  • I knew nothing about WP7

    Now I know a lot more

    Thx!

  • Damn vietnamese always doing shit

  • I like it. Smooth as hell! Far better than torch and that bold 9900, maybe it can take head on with android device.. Umm did I hear iphone? Its a joke

  • He couldn't find the keypad at the first place, or that was part of the demo? o.O

  • Looking forward to when the software becomes available in Swedish :)

  • Strange to see an os that is so focused on text and its font. And why are all the icons only made with two colors?

  • this was underwhelming

  • Feel like having a give away @SlashGear :P.

  • any one knows about how long can use it without charging?

  • Thanks!

  • I like this video BECAUSE it has no sound. All I want it too see the damn phone, not hear some idiot blab for 20 minutes.

  • @Aenovae You do realize you can do that with ANY video right? I don't understand how that can be an issue.

  • U could've added some chilling music to background :P

  • this is so fucking boring. i cant believe i watched this for 11 minutes straight before deciding to cut it off

  • ....where is the sound? it cuts out after the first few seconds for me..

  • wow. you talk a-lot.

  • Can you please, please do a review like this on the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, im already going to subscribe to you anyway. Thank You in advance.

  • why dont vietnamese guys cut their godamn fingernails???

  • screen rotation sucks

  • iPhone 4 is way better

  • You would think before making a video, reveling you nails that you would cut them!

  • okay so this guy makes a video were he only speaks a 20 words on a 20 min video and gets 134,216 views!

  • uhhh.. yea im going back to the phonedog review!

  • Probably the video were recorded in vacuum or in out of space.

  • Microsoft has bricked 10% of updated phones.. and of course its mostly the users fault who had bad internet connection or low disk space.. maybe next time put this microsoft:

    if (disk_space > X and md5sum($update) == $correct_hash)

    then apply_update();

  • THE SILENCE WAS KILLING ME. -.-

  • @ingatumomma97

    FUDDDDDDGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEE­EE speak!

  • OMG TALK, SON TALK!

  • is this samsung i8910HD?

  • What's the point to have 25% of screen only for title??? 

  • no sound?

  • я заснул от этого унылого говна.

  • Where is windows explorer>?!?!?!?!?

  • @andrewb90atmedotcom You don't have a file system so you cannot "explore" the memory of your phone like with Android devices, also you don't have an SD memory so there's less chance you'll ever want to watch inside your wp7 phone.. Microsoft devised this on purpose fearing for modifications of the phone..

  • looks like newspaper everywhere.

  • CUT YOUR DAMN NAILS!!!!!!

  • @777blueblood FUCK YOU TROLLZOR!!!!

  • Zune, you would use zune to download music your music should transfer

  • Question iv always used apple suck as my last phone, the iPhone, I just ordered the samsung focus windows phone what do I use instead of iTunes to to get songs, and will songs downloaded on limewire transfer to the windows phone, please help me out here

  • @WhyTheHellNot420 all you have to do is download the zune software and install it on your computer. Take the music files/ folder that you have synced to iTunes and sync them to the Zune software and all of your music will be on standby to sync to your windows phone/zune. you can do this by going into the settings menu under the Zune software and going under Collections. I actually find the software extremely easy to use, you just have to familiarize yourself with it. It shouldnt be too hard. :)

  • @mcgiggity69 Then if you go to a computer without Zune installed or with Linux or MacOS you're screwed.. just then you realise you'd really like a phone with a standard microusb which is seen as a mass memory when you plug it wherever you feel like plugging.. :)

  • ARE WINDOWS 7 PHONES READY TO BE UPGRADED JUST LIKE ANDROID PHONES? I MEAN WHEN THERE WAS FROYO 2.2 READY MY ANDROID 2.1 PHONE WAS UPGRADED EASILY WHAT ABOUT 7 PHONES? WILL THEY KEEP THEY OS VERSION FOR EVER OR CAN IT BE UPGRADED?

  • @BGFGR Windows phone 7's upgrades are similar to the iphone's .. so the answer is basically "Yes"

  • @q8sauod thank you for your help

  • @BGFGR well they did it for the zunes, the zune 30gb got the same upgrades as the 120gb, i have to admit that windows considers legacy software and hardware a lot

  • @BGFGR If they don't brick your phone like recent updates (which they say "only" affected 10% of wp7 users and of those half had bad internet connection or low disk space) you can hope they give you updates, however I suspect they will only give a few updates and then hope you switch to a newer phone.

    With Android that doesn't happen because you can always flash the latest Cyanogen Mod and have a newer phone.

  • This may be weird, but I hate how they don't capitalize letters on this thing. Anybody else share the same problem?

  • what happened to the sound?

  • More in-depth than any review.....except for the audio

    

  • Why note tell that Windows Phone 7 does not support connecting to Wi-Fi access points which are hidden, have a static IP address, tethering to a computer, videocalling, VoIP calling, USB mass-storage, universal email inbox, universal search, turn-by-turn navigation, a system-wide file manager, Bluetooth file transfers, on-device encryption and only support syncing with Exchange ActiveSync over the network (no tethering).

  • @eyfhsdksd They probably wanted it out to the consumer world first, then add all the business features later...

  • dude, cut your damn fingernails. fuckin grossing me out the whole video i couldn't even finish it.

  • why does it keep saying " Can' Get This Info Righto Now. Check Back In A Little While?" when i try to get an app on the windows phone :(

  • zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­ hello? are you going to review it?

  • Comment removed

  • I need to hear info. Such as Mega Pics, screen res/, app features, to the point . What can it do. Thnx

  • @pauli3100 "Mega Pics" Fail lmao

  • I actually appreciate the silence. I don't talk to myself when trying out a new product, i just push buttons, hehe.

  • @dpb119 lol, me too! but... if you are making a video review... well...

    btw thnx for the video man!!!

    8D

  • pretty cool phone and good vid just wish you talked

  • My windows phone is sick except I can't send my video through email or mms.

  • it would be helpful to know which phone this was, what you were reviewing, and what you think? i kinda think thats the point of a review?

  • @SneakyfaceIggy The review was about the software (Windows Phone 7), which becomes even more obvious (other than the title at the top) when one realizes that this was a pre-production Samsung device that wasn't going to be sold anyways.

  • wow you talk a lot!

  • @moshemi lol

  • Interface Newspaper? Poor...

  • which windows phone is this one cause ive seen different ones but this is the one i want

  • i thought i'd gone deaf

  • ms should of just called it the zune phone hd that's basically what it is.

  • @zurbon thank you!!

  • ....Are you mute?

  • Średni ten Winmo jakis taki ciemny;o

  • wow he barley talks all this video is doing is showing us a guy going through his phone acting like he is not recording

  • Dam my speakers are broken

  • a shame of that xbox button.

    than I will buy the playstation phone.

  • Dose The WIndows Fone HAve A PAttern Lock?

  • TOTALLY the WORST "walktrough" EVER.....

  • i would only buy dis phone for da xbox live all da rest looks dull the htc evos are wayyy better

  • What phone is this?

  • @nathantinwing000 exactly! i was thinking the same lol

  • well the description does say technical review which is what he did even if thats not what we wanted lol

  • Worst walk trough EVER

  • oh look ..seems you came to Malta lol

  • Wow I thought the movie stopped haha

  • ahh i cant take it...too much talking

  • Thumbs up if fishing for thumbs up is gay. 

  • @melinpalmer like you

  • @melinpalmer

    it is gay, and you're doing it...so thumbs down mwahahaha

  • Thumbs up if you saw the failed " zoom in " attempt at around 1:23

  • The most complicated and unorganized mobile OS ever. Only second to the older versions of Windows Mobile!

  • I thought my speakers were out. LOL 

  • @amitulhoque lmao u r right dude

  • @amitulhoque

    Yeh me too lol.

  • @amitulhoque omg SAME

  • Whats the name of the phone hes using?

  • @xdietz HTC Surround @ AT&T.

  • window's phone is a lil lazy, boring and makes people not want to spend more time on it. WHY!!!

  • You're not walking through this at all...you're just playing with it...

  • Im not a fanboy, but, BUY THE NINTENDO 3DS!!!

  • This phone looks awesome, I want it so bad.

  • @EK069 waste of MONEY!!!

  • @alwaysluna89 Why would it be a waste of money?

  • I thought my speakers broke after he said "which im gunna walk you through right now"

  • i think it has a lot of stuff more that people can remember all of them.

  • Thank you! This is what I needed to see - nothing worse than buying a phone and finding that the UI interface is just nasty to use.

    Great to be able to pop on some music and watch through common usage of the phone, rather than listening to some person constantly saying "As you can see..." and "and ummm..." - this style of usage video is great! Was a bit unorganised, but great style.

    One thing it didn't answer for me - can you reorder the tiles on the home page?

  • @movieapple you can. i watched several other windows phone 7 vids and they showed that you can move the tiles around anywhere you wanted.

  • @Bigboi709 Thanks!

  • @movieapple Yes you can

  • @movieapple yes you can.

  • it seems a little slow kinda like the orginal iphone.

    nothing really amazing about it other than microsoft made a phone.

  • i really hope they make a zune hd 2 with the windows phone 7 without the phone!!!

    it would def blow away the ipod touch 

  • talk woman!

  • This phone sucks ass lol... the colors...it's all dead.. black and white...like wtf lol. Windows stop making phones!! you suck badly at it..

  • @x3dannyboy "Windows stop making phones" the company's Microsoft!

  • @nekku19 Yeah, that lmaoo :) I knew that lol.

  • @x3dannyboy Allrighty

  • @x3dannyboy you are retarded

  • @x3dannyboy Just another dumbass right here

  • maybe if you talked more people would watch this

  • This is the stupidest review ever LOL

  • The UI is clean and functional, I'm an iPhone user (past 2 or so years) and an Apple engineer/consultant (for 20+ years), but this OS is a nice fresh way of having the info you need at your fingertips, I like the change from the old 6.5 also I am a little bored with the iOS and Android OSs, so yeah a refreshing change from the 'norm'

    One thing... The email background seem to be in white even though you have chosen the black theme, can this be changed to black also?

  • @dejunkyNL YOU HAD A BETTER REVIEW THAN THIS GUY!!!

  • dude that's awful the ui is garbage it looks like a bunch of ugly colored boxes beside each other EW, disgusting. does it come preinstalled with NORTON? LMFAO.

  • has my sound broke? lol!!

  • the worst review ever !!!! why do we spend so much time on contacts and messages and mail where are the apps?

  • can someone pm if this phone could be jailbroken to work on Verizon thx

  • How fucking boring

  • This phone is a joke.

  • i think i'm the only one who liked the ui. =x

  • @gomczx11 I think the UI is great. It may not be as pretty as iPhone or Android, but it let's you be more productive and it saves battery power.

  • @bmbell71 i dont think the iphones ui is pretty at all... its messy and cluttered

  • @bmbell71 i diss agree,this ui is beautiful and beats the other ui chiose

  • the phone is a disaster

    1.plain backgrounds

    2.They forgot speakers so they had to add a slide out speaker and make it "unique"

    3.So then they addd a slide out key board

    4. So now i cant multi task with texting and listening to music

    5. And this "quick" phone has this useless transtions wich will make it even slower!

  • @TheLewkiss

    you clearly haven't done your homework. at least research it before you bash on it. tard.

  • at least add some sound effects or something

    u made it quite boring =p

  • @timshapiro with that you are borderline crazy and fat guy coughing

  • 20 minutes of boring sh** . Go Get A life and stop showing your crusty fingers to people who actualy have lives.

  • "I'm gonna walk you through the phone that I don't know how to use, guys."

  • cant see the hardware bottons!

  • I currently own a Motorola Droid, which will be replaced VERY soon with either an iPhone 4 or a next gen stock Android phone. But this?? Are you kidding me Microsoft? I don't have to do much more than watch this video to know that I absolutely hate the UI.

    I'd take a Palm Pre over this any day of the week even.

  • @talkingtomydog agreed

  • Comment removed

  • @timshapiro good grief man, you get so offensive about that, take a joke, you boor

  • You trying to make fun of apple while your piece of shit rotates slower than my grampa's bowl movements is hillarious :d

  • I dont think windows phone 7 would survive, the markets already flooded with fantastic phones that are made by companies who've had a much better start than MS.. even though Microsoft was one of the first in the game. After their IE flop, the only thing that saved them was the fact that everyone used Windows and IE was redly available on their desktop. Its a different game this time. Microsoft has no share in the mobile market right now. I predict this OS should flop in a few years.

  • @macfahad i agree its a bold move on there part but i admire that and i admire the fact they are underdogs

  • the icons on that phone are UGLY!

  • i still think the droids and iphones win

    

  • @dakmaster9 be the droid but not the Iphone. Apple in general is nothing but a phad

  • @metalcore211 You seriously, with a straight face say this can beat the iphone?

    As the commercials say... "Really?"

  • @metalcore211 A fad goes away after a short while.... I'd say iphone4 sales speak for themselves that the fad that started over 4 years ago is a litle more than just a trend... And another thing! Leaving phones aside, lets try mp3 players. Is there anything other than an ipod that you would buy? And i dont mean just now, more like since the early 2000s.... So yeah, go buy a win7 phone and a zoon next time, so my line ups are shorter

  • @bloodfartz my wife has an iphone 4 and I use the samsung galaxy S. Both are excellent phones. They do what they are supposed to do. If the windows 7 phone is the competitor that it saids it would be, i trust them cuz of the big organization and tech that is backing them up. I used an ipod and a zune before as well. Honestly, they both work perfectly well as well. Don't let marketing dictate your thinking.

  • personally i think the andrioid is a cheap overated piece of shit, the iphone is good but too pricey(i got an ipod touch) and this OS is perfect, im paying $400 for an HTC HD7, compared to the iphone 4 which is $600

  • @360ownez What makes it cheap, what makes it overrated? The only issue for android operated phones are the phones them selves. Android as the OS is built extremely stable and has much more potential than the iPhones OS.

  • learn to use it dude

  • Is it worth getting, if not which phone should I get?

  • @1awesome15

    Get an Android phone with OS version 2.2.

  • @timshapiro oh yes, very boor, whatever boor means

  • looks really smooth

  • thanks so much for the review!

  • Htc hd 7 has hd screen. Doeas it mean that in order to watch hd movies I need to transfer hd movies? Those movie files will take large amounts of memory space.

    I could have only one ot two movies max. I don't get it. 

  • @BGFGR you can do that, or you can stream and watch HD videos on youtube or netflix

  • @nxnja thank you

  • @BGFGR It doesn't have a full HD screen, it's only WVGA which is pretty decent for a phone. So you would only have to transfer movies onto the phone in WVGA resolution, which is significantly smaller.

    Personally I wouldn't watch a movie on a phone, as it would kill the battery life, but you're free to do as you wish!

    Hope that helps.

  • @jamieross1991 thank you

  • not really a review is it

  • it'd be nice if you would add your voice

  • can the first page be customized?

    I don't want to look at an Xbox advertisement, espescially one that ugly, everytime I open my phone...

  • nice sound, rtard

  • it all comes down to preference, i suppose. just sayin. (no trolling, please!)

  • Maybe Windows should just give up and make a MS Office Ap for the droid.. Seriously, they practically started the market and could of kept it if they just made the OS finger friendly and got over their need to make it look like a windows desktop (and worked out the endless bugs). I guess they think this is a step in the right direction, but the main menu looks like it was designed by a third rate, Warhol wannabe, community college artist who hates his Dad. Don't get me wrong, i hate iPhones to

  • @scrappmutt2

    1) Windows isn't a company or entity. Microsoft is the company, Windows is the product line.

    2) Fuck Android.

    3) What mobile OS in recent history ISN'T finger friendly? Quit being a tool.

    4) The main screen looks fine. It's unique, and different. That's more than your stupid fucking Droid can say.

    5) Why the fuck should **MICROSOFT** give up anything? You do realize that the shitty ass computer you use probably runs Windows right? That's a Microsoft product, jackass.

  • @JoeyMurder 1.) Roger, my mistake

    2) I don't know, havn't tried it yet, but would love to if they had MS Outlook supported, so agreed

    3) iPhone was extremely finger friendly, so is droid. Windows Phone 6.2 and earlier needs third party software to make it friendly (see my Samsung video)

    4) matter of opinion, i think it sucks balls

  • @JoeyMurder

    5) I am a MCSE, dumbass, I know what OS my system is running off of, hell I know it inside out. I have no stock in MS so really I don't give a fuck what they do as a company. But I did see them miss the boat and now they are trying to play catch up JUST like they did with internet browsers and 90% of everything else they do. It's very had to be an appologist for MS when confronted by Mac fans about their short comings.

    When it comes to bad MS decisions - KIN. Need I say more?

  • @scrappmutt2 You're right about missing the boat! I remember having the old HTC phone running windows mobile 5. I loved the phone for the geeky factor, but dham was it a basic windows OS on a smart phone. Microsoft did (as usual) realize late on the importance of mobile devices. I remember they had absolutely no support for their old mobile OS.

  • @scrappmutt2 To think about it, they've dropped the ball on a lot of things, including their windows OS. After 7 came out, thats was the last straw for me, I switched over to a Mac and I'm never fucken going back to windows. And I'm a windows application developer LOL So I still gotta use it for development, but nothing outside that.

  • @macfahad Can't say i blame you. I build all the Windows images for work (sysprepping, etc). Took a look at Win 7 and really don't like the layout. No classic menus (w/o 3rd party), just customizing the logon screen background is a difficult process, and they still don't support multiple desktops like a fedora box does. I could really careless about the snap to screen features. I need to upgrade one day I suppose, but for now i'm sticking with Win XP
