@xboxmodder02 three points. 1. You rant about Microsoft however you have xboxmodder in your usernamen. Windows mobile/has been around much longer than android 3. To be quite honest windows phone better than android when windows phone was terrible before the windows phone 7 updates
Yeah compared to my news feed in my Facebook app. Not a redundant hub app that is dictated by algorithms that prioritize "whats new," and what it thinks you want to see.
Sounds like a lot of orange squares, and for the contacts there's probably an app for that but not pinned to the welcome screen; cause it needs room for the half million apps.
@richban100 I get the impression you've never used a Windows Phone, as What's New just displays what's new in chronological order from all social networks, not prioritized. As for the orange squares, there are 2 for my contacts: close friends and close family. There is no such thing as a welcome screen in iOS or WP&, so I'm afriad I have no idea what you're talking about, and that you have further reinfored the fact that you're arguing with no facts to back you up.
@anthyman1 Welcome = start screen :S. its my interpretation of the reviews. i only assumed it was priortized because you said it was equivalent length of my feed so it would only make sense to have it prioritized otherwise you could get a billion cat photos pretty easily from Facebook and twitter. Or it has to have about a million pages if it didn't, or small amount of notifications at a time if there is a limit, therefore missing a lot of the important stuff making it a stupid hub. sorryIjump

Chill out. Most people don't even care about the open-source aspect of Android. And WP7 is fucking solid. I have a Galaxy S2 and while I think it's the best phone out right now, I think anyone saying WP7 isn't a good phone is entirely fucking stupid. It's solid. It's good. You don't need a shitload of specs for smooth performance like Android does.
Personnally I prefer the Lumia 800. However you are right. The Windows OS is completelly different from IOS and Android. The design is great, its very intuitive and the apps market is growing really fast.
Never tried Windows phones yet. I just recently switched to iPhone 4s from Android and so far I do not miss it. I can see Android getting better but as of now the iPhone is f***ing awesome.
I dont have a smartphone, but my top choice would be iPhone or windows. Is that the best windows phone? Can i get s good one for less than the iPhone?
@anthyman1 I disagree with your sentiments. I don't care how good WP7's autocorrect is, the keyboard is far too frustrating to use. The fact is that Safari on iOS 5 renders HTML5 content faster than IE on Mango. Safari also beats all other mobile browsers in HTML5 comparability, and Safari is more compatible with more websites. Go to Google.com on a Windows phone and you'll get a basic layout, where on an Android or iOS device, you get the full featured mobile version.
Actually, I have both a WP and an iPod touch, and you're wrong. If anything, IE has better compatibility and is just as fast as Safari. The keyboard is less precise, but the auto-correct is so much better that it more than makes up for the occasional missed key.
im not at hater... but you refer to your bad eyesight due to the lower resolution but you are stating this while your camera focus is locked onto your desk in the background and not on you.... its messing with my eyes....
I use it every day and loooaaathhhh it. The keyboard is horrid. Apps are hideous and IE suuuuucks. Why not stay with Android if you're bored with iOS?
I had a "state of the art" windows phone 1 year ago - HTC HD2 running windows 6.5. To my dismay, I found out that 6.5 was no longer supported. It was poorly supported at best anyway. Phone had a lot of problems... I had Android installed on same phone. It now runs perfectly. HTC makes good phones but Windows operating systems leave much to be desired. I would not advise getting a phone with the new Windows. Too many great choices out there.
my problem with windows phone is that it has such a little amount of games. and the games available normally look a little crappy.. the moment that changes, i immediately switch to wp7 or when it's out wp8..
Confucious say: he ( or she: ) who invents a better and less expensive battery/power-pack energy subsystem, that is also cleaner to the enviroment will make big moolah in future.
--Imagine having only to charge your mobile, slate, or netbook only once a month..lulz,..which is about a loing as my old tiny Nokia monochrome LED screen mobile will last..come to think of it. --
i think the interface is stupid. whys you need huge ass icons, its gonna be hard to find your apps that you need to get at... also why does .3 of a inch makes a difference? sooo does it better distribute radiation..
@richban100 swipe to the right.... and find it there or click the search and go to the letter... SO HARD !! Iphone = million of little icons that don't tell you anything. In WP the icons show u what is happening inside the app.
@manpaisa92 it seems inconvenient where in iOS you can organize in a folder and find it easily. I have like 6 folders, classified as games, work, entertainment, tools, photos & videos, social.. takes me like 3 seconds to find what I want when I want. Also there are notifications that tell you what is happening in the app just swipe down on the screen =.=..
@richban100 OH and btw Microsoft doesn't make hardware just a BTW. You bought a crappy PC that probably cost you 300 dollars and you complain. You get what you pay for.
@richban100 Do the notifications tell u what is the temp ? the progress of your flight/etc ? No, I had an Iphone before i swtiched to Windows Phone, IOS is cute but WP7.5 is superior in every way except the amount of apps. The Metro style is fluid and it takes A LOT less time to do anything in a WP than IOS just look at - "Smoked by a Windows Phone" and you will see.
@manpaisa92 yes it does actually.. it depends on the apps and the notification setting that you have for that app. That video shows nothing other than processing power. It has nothing to do with the usability. People aren't going to notice 3 more seconds for a photo upload unless they want to race everybody's phone and show why they don't have a girlfriend.
You do realize that WP7 has the games, office, music+video, photos, and people hubs, which UNIFY all the features of the plethera of apps you have on your iPhone in one place. As for the others, I have a Windows Phone, and I can find any app on my phone in just about 3 seconds, as they're all neatly alphabitized on a sort of 'all programs' screen
@anthyman1 One place as in another app, with more pages than a new york phone book.. I don't know how you call it unified... okay so 3 seconds for about two apps per class okay maybe 5 apps per classification..
you used "plethera".. =.= aren't you a little too classy for the interweb
@richban100 No, not another app, a HUB. For example, if I go the the People Hub, I get three pages: All contacts (from any social network I may use, my email account, andanything I put in), recent contacts, and a news feed that displays updates form every social network I use (yes, you can narrow the field if you don't want to see all of them). It IS unified, and there are no apps within Hubs.
Pelthera is a misspelling (oops) of plethora; an excess of
@anthyman1 Yes it is. It does a specific task but poorly.. How is it unified if all the ridiculously bright coloured animations and icons take up the real estate for the information that you want into pages within pages or a 6hr stroll through narnia. It should just be more condensed. Mind as well going to the app that the HUB app is pulling it from.
@richban100 The 'What's New' page is no longer than your normal News Feed would be. The contacts page is quite long, which is why I made a group of contacts for the people that 80% of the interaction on my phone is with, and pinned it to my start screen. It's a nice feature, you should try--- oh wait, iOS cannot make contact groups. Tough luck. The rest can be found in a contacts search or by entering the first letter of their name to take you to that part of the contact page.
@richban100 lol at the distribution of radiation. what phone do u have. and im actually getting a phone tomorrow. was wondering ur opinion: windows or iphone?
@GamingFIENDS Anything other than a windows phone.. there are no benefits to it.. nothing that we have seen before. there are so few apps and start ups are not going to be developing for it since its such a small market.
For me windows phone killed it, not a fan of the panel UI, Used Windows since 2003/WM5/WM6. Moved to android 2.3 and now rocking 4.0.3 on Desire HD :)
Lets hope they decide against combining Windows 8 and its Metro UI.. or at least have an option to disable it altogether. Otherwise I'd be sticking with 7 for another while yet :)
You just sound like a hater all around. Anyone who mentions using Windows "since 2003/WM5/WM6" as a reason not to ever own a Windows Phone, let alone like it, clearly screams "I'VE NEVER BOTHERED TO EVEN USE ONE!".
This is an entirely new platform that blends ecosystems of Xbox, Windows PCs, and soon Windows 8 tablets. It's lightning fast regardless of the hardware, isn't fragmented, has great developer tools and doesn't solely depend on apps to deliver a great user experience.
I used a Samsung Focus for about 9 weeks and finally gave it up due to the limited apps. Having said that, I have certain apps that I used daily and these apps are very specific. For most people Windows 7 Phone would make a great phone.
I've used Android and Windows phones in the past and I found them slow. Since upgrading to an iPhone 4S I have not looked back. Can't stand anything else.
@nickdonley Android is far too fragmented and doesn't give the user the experience google wanted him to have. Of course there are many devices with very different performance and there is a phone that comes more or less directly from google, but when you pick up an iPhone or a WP you know exactly what kind of experience you'll get.Besides, these two OS weren't anything like another one when they were made. But then Android came along, quite blatantly cloned iOS and made a few modifications and..
'Etc, etc.' Is not a reason. That sort of gives me the feeling that you're saying it's better because you don't have a clue of what it's competition is like.
windows phone is missing a lot of stuff...mainly cuz its on a really outdated scorpion chip...seriously they need to bring it to high power hardware..the UI is undoubtly the best out there..but the price is not worth the hardware they offer..also i love games which is the best point about iOS IMO..the day WP7.5 gets decent quality games like shadowgun and mc3..i'll switch instantly..even i am bored of a 3.5 inch screen and an old UI..android is good but idk it doesnt appeal to me that much :(
I've been using WP7 as an emulator before the phones came out (NoDo) as I have been making Apps under my brand and for others, we even offer bloggers a FREE WP7 App for their sites if they follow us on Twitter (@compulsivetech or @LanceSeidman) but check my latest App, Speechy Pro as it now has OCR Translate & verbal translate.
I read the focus has problems with MicroSD cards. I bought one anyway do, we will see... NEVER EVER EVER thought I would use a windows phone, I'm an apple/android guy, but after really playing with it with an open mind, I find the windows phone 7 has a lot to offer. I really like the UI.
I got a chance to play with a windows phone, I have a GS2... I LOVE the UI of the wp7. I am just waiting for a phone that has a MicroSD, Super omoled screen, and a fantastic camera. Any word on when this will happen?
You know, I love my iPhone but I think that Windows Phone 7 is a really pretty, well-designed mobile operating system that I, now that I've seen it more often, find better than Android.
I have both Nokia Lumia 800 and iPhone 4S. With Windows you can't: AirPrint, use Kindle (if you are in certain countries), use Nokia music (unless you live in the "selected" countries by Nokia), you don't have a fully functional PDF reader (Adobe reader does not even allow you to search in document), can't search inside web page. These are important tasks for me, so I mainly still use my iPhone. I like my Nokia as well, but...well...not quite there yet with apps.
I like Windows phone but the iPhone is enough for me and I hate big screened phones. Also I've invested way too much in my iPhone apps and peripherals to make a switch so sudden. Ive just started enjoying my jailbroken iOS 5 iPhone and I'm not switching anytime soon.
You don't know nothing. Windows Phone 7 is ahead in technology, it doesn't need any fancy hardware to be fast. Trust me, my brother has the Galaxy S2 and it's very easy to get it jammed, even though it has good specs.
@th4970 if windows phone had front camera for skype video i would buy it. I use skype video allot, they made allot of windows phones they left out front camera sucks.
@samshrew12 lumia 800 is good but not worth the money..really outdated hardware and a single core for 600$ really?? 4S is an awesome phone but the only downside i feel is the small screen..compared to 800 and 4s...4s wins for me hands down...u made the right choice
The problem with WP is that there is only one windows phone for each of the major CDMA carriers (Verizon and Sprint). The reason I like Android over iOS is the choice and different options. If there is only one option for my carrier, why I would I choose it over the dozens of android devices?

For me windows phone killed it, not a fan of the panel UI, Used Windows since 2003/WM5/WM6. Moved to android 2.3 and now rocking 4.0.3 on Desire HD :)
Lets hope they decide against combining Windows 8 and its Metro UI.. or at least have an option to disable it altogether. Otherwise I'd be sticking with 7 for another while yet :)

@DavidTiger1
You just sound like a hater all around. Anyone who mentions using Windows "since 2003/WM5/WM6" as a reason not to ever own a Windows Phone, let alone like it, clearly screams "I'VE NEVER BOTHERED TO EVEN USE ONE!".
This is an entirely new platform that blends ecosystems of Xbox, Windows PCs, and soon Windows 8 tablets. It's lightning fast regardless of the hardware, isn't fragmented, has great developer tools and doesn't solely depend on apps to deliver a great user experience.

@H4Hamburger I have used WP7, all android versions and iOS. My personal fav being Android but they all have their pro's and con's to them....
Xbox and tablets I can see the ease of use coming in to play, Even with phones but for those people who do like it...
As I said I was "not a fan of the panel UI" which means *I* do not like it. Whether you or anyone else likes it.
As for it in Windows PC's I just hope it becomes optional because being forced to have it just doesn't appeal to me.

I used a Samsung Focus for about 9 weeks and finally gave it up due to the limited apps. Having said that, I have certain apps that I used daily and these apps are very specific. For most people Windows 7 Phone would make a great phone.

I've used Android and Windows phones in the past and I found them slow. Since upgrading to an iPhone 4S I have not looked back. Can't stand anything else.

nickdonley 6 days ago
@nickdonley Android is far too fragmented and doesn't give the user the experience google wanted him to have. Of course there are many devices with very different performance and there is a phone that comes more or less directly from google, but when you pick up an iPhone or a WP you know exactly what kind of experience you'll get.Besides, these two OS weren't anything like another one when they were made. But then Android came along, quite blatantly cloned iOS and made a few modifications and..

@Petrucho2011
'Etc, etc.' Is not a reason. That sort of gives me the feeling that you're saying it's better because you don't have a clue of what it's competition is like.

windows phone is missing a lot of stuff...mainly cuz its on a really outdated scorpion chip...seriously they need to bring it to high power hardware..the UI is undoubtly the best out there..but the price is not worth the hardware they offer..also i love games which is the best point about iOS IMO..the day WP7.5 gets decent quality games like shadowgun and mc3..i'll switch instantly..even i am bored of a 3.5 inch screen and an old UI..android is good but idk it doesnt appeal to me that much :(

@no1up Problem with the Focus and the SD cards is that people forget you need to put the card in BEFORE you ever start the phone the first time.

I've been using WP7 as an emulator before the phones came out (NoDo) as I have been making Apps under my brand and for others, we even offer bloggers a FREE WP7 App for their sites if they follow us on Twitter (@compulsivetech or @LanceSeidman) but check my latest App, Speechy Pro as it now has OCR Translate & verbal translate.

I read the focus has problems with MicroSD cards. I bought one anyway do, we will see... NEVER EVER EVER thought I would use a windows phone, I'm an apple/android guy, but after really playing with it with an open mind, I find the windows phone 7 has a lot to offer. I really like the UI.

danielsuploads2012 1 week ago
I have both Nokia Lumia 800 and iPhone 4S. With Windows you can't: AirPrint, use Kindle (if you are in certain countries), use Nokia music (unless you live in the "selected" countries by Nokia), you don't have a fully functional PDF reader (Adobe reader does not even allow you to search in document), can't search inside web page. These are important tasks for me, so I mainly still use my iPhone. I like my Nokia as well, but...well...not quite there yet with apps.
markos741 1 week ago
I like Windows phone but the iPhone is enough for me and I hate big screened phones. Also I've invested way too much in my iPhone apps and peripherals to make a switch so sudden. Ive just started enjoying my jailbroken iOS 5 iPhone and I'm not switching anytime soon.

You don't know nothing. Windows Phone 7 is ahead in technology, it doesn't need any fancy hardware to be fast. Trust me, my brother has the Galaxy S2 and it's very easy to get it jammed, even though it has good specs.
Also it's not the best phone, good but not best.
