What do you think of Windows Phone 7?

[correct]

tp2 till the wheels fall off!!!!!!!

Right now I would say I'm sticking with 6.1-6.5, unless W7 supports custom ROM/cabs.



Not switching to Android phone cause I can dual boot that from 6.1 now if I want to use it. I like the fact that I can choose which os to use depending on how I feel.

You can dual boot and still be missing half of the features of Android.. did that when I had a tp2 and now that I have a droid its nowhere NEAR the same. Thats like me saying I can get the same feel of the HD2 simply because I had a leo rom running on my tp2.

It's incredibly obvious who MS is competing with and that is such a turn-off for me. If I wanted an IPhone, I would buy one. Microsoft has completely lost my loyalty with this latest iteration.

I like my phone to be customizable in every way so that I can make it my own.

I like my phone to be able to have multiple apps open at once.

I like my phone to be able to run an app developed by ANYONE.

I like my phone to allow me more control over it's functions.

I like my phone NOT TO HAVE APP HEADER TEXT CUT OFF THE SCREEN.

Everyone can call it "innovative" all they want, but to me they can keep it and I'll gladly jump to Android.

AGREE... completely...
doesnt MS know they have enuff user using their OS to have to complete with the other "company"... come on already!!!

"enough"? Nope, All companies wants to be on top. A company that just aim for "enough" sales should start doing something else.

Here, WM is clearly losing. They need to step up while there's still time. Who bought all those HTC devices? Apparently, we are not enough for WM to make it on top. They are way below.

Yes, WM7 series looks to be a completely different experience. Yes, I'm sure M$ will make money from "their" new devices come the holiday time frame....

I'm not buying this whole shebang. Apps that I've found/bought over the years...all of a sudden is null and void?? I like the bleeding edge, but I don't want (what seems like) a completely new ecosystem to "play" in. If that was the case, I would have jumped to Android when the Hero came out!!

M$ wanted to take their mobile O/S to a different direction...but at the same time...I think they've alienated a bunch of longtime/hardcore WinMo lovers.

So, here is to Supersonic, may you PLEASE come to Sprint...so that I may serve Google and Android willingly and obediently (chances are, we will ALL be indoctrinated at birth thru nanotech developed for Google to have built in ad supported search that can gleam your tendencies thru reading our DNA strand!!)

The reason why microsoft did so horribly was because microsoft never stood behind their product. They were following outdated policy where all you had to do was license it and it move on. I mean the hardware manufacturer's were literally crippling the windows phones so much it is not funny. Thus people were experiencing lag and having all these issue.

I mean if you think about teen audience, how many don't know how to use a computer? they all do, but when they picked up those windows mobile phones and it lagged up like crazy and didn't make phone calls cause they had another app running they just gave up on windows mobile.


If microsoft would have enforced better hardware from them like they do for WP7 now from day 1, microsoft would have been on higher on the list.

WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO THE MONKEYS @ MS PAY NO ATTENTION TO THEIR CORE AUDIENCE??? I JUST WISH THAT HTC WOULD STOP PLAYING AROUND & COME OUT WITH THEIR OWN OS...THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WANT & WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.

AS FOR NOW MICROSOFT...KISS MY ASS!

HTC does know what we want but then they would cripple it a lot then release less crippled versions of the same thing over 3 years >.>

And as stated above Microsoft doesn't care about their core audience anymore...they are abandoning us in favor of more $$$. Don't forget this, microsoft makes around 5-25$ per OS sale, regardless the handset. The wider the audience, more money for them.

I am guessing quite a few people who want customization will swap to android. So if microsoft fails to get wp7 to break into the market, they will have no exit strategy and be dead as far as handsets are concerned.

I am not sure how ppl can tell?
Seriously - Have you done that much research in the last 24 hours since it came out?!
