WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE PHONE ITSELF NO WHAT IT RUNS ON?

[swif99]

sloooooowwww !!!!!!

[virtualmachine07]

@swif99 This was very early prototype software. The release version is very snappy.

[jamit141]

3:13 lol i think i'll stay with android. the only thing i like about this is the zune software app.

[jadephyre]

Goodbye multitasking.

What set apart WM from iOS is now tossed out the window altogether (except for some programs).

[kagunmmm]

We Need A Mobile Version Of Windows 7, Not Another Regular Mobile O.S.

[TechWareTutorials]

will it work with verizon

[619crazyk]

its a bit like the zune hd software

[timberw01f]

@619crazyk Actually, WP7 UI and kernel is base on Zune HD.

[xXPUN1SH3RXx]

POS!

[R4z1n9Th3R00f]

at the launch of WP7, i hope there is 60Hz kinetic scrolling and pinch-zooming, ad really good games. only then will ever consider buying an LG panther, i wonder what other handsets will have windows phone 7

[vhira86]

I know this is a prototype version but i hope this phone is fast. If the buttons are unresponsive and if the UI is choppy I sware ill have to switch to an IPHONE, The pre was promising and I loved the multi tasking abilities. But a slow phone gets OLD REALLY QUICK. Im ditching my pre for this.

[nogirlnolife]

what a loser interface! probably 20% of the screen on the right is wasted.. and nothing seems to fit in the screen.. the phone looks nice though... microsoft is going down..I prefer winmo 6.1 than this one.

[junexyz2009]

its not capacitive touch screen why? this man using his finger nails hmmmm

[Darkensei]

iPhone owners, do not worry. Sooner than later this will be hacked so it runs on the iPhone.

:P I bet my money on that :D

[TheMattist]

@Darkensei i bet you a million dollars that it never gets hacked to run on iphone.

[kagunmmm]

The Idea was good but they messed it up...they should have made it more like windows 7 on the PC, faster,smoother & better than mobile 6.5 and all they had to do was put a nice interface over it the way HTC does

[asianoutcast87]

@kagunmmm

I know I'm reseponding two months late....but you do know what that is what they did with winmo and ended up failing horribly. What MS didn't understand was the a mobile phone is a mobile phone, not a PC.

[AlaskanFloundrBasket]

@oCHR0MIUMo the search button doesnt just search through shit on the phone it can also search the web, if you actually watched the video, you can search for something you want and get directions to it without opening the internet and going to a specific search site.

@aristotledude not sure how having 6 main hubs isn't simple. please explain. as for it being "ugly" M$ is simply taking a more modern aesthetic approach, whether it's ugly or not is a matter of opinion

[djpuente]

my god the iphone WAS the reference long time ago. this is a windows phone so why so many idiots talk about the iphone that is more a gaming console than a phone???!!!

[jesse1779]

It's funny to hear all the Steve jobs ball lickers talk sh@t about this OS they're really scared that their ball licking will end perhaps you can lick your own balls for a while. I'll be smashing my iPhone as soon as I dan get one of these. Won't it be nice to have a phone who's speaker I can actually here outside of church

[MrUser383883]

you guys need to know that this is a PROTOTYPE..or in other words..STILL IN PRODUCTION...why would they come out with UI slower than the last one..that doesn't make sense.

[thewebmogul]

Thank goodness it does not have the ugly icons like crappy iphone or android. Windows phone 7 way more better UI look and more up to date. Bye Bye lack of features Iphone and Android.

[jondegeuve]

SLOW!!!!

[waiyichan15]

when does it come out?

[T4Taco]

I can finally throw my iPhone out.

It was never as great as people says it was. Just a glorified app launcher. Some of the things that are integrated into WinPho 7 would take 4-5 apps to open up, one at a time on the iPhone. But on here it's all on one screen.

This is def my next device.

[Inuboy1000]

@T4Taco I agree. I cannot wait for this phone OS to come to actual phones. I shall be getting mine through Sprint. I am surprised that Microsoft has been making awesome products.

[hullohulloRFC]

the start screen looks crap

[pepphell]

Seriously, when you press on search -- WHY THE F DONT YOU GET THE KEYBOARD RIGHT AWAY? why do you have click on search button, then tap on the search bar? HOW MUCH SENSE DOES IT MAKE TO TAKE TO SEARCH SCREEN WITHOUT THE KEYBOARD. YOU FKNUTS.

[pepphell]

I agree. The following things are retarded:

a) dedicated button for searching? WTF

b) navigating people by clicking on alphabe and then picking the alphabet and then scrolling down???? WTF

c) IE??? this is nuts. why are you using slow IE?

[T4Taco]

@pepphell, you haven't even touched the device let alone use it on a finished hardware platform and you're passing judgment.

You sir, are a tool.

[rockfest78]

@pepphell , doesnt the iphone have a whole screen dedicated to searching? WTF

[XeadXhot]

@rockfest78 windows mobile did 10 years ago, in 2000

start, programs, search

[aristotledude]

MSFT never heard of KISS (keep it simple stupid). The hub idea does not work. The UI is too cluttered and square. It is ugly.

[kamalsutra]

ROTATE TO LANDSCAPE!!!

[ohnoperiod]

I'm loving the UI, but the phone itself is not that appealing, look s kinda small and too square-ish

[lidermin]

Finally something new ! not another iPhone UI copy (Andr...d) I'm an iPhone fan but this will be my next phone for sure (bye 3Gs)... Am I or it seems like Microsoft is finally doing things well !

[thewebmogul]

Bye Bye Lack of features Apple Iphone and also you too Android, Droid and blackberry. Now we have a phone which is more in demand and LIVE.

[netfaux]

@thewebmogul Lmfao. What the hell is this shit. This OS looks like a dirty hairy bear ass with dingle berries hanging off it. 

[thewebmogul]

@netfaux hahaha it better looking than your piece of crap iphone4 ugly candy icons LOL... and looks more modern in technology compare to junk iphone4 hahhaha. Also how iphone4 attenna still down with drop calls and good luck in getting a call or make a call hahaha iphone4 is like BP oil getting fix? with all iphone morons complaining and how's your gay case did you get one LOL.. windows phone 7 can't wait have a real working phone.

[JojoTheJoCpuMaster]

@thewebmogul so agree. =) although I like the iphone4 i just hate the fact that they are on at&t they could have been something bigger than they r now. By the way this phone looks alright, I hate the OS tho it looks to simple.

[InsaneMoogly]

Not really into Windows phones, however it's not bad. I'll stick to Android though. :]

[nokia8888]

wtf....

[Factoflife2000]

Love it! Can't wait till it comes it!

[twinky212]

Nice video, but it is the ugliest ever !

[thealexweb]

The keyboard looks 2D, they haven't even attempted to make it look like
