Windows Mobile 7 UI {Photon was discontinued 2008/9, the UI changed in WP7S!)

[xpe1wm]

I waiting for this very long time. And now Microsoft present total stupid fucking shit called Windows Phone 7 :(

[evev13]

MAN, dis ui come straight out da comic books

[algierssolja]

this would be excellent. The crap they are about to put out is going to send me to either apple or android. Ill miss you win mo, but not becasue of win mo of course, but because of the legacy apps that win ph 7 will not support. I will keep a 6.5 phone though.

[BrEnNo1023]

@algierssolja hm, well, it's been out for a while now. have you seen what wp7 can do?

[algierssolja]

@BrEnNo1023 Yea, and I still feel the same. I still pay attn to the winmo community, but WP7 just does not do it for me. I think its worst than the Iphone. Since I have to start from scratch I went with someone familiar an HTC droid. Still felt like I was on my touch pro 2, but just has android running underneath instead of windows 6.5. I have seen the NoDo debacle also. Im done with Microsoft. I wish I had another option for a PC besides MAC or I would ditch Win7.

[djguapo]

1:12 reminds me of Lady Gaga/Beyonce's Telephone: "Sometimes I feel like I live in Grand Central Station"

[algierssolja]

@djguapo htc touch pro 1. I had one. HTC logo right over the scroll wheel.

[windreaver6]

:O oh shizzle its an xperia x1

[lolhuisje]

OMG :O

will that mean the x1 will be able to upgrade to wm7?

[windreaver6]

@lolhuisje nah lol, it lacks the hardware. microsoft created this commercial before snapdragon handsets were even in development

[learnbemobile]

Photon was discontinued cause of the "not-flexibility" of the UI. The new WP7S UI can be changed as you want. It is more user-friendly and easy to use. I added descriptions to the video. And the song-name is now in the video, too.

[chltmdwp]

@learnbemobile i couldn't see the song name! But how does new Tile UI looks better than the one we see here? I mean come on! I want Photon now! Wait... is windows phone 8 gonna be Photon?

[chltmdwp]

Do you guys know why project Photon was discontinued? I really wanted the blue theme Windwos mobile 7 OS.... not some Zune like OS series.

[BigSleepyOx]

How did anyone get the idea that this was a Windows Mobile 7 video? Windows Phone 7 Series looks nothing liket his at all.

[chltmdwp]

@BigSleepyOx see the title carefuly. WM7 UI... this is just UI not a handset.

[CassettePlaya1]

@bathellfire Lol its not even Windows Mobile 7 either but Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional..which ultimately sucked, as this video demonstrates

[trueleech]

Has anyone noticed what song was playing at 1:45 ?

[moyingyeung]

@trueleech Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give Up

[trueleech]

@moyingyeung WOAH NO SHIT.

[defufna]

Are they promoting gadgets for terrorists, who spend their time blowing up cities ?

[Hakuin1000]

is she talking that slow on purpose? barely understandable anyway.

[stupidjunk978]

LOL, this is nothing like the actual Windows Phone 7

[clebus]

thought he was going to pull out a box of Ferrero Rocher for a moment then

[krjcook]

LOL guys this isn't Windows Phone 7, it's just a concept video from last year. The OS doesn't look even close to this. If you want Window Mobile 7 info just hit up engadget, gizmodo, or CNET. Once you see it, you'll be amazed.

[mightymelee]

And Windows mobile has Failed again..

[JKTheDoc]

@mightymelee

Given that MS software can run on unlimited combination of h/w it's much better than Apple. If they were to optimize their s/w to run on one single h/w configuration they would smoke Apple in no time. Just look at how the Xbox destroyed the PlayStation, which was far more dominant in gaming than the iPhone is right now in telecom. That's because MS software for the Xbox is built for this single h/w configuration.

[krjcook]

This isn't a fail because that's not Windows Mobile 7. It's a concept from last year. I recommend you do more research.

[scrollslikebutter]

Hah. They took the aerial shots from 1408.

[jsauce75]

The song is called "The Sound of Science" by Guy Skornik, zab

[djguapo]

"it is our mesh"

...very subtle

[NNesin]

People said windows 7 will only come to capacitive touchscreens (so only HTC Leo [HD2]), and not resistitive, so why do i see a sony ericsson xperia x1/2?...

[skythra]

@NNesin There was a lot of debate when microsoft started talking about specific requirements of manufacturers, things like "Its mandatory to have a windows button on your mobile" but they dropped that. So who knows. All I know is there is no OS limitation of them being able to use this on a resistive screen, and capacitive touch at the OS level was introduced in 6.5. What microsoft choose to make mandatory will be clear in time..

[rfleming403]

part that excited me most was at 1:27

on the screen it says Microsoft cloud server...anyways they said their sticking xbox live somehow into windows mobile sooo, cant wait!!! my contracts over and im tired of waiting!!

[themangokid21]

i got the tilt 2 with wm 6.5 flawed as it may be i got alot of problems patched and got some programs to help it run faster and smoother

so i wont be upgrading till they get it right with wm 7

[geezezy]

I hope microsoft just deliver a simple eye-catching current user inerface and overall just get it right for once. I am a fan of WM, but i also know about the poor reputation when it comes to UI. Why do they never get it right? I mean even something based around the flow of Windows Media Centre UI on a Windows XP PC would be pretty good, so finally I just hope they get it right!

[skythra]

@geezezy I think you're not paying attention. the UI on the previous windows mobile (6.0) has been around since February 12, 2007. Its had minor revisions but the UI upgrade supposed to come with 6.5 only JUST got released. Windows mobile has relied on mobile makers to put a skin over their operating system. HTC have done a very good job. People over at MoDaCo too have really refreshed the OS. But the end truth is the OS os old and slow.

[sacruz1984]

The HD2 looks amazing, and if Windows 7 is as good as they say, im upgrading this April to the HD2, i hope im not disappointed, Cross your Fingers!

[MoneyDanceFashion]

wow this whole video is base on the best mobile software at the best city in the world .. NEW YORK CITY, and wow everytime i see videos like this i feel so proud to say THAT I LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY in the LOWER MANHATTAN and work the same streets and the GrandCentral station that is shown on this videos .. NEW YORK CITY THE BEST CITY EVER and no city will be better then NYC ...

[mitchelleersel]

wow youre so right (sarcasm) not being hatefull but you've lost it

[miradolla]

microsoft and htc are partners for a long time now. furthermore htc produces the best hardware to run windows mobile in a great way.

htc is the raising star in smartphone market, combined with a solid new wm 7 os the new htc phones will be awesome!

[tyrmif]

@thepolack18 not really. at 0:47 it's a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. Looks kinda odd actually but would be great if the X1 & X2 can be upgraded to WinMo 7 even though they don't meet the minimum requirements.

[mitchelleersel]

Sony ercisson is made by HTC !!! check it out for your self if you don't believe it it's called HTC Kovsky

[girlsdrinkfeck]

well , HTC do make the best phones

[mastersam24]

that would be teh awesome sauce

[Inukendo101]

Windows Mobile looks awesome.

[noelschneider]

rofl hes rick rolled

[Lazymob]

il... il just stay with the iphone...

[PenileFracture]

@Lazymob

Go ahead.

Immerse yourself in whatever joy or false sense of belonging Apple may bring you.

[girlsdrinkfeck]

ok , u stay with a limited phone

[Inukendo101]

Of course, you return... one of you Apple drones out there. If you do not like Windows Mobile 7 then leave! NAO! I need a Windows Mobile 7 phone.

[bluefisch200]

Windows Mobile 7 is something totally new(a few weeks ago there was a keynote for a few reporters and they just say that they LOVE the new OS)...and it is not that what you see in this video...

[Juniorpond]

...ok o_O

[RickySanchezA]

name of song?

[mittudomen15]

its a brand new feature

[mudvayne852]

GEARS OF WAR FTW!!!!

[dtvfan24]

Nice look

I like the idea of the Microsoft Cloud providing stats screen

[Argcz]

i have no idea whats this add about :(

[mrburman1]

what song is that

[republicfalcon]

can someone tell me why the xperia x1 is the cellphone of choice to promote windows mobile 7 ....

YET SONY ERICSSON ISNT RELEASING IT THEMSELVES FOR X1 CUSTOMERS?

FOR FUCKS SAKE, GET WITH THE PROGRAM, SE.

[bhangi]

LOL hahahahhaa

[animalmansahal]

yeh, if u think, 800mhz is fast....check out the htc touch hd 2, 1ghz processor! amazing shit! lol

[girlsdrinkfeck]

toshiba tg01

[OmniaChannel]

yea....and HD2 is capacitive!

[DanePax]

Data cloud, cloud services, could computing... hmm just another marketing fog to hide the fact that people want to control our digital content and activities.

Not good people, not good... just think about it

[XbellehboyX]

hahaa kinda looks like a countdown till the end of tge world XD

[zzz11y]

wah!! X1 is running wm 7!!!

[DripDr0p]

i dont get it.

whats the cloud sever?

[maddawg579]

It's the idea that all your personal content (music, videos, pictures, documents, games, etc.) can be connected wirelessly between your PC, Phone, and gaming console/TV.

You purchase a song on one of those (phone, for example), and it automatically works with the other two (PC, and gaming console).

Basically, it's a way to make life easier for everyone.

[TheOriginalChris]

lool n00b...sorry :P in the future all data processing and storage will happen "in the cloud" which is a bunch of servers somewhere on the internet. So your mobile or home computer is very cheap and not powerful and does all of its work online so that you can take it anywhere with you around the world on any device. It's the future of all computers

[speedy47800]

holy shit that was sweet... that tv was kick ass

[totemxl]

cool!! Microsoft is the real innovation!

[segr3do]

Unfortunatly, the Microsoft prototypes from reality have a HUGE difference...

[maddawg579]

The Zune HD is actually better than its prototypes, if you ask me.

So is the MS Surface.

Stop thinking about MS from 5 years ago. MS is having a great year, and I hope it stays that way.

I guess Windows 7 and Project Natal will be some big factors in deciding whether or not MS can live up to the hype.

[xxWOLFPACxx]

Does anyone know if WM7 will also be available for the HTC touch HD?

[surgeyX]

No. The way mobile OS's work is they want you to buy a new device..

[roketjack]

No, not officially, but chance are XDA will port it over.

Please note it isn't released yet, so hold tight for late 2010.

[DarkSummoner00]

cool, 2010

[RichisRichis]

Wooo!!! The future it´s coming!! :-D

[zamrock20]

when wil phones [preloaded with win mo 7 come ?

[chltmdwp]

you are welcome~ But i have no idea how much RAM there are in Omnia 2, so it might not work at all. But i can't wait to get WM7!!! though 6.5 looks promising.

[chltmdwp]

@Netta, looking at omnia 2 generations, those cpu specs are looking good to run WM7. so don't lose your hope of getting Omnia 2. BTW, there is cpu overclocking program in Omani 2 series

[IIAegisII]

Man Windows Mobile 7 is going to be a Power House...i know for a fact WM7 will have a Navadia Graphic Drivers and + cloud computing man cant wait for such an OS its going to change the World of Windows Mobile completely

[jimv1983]

What the hell is Navadia? Do you mean Nvidia?

[IIAegisII]

haha yea i need to stop commeting so late at night

[Feircejaguar]

LOL, wth are you saying? WinMo 7 wont have "Navadia" graphic drivers unless it has an Nvidia gpu inside...

[helli3yte]

@IIAegisII thats funny, because i bought a windows 7 phone the other day, and i returned it because it was no where near what android can do. too bad, the phones wont sell that much. you'll see

[IIAegisII]

@helli3yte Well I run both Wm6.5 and Android and I like Android but I still can't say it's better since I haven't used WM7, yet.

[chltmdwp]

does anyone knows the music playing? i like it!

[Nguyen360]

The guys using Xperia!!!!!!!!

[jessiethe3rd]

This is a visionary video around Microsoft's strategy of Software + Services... not all cloud computing but the capability to use software with clound computing to better connect people. The movie is a bit older.

[h5e5l5l5o5]

768th!

[Jimbo282]

Is this a promo for Windows Mo 7 or for Cloud computing?

[cdambati]

Seventh! - YEAH

[macbookpro57]

why was everyone using either the touch pro or the sony xperia? =)

[dragche90]

i am not..... i am using ASUS P565 fastest on the world.... :)

[goford90]

wow i just looked up the processor for that device. holy cow it has an 800MHz processor!!!!!!!

[Dinraxxx]

wait.If this is 800MHz processor,How can it run on a HTC Touch Pro 512 MHz?It's odd. O.O

[chltmdwp]

you mean Samsung Omnia 2's 800 MHz processor?

[stlucianrasta92]

bcuz those two devices are basically the measuring sticks in which all other windows mobile devices are compared to. i kno that sounded a bit too dramatic than it shoulda been lol
