What do you think of Windows Phone 7?

Also, I like the way 6.x is structured, I know it inside & out, and I don't wanna have to learn a new OS. I like having all the options that I do now with 6.x, I don't need/want a 'simplified' OS. This is why I keep saying they need to offer both 7 & 6.x.

All in all- I'm sure if I HAD to adapt, I could. But I like the way things are now, and I just hate being unnecessarily uprooted.

ohh ok. I follow you. But wouldn't you want a phone that can do the same amount of things in a much simpler way?

I understand the money invested in apps part.

then don't upgrade. they're going to have 6.x devices at the same time. you can continue to run your outdated apps into the ground. If what you're upset about is apps, then you should be happy because we're finally going to get some awesome ones. All the current good apps will likely be refreshed or ported over anyway.

I think the ui is unfinished. Everything will likely be spruced up. If you look at the zune hd ui and compare it to wp7, you can clearly see how unfinished wp7 really is... they just needed something to show or they would've been hammered by everyone. There's obviously a lot that wasn't mentioned or explained. There's going to be voice search, but they didn't show that off because it's not done. Did you see the dialer? it's very plain looking and obviously not done, which has to be why they didn't bother showing it. The xbox live hub was static too. One of the reps mentioned that when it's done it will be fully animated, almost like the xbox live experience. They had undeveloped placeholders throughout, so expect to see something different at the end of the year.

You were still wrong. And it was proven, for all to see. Just because you hide from the truth doesn't make it any less true.

I believe that dumb phone are restrictive. You can not mess with the operating system. In windows mobile 6.5 the user can access the windows operating system. I can drag and drop cabs and music from my pc to the folder I want on my windows phone. A dumb phone is a phone in which the user can't access the operating system. You can not access the os in an iphone or a blackberry. I heard that you won't be able to install applications on your sd card in windows mobile 7 for example.

You can access system files in iPhones. It's called SSH.

I did not know that, thanks for the tip. Can you add applications and music through the system files? Also can you access your system files and take the music and applications from your Iphone and put it on the computer?

You access the iPhones system files thru your computer. drag and drop any files in there(in the correct folder). Install apps(even cracked), customize the Theme, Total control of the device. But you gotta be careful not to mess with important files.

I don't think you understand. The OS can do that. We already know that. The problem is the 3rd party Apps. There is no clear statement about 3rd party apps being paused in the background. That is what the discussion in XDA about and the backwards compatibility.
