$100 Challenge 6: Windows Phone live from CES 2012

[dannydathua]

 at first the guy was like, " hehe easy money" then he was like, " God Damn it!!!"

[taniamarg86]

WP7 advert is all centered on speed, no mention of lack of usb drive emulation, lack of filesystem, no serious browser other than buggy IE, no connection sharing (or maybe but with tons of limitations to make Microsoft happy).. that's the real dealbreaker! Android FTW

[jkitch03]

@taniamarg86 Internet Explorer hasn't been buggy for WP7 since launch, and it hasn't been buggy for PC since IE9.

[thousandfootkrutchro]

@taniamarg86 since IE8, IE has been getting better. I currently use IE9(Switched from Google Chrome) and I am in love with the browser. It is quick and loads things faster than both Google Chrome and FireFox. The only browser to beat it on my computer is Opera. Also there are apps on Windows Phone that make it a USB drive. You can connect them to your PC via WiFi and pull files into this app and store them. File system is not that important to most smartphone users either.

[rmaynard626]

@taniamarg86 What Microsoft has done is pioneered the way of incorporating cloud networking within the smartphone environment. SkyDrive is the filesystem that allows endusers to quickly store copies of important documents from the cloud onto the smartphone. This eliminates wasting storage space. That is the great thing about WP7; it gives the phone user the ability to access and manipulate data on the fly, without worrying about space utilization.

[lopapapapa]

@taniamarg86 buggy IE by your statement I can tell u have never used a windows phone. Your are comparing the IE in the desktop windows to IE on the phone both are different.

[ryananderson280195]

Windows is challenging iPhones, gooooo trolls to ur keyboards

[MrScarykat]

haha...the funniest part is 1:15 =D

[Pandemonium44]

Haven't used Windows Phone so I don't wanna criticize it but I can say that the 4s can take much clearer pictures than the shown here, it looks as though they PS it and added a giant light blur in the pic. Or the guy with the 4s just had glare on his case. And iPhone was slower, but 1 second here and there, don't matter to me.

[EWHRDIII]

Windows Phone has the fastest growing app store in the world, and the best mobile OS... in the world. The HTC Titan II has the best megapixel camera (for smartphones) in America. I personally love Windows Phone.

[chongvang916]

iPhone is the mother of all phones 

[szecska5]

@chongvang916 and Windows Phone is the father... ;)

[penguins7383]

@szecska5 oh no you didnt boi! hahaha, wp7 is the best

[Alexpro680]

(typical stereotype sorry)

[Alexpro680]

He is declaring jihad on Ben

[Droid5767]

@danieltamurejo im also so sorry but the windows phone been better, and faster in every way ( except size of the apple app store) but that dosent mean windows phone marketplace is not big also ;-)

[cicciolinaevergine]

c'è rimasto de merda XD

[danieltamurejo]

So sorry, but nothing could be better than an Iphone...good luck!

[annaju86]

The real fact is that 1 second faster doesn't mean anything when you have to spend one day to unlock your phone and half an hour to activate a proprietary software on your wp7 phone and yell at Microsoft for wasting your time!

[dantor86]

Ah ah ah !!! il tipo c'è rimasto di caxxo!! XDXDXD

[iNazdel]

i want his jacket

[adamax]

Yes its that fast! People have a hard time believing it when I say I took the pic already then I have to show them.

[bananaphone1987]

I couldve taken a faster clearer picture with my iphone

[adamax]

@bananaphone1987 Perhaps faster than the guy with the iPhone in the video but not against the windows phone. And I will bet you a $100 on it.

[xDet3rmin4tionx]

Are all of these videos basically about taking pictures?

[deviantsoul03]

He looks so pissed that he lost

[mkr10001]

this is my favourite video

he was like...i won....."no dude he said it before you"....oh :(

[markavozen]

These make me laugh... NERD RAGE! lol

[IVisionLive]

HEMADBROLOLOL

[TheOrangeType]

i did this at the same time and unless there was editing i finished before BOTH of them using an HTC desire s...

[mil0ny]

Lol

[REIDOPLANETA]

Obvious bullshit. Let me choose the model, then we'll see if it's actually faster than any Android/iPhone

[WP7User]

@REIDOPLANETA AGREED!

[wehatemacs]

@REIDOPLANETA That's not the way it works though. He chose his phone, people accepted his challenge. Simple as. Why does it matter what windows phone it is anyway? My HD7, which is a first gen WP7 is just as quick.

[REIDOPLANETA]

@wehatemacs fair enough. I've just got an HTC Radar today as well, and I understand that video better. However I find the tittle a little exagerated, Windows Phone does not smoke no one, it's just built to be online and accessible :)

[TheProjectAlexander]

@REIDOPLANETA When referring to speed or a race, the term "smoked" is used a lot. From experience with an incredible amount of devices, though Windows Phone is new and lacks certain things, there is no comparison when it comes to speed, haha.

[wehatemacs]

@REIDOPLANETA just like any marketing technique really. You can say the same about all of the lying bullshit apple ads as well. Marketing is simply the act of manipulating the information about the product to make a positive message or a clever gimmick.

On this occasion, I think the title is more justified than many and the whole idea is good, but yeah, there is plenty of room for manipulation and exaggeration in this video.

[ymcpa73]

@REIDOPLANETA That's the whole point. Smart phones are about being online and WP integrated a lot of the evertday functions use into the phone. IOS and Android rely on apps to perform these function. Therefore, WP doesn't need the higher specs to perform the everyday tasks. However, as games become better for mobile, WP will be at a disadvantage unless they up their specs soon.

[TheProjectAlexander]

@wehatemacs I also have an HD7, and if you follow the video, and do the same things, it's just as fast, haha.

[wehatemacs]

@TheProjectAlexander it's a good phone. I really like it. Only downside is that now I've seen the Titan II, I want one of those.

[TheProjectAlexander]

@wehatemacs You and I, my friend, are in the exact same position, hahaha. That phone looks stunning. I don't give a tit's dick about 1080p video, because the phones that do shoot it, don't do it well anyway, haha.

[rmaynard626]

@wehatemacs I know! Man, I have to agree! I'm in love with my Titan, and newer models are coming out so fast. Imagine how next years model will be?

[Xtreem00]

@REIDOPLANETA They all run the same guts inside the only difference is the camera on the majority of phones.

[cmvedder2]

@REIDOPLANETA use the device, then bash on it. nice try at trolling though

[cmvedder2]

the challenger is a fucking artard

[cmvedder2]

@cmvedder2 windows phone forever :)

[letch1965]

PWND :)



[chunzhu21]

come on, angle problem and cause the picture like that?

[golDarkrai]

I love that every windows phone has the camera button

[crazyeduardo9]

Lol nice

[JorJorArmany]

hahahahah! the 4s guys looks disappointed...

[BlazingPuppies]

lol he held his phone up and was already starting the camera app before the guy said go

[ShadowFreezer06]

@BlazingPuppies actually you can use the dedicated camera key to open the camera from the lock screen lol

[iNazdel]

umadbro? there isnt shaky hand u were ready

[manjurtr180]

awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeee

[kidjenius]

lol that guy was NOT happy

[cKlutcHJ21]

Haha, shaky hand? Ben even gave him a bit of a head start by starting low.

[shiznak55]

u can tell that guy has a hard on for his iphone.

[phendrome]

I enjoy this more than I should do, hahahaha.

[wixostrix]

@phendrome lmao. I was totally thinking the same thing watching these.

[nyle123nyle]

shaky hand excuse

[MonkeyBalls565]

Lql Excuses

[armydawg1292]

when i tell iphone people that my phone is better they laugh but facts dont lie!

[TheAdarsh92]

wp7 - 2

apple iphone -1

[cKlutcHJ21]

@TheAdarsh92 Are you basing that off of the videos that they posted? Because according to Twitter, it's been wp7 = a lot and iphone = 1.
