is absolute "magic" as Steve Jobs loves to say about the IPad, is the day humanity steps backwards in evolution and we digress into two separate but somewhat familiar species.

p.s this was one just one of pSlims comment posts, I took the liberty of observing

Well that is all we have since google has been so hush-hush about their disappointing sales numbers. I see they lowered the ETF on the Nexus One today in an attempt to hopefully move more of them.

This way of estimating sales numbers has proven to be extremely accurate though. They can see which ones are new devices in the app store.

[p-slim]

Deimoss wait, are you saying winmo 6.5.x has better memory management then android?

Google isn't being hush hush about their sales. The phone just came out and its not doing bad, they just want to move more units. Salty and deimoss is the reason winmo lost marketshare to iPhone. They didn't want to change. You have to change with the times which is what Microsoft is finally doing. You guys keep forgetting the head start Microsoft had over all these other companies. Microsoft has missed out on so much $ dealing with you dinosaurs. They're finally making the move and will win back support from developers, HTC will finally give them the commercials you want, when they create some random app like NBA gametime or Pandora, winmo finally wont be left out. Its time for winmo 6 to go bye bye.
