  • Had a Android phone before I got robbed... Anyhow, I thought it was too slow and annoying for my taste. So I was thinking getting a W7 phone, the HTC Radar. Question is, is it worth it?

  • guys, got a question 4 ya'll, how are the apps here?? i mean games for example does windows 7 have shadowgun or something?

  • 3:28

    she clicks on Twitter to only show posts from there, and it says Betsy Wilder, facebook 2 hours ago.

  • @marcolopeslez well guess what Lopez! Android is almost a clone of iOS. An ugly clone by the way. iOS is the mother of all modern phone OS's.

  • Too much social networking integration

  • @pennjersey83 that is only if u want

  • @zenithnow Then don't get it. Not everyone feels the same way as you. Get whichever suits your needs best.

  • I'm switching from my iphone 3gs to a nokia 800 right now. Apple wanted 300 dollar for repairing my phone and I think this OS looks awesome. I got tired of iOs and wanted something new. This is perfect. Nokia and microsoft made a great deal. I think more and more people will buy these phones because they're new and people will grow tired of android, iphone and blackberry.

  • As an Apple "fanboy" with Apple everything, let me tell ya... At my wife's request, I reluctantly picked up one of these to check it out. I am now leaving Verizon to get the Nokia 900 with this on it. It was like the iPhone is a Volvo and this is a Ferrari. OMG...

  • @cool555breeze

    are you fucking kidding me?

  • @cool555breeze lmao i agree

  • I will be getting a Focus S next month. :D

  • Very nice os.

  • awsome! :) waiting my Nokia Lumia 800.... ;)

  • I don't like the overlapping text

  • Windows phone mango looks good and responsive, and the lumia 900 looks promising, but some things look overthought and complecated.

  • *waits for Nokia Lumia 900 and HTC Titan 2* I tried out some Android phones today and it just didn't feel right. The Windows Phone 7 devices felt more responsive overall. Hopefully the new phones announced at CES will be finally released sometime soon

  • Betsy's phone # @2:08 goes to a Google Voice account.

  • I lost myself in the menus :( ,to many text, dont like the interface.

  • why are all the tiles the same color? boring

  • everything is not really front and center, you have to scroll down to view your apps.

  • @packersrogers Uh, no... You can place your apps anywhere you want them... And you can also open up an app-list.

  • I like windows phone 7, bought Samsung Omnia 7 recently.

  • just got a samsung galaxy s2 :(((( i think this is better. .

  • OMG ANNIE!!!!!!!!!! <3 

  • even though i'm knee deep in fruit...

  • it's beth from total drama island

  • Getting this, this Christmas!

  • GOZA!!! heuheuehuhuaheheuheuhe Que belo sobrenome!!! Tambem gozei!!!

  • i have a jailbroken, tweaked, iphone 4 and i will never give it up..due to the fact that it works with my apple tv and it has so many more apps to resource... but my windows phone is so much cooler... so much cooler interface and the zune player is so much cooler than the boring ipod...

  • ok can I get this phone for a test 1 month to see if I like it?

  • hotmail? LOL!

  • Okay, this looks really good no lie

  • I'm sorry, how is that multitasking when Fruit ninja had to load up again?

  • @Kabakachaka5 yeah but it resumed her game where it left off, so it does count as multitasking. it saves battery

  • Nobody I know uses Windows Messenger. Why not include other instant messengers...

  • @RaggaDnB I have used blackberry, iPhone and Android. Now I'm on WP7.5 and haven't looked back to any of the platforms, I love it just like many new WP7 users do. However if I had to go back I would go with ios. Android is no good.

  • @pdjhh once you start using it, you'll love it

  • its much more original than android, android copied iOS

  • LOL!! notification bar at ios 5, IOS copy android

    android dont need to copy ios because IOS its all shit

  • Errr, sorry, I just don't like it!

  • Look how the ME tile's picture is so different from how Beth looks in real life. Shows how deceiving pictures are on social networks. Lol!

    

  • @mordmartin the real life beth looks better than on the phone..

  • WP7.5 IS AMAZING.

  • too much stuff - sorry will stay with iOS!

  • @zenfullgrooves too much stuff? lol, you iOS goons are really quite mentally limited.

  • is this a new windows phone ?

  • @kayNhearts no just a new software update most older windows 7 phones will be able to download this update for free

  • Fuck all of Apple fan in the planet.

  • @staffersteward NOO I MENT TO THUMBS UP LOL

  • I'm not a fan boy with apple or Windows, i've also used Andriod I have to say my windows phone and this new update windows have got a top phone on the market. I can't wait to get the next generation already.

  • looks very simple, one of the very reasons I've always been an iPhone user is because of it's simplicity, I might give this a shot. I'm a playstation user, Xbox live app thing better get the fuck off lol

  • Wait.. WHAT !?!? This blew me away. I've decided to get the new Lumia 800 and wanted an in-depth look at the OS. This is amazing. Does anyone know how the localization is? I live in Norway, and i can imagine that many of the features won't work as well as demonstrated here. Anyone else from obscure places with the time to share their experiences with WP 7.5?

  • The ME notifications, I cannot live without it now.

  • battery lasts 5 minutes!

  • I highly doubt that those 'geo-features' will work outside of U.S. Just like Siri, only gives direction in U.S.

    WP7 is still not that impressive to people outside of U.S. Android and iOS gives the same functionality but with more eye-candy. Except for those geo-stuff. It's impressive, but probably limited.

  • Sync Outlook via Skydrive? Why? I don't want to put my PRIVATE data on your Skydrive! Is there an app to avoid that and sync direct with MY PC? Or is Windows starting to look like iOS? Do it their way....

    No thanks.

  • @zenithnow You can disable the Outlook tile, and just use the Email tile. It works perfect, and you don't need to use Skydrive

  • @velthon You miss the point. You pay your $'s and then you have to disable an integral component? I consider myself to be bordering upon a 'power Outlook user'. Both for work and home. I want Outlook to sync with my mobile devices via USB. End story. I paid, I'm entitled. MS are moving the goal posts and I NEVER agreed to that when I PAID

  • Comment removed

  • @ 10:30 ifans call that SIRI..

  • @jaykayvenom iFans or iShit?

  • does she really play board games on a friday night?

  • her fruit killing skills are remarkable. :\

  • not gonna lie this is so boring.

  • @chltmdwp

    its 15/16 minutes what do you expect? back flips, explosions and jackie chan?

  • @halo3boy1 no just a boy who plays halo for 3 minutes when he was 1 years old.

  • Betsy is Sexy

  • No Bluetooth file transfers ? is this true?

  • Ok, you get your facebook and windows live chat in threads view. But what if my friends are using skype and gtalk? So threaded view just forces people to use facebook chat (i don't know any people using windows live chat)?

  • @BomberLT You are just being prejudiced. Of course it could have ability to add other chats too. WP Mango looks good and has more things to explore in it than say ios or android.

  • Very nice, very nice indeed. Once my upgrade is available I will be switching from my iPhone 4 to an HTC Titan and WP7.

  • 8:56 That's not "right back", but close enough

  • how do i get the feature at 10:22 to work?

  • @iMightyMinh Settings/speech/ then at the bottom, where it says Read aloud incoming text messages. Very nice feature!

  • not half as smooth as meego

  • @shikori7 actually, it is smoother than Meego. The transitions makes it look like that. A bit half-assed in the video, but mine is perfect.

  • Comment removed

  • @srykhanna se murio xd

  • @srykhanna it would be better if u deleted ur comment. seriously

  • xbox 360 new? lol

  • nice video Beth and great features. I just hope WP will get more love from developers, that's what's making my HD7 sit unused right now :(

  • notice the heart in the battery bar. is that a new feature too?LOL, will it ever support adobe flash for the web browser ? or just html 5?

  • @peace00021 Heart on the battery... tells you that your phone is in the battery save mode, radios go into a standby mode, the phone does not do as freq of update checks. You set that in the settings. If you know that your going to be away from a charger for an extended time. You also have the opinion for the phone to go into this mode automatically when battery is below 20%.

    Flash-- probably not, Adobe just proposed a HTML5 replacement for Flash.

  • Is there no Wallpaper background screen for W7?

  • Nokia+W7 bring it on! :D

  • Windows phone is for people who still use hotmail, iphones are for people who buy tech for the looks, and android is just ftw so hard

  • @DOMIDOOM You didn't watch the vdo properly. She mentions gmail couple of times while talking about combining 2 mail accounts. While sending messages too one of the option showed Google mail. So, I don't think it is all about hotmail.

  • @necropiet because they don't let us use our personal phones when we give demos. It was fun to pretend that was my "me" tile!

  • Why does she have a picture of some pretty girl on her me-tab?

  • I love my windows phone, I just hope the developers will make some sick sports apps for the new mango update.

  • Mango is available now!

    Nope!

    It's Chuck Testa

  • Why don't let us choose whether you want a wallpaper on the home screen? I believe wallpaper will make the home screen better. Just imagine iOS without wallpaper. Hope people like my comment and let Microsoft knows it. I love Windows phone just like you all.

  • @chunghanliew that will most likely come. with better hardware the features will come eventually. I think they are just experimenting right now. The wp7 is still very fresh and people come with opinions all the time and as you can see they have change things based on opinions butthey can't do every thing once. Time will tell and wp7 is here to stay for sure.

  • I'm so glad that they removed the transparency effect that happens when you pan left and right on the native apps. I'm also happy that I can finally group my family, friends, and employers away from my massive contact list of acquaintances from facebook. It's also nice to see the XBL app running in 60fps with the avatar loaded.. unless it's just the processor of the phone that runs it better than my Samsung Focus. Bravo, Microsoft! Can't wait for the update..

  • I don't think this video is described effectively. This isn't released on just a NEW phone, it comes on existing phones.

  • Windows Phone 7 may not be as fast with loading things as android or iOS but everything seems to be linked to everything else. I love how from a person contact, i can view their photos from different websites, post on their facebook wall, see what they've been up to along with all the normal stuff. Everyone told me i would hate going from android to WP7, but its quite the opposite. I can deal with an extra second or 2 to load something because everything else makes up for that.

  • When does MANGO come out on handsets in AMERICA!!!???!!!!

  • sounds great

  • It's amazing how fresh and clean WP7 looks comparing it to other mobile OS's that tend to look very, let's just say childish. This looks really professional, but it's still not boring or dull. Can't wait to upgrade my phone!

  • is there a messenger that goes cross platform to BBs except kik.......

  • At the end of the video... My opinion... is *thumbs up to the WP7.5!!!*

  • Bull shit nothing important is ther if I get a text where is the data on the home screen? its not. On my Evo I get updates from twitter, Facebook, email etc. Like the actuall data not just a picture. Sure the graphical tiles are nice but where is the data? Like the calender has data why not say a missed call? show at least the subject of the email. This is no different then IOS having apps on the front screen.

  • @algierssolja Yes it is. The text icon shows how many texts you missed, and when you receive one it pops up on top with a name and who said it. The calendar isn't where you'd see "missed call"; that's in the phone icon. The subject of the e-mail is and was there--but for some reason all of her e-mails had dashes before them. Everything you want is there lol. It just wasn't shown in this video. Go try a WP7 out.

  • I am not going to wait for an iPhone, i am getting the HTC Titan after seeing this. Also Android needs to die.

  • has anyone noticed the picture of a love heart on top of the battery status

  • @jamal2fulify That means she has the battery saver mode on.

  • F..k blackberry! I going with this!!!!

  • Nokia

  • one thing i noticed here is that the fourth row of live tiles in the homescreen is now shown fully without scrolling. great!

  • but will it blend?

  • Bye bye iOS :D

  • @Abrahandsome3200 Lol, what silly thing to say.

  • I'm just wondering how many of the Local Scout features will work outside the U.S...

  • You call yourself a gamer, but only have 20 Gamerscore? D:

  • @Inv4d3rG1R Unfortunately for public demos we can't use our personal phones/phone info, my actual Xbox gamerscore is over 10K  =) Gamertag is Kealiha

  • @bethgoza Woah, it IS you! Awesome! :3 Thanks for answering!

  • @Inv4d3rG1R NP - gamers gotta represent! definitely don't want people thinking my GS is only 20 ;)

  • Meego is better

  • can you please do a video to show us how to use Zune with WP7? I have no idea how to sync. PLEASE!!!!

  • @kyoshokev : you ave to install zune software on your PC ,get your device connected and the zune software will automatically detect your device and you can sync then

  • "My favorite new game" where you've achieved a top score of 5. Right.

  • Why is the "me tile" a picture of a hot woman.....that ain't you

  • If only they got half the bing stuff working for the uk and not just the US i would be very very happy.

  • Fantastic! It's amazing how many new features are included with Mango. Some of my favorites didn't even make this video!

  • Hello Betsy :)

  • release it already! this is definitely one mango that looks very juicy

  • I like that text messaging is consolidated, but also with option to filter the medium from which we reply.

  • This is not a good promotional video, why does she say that she represents Microsofts marketing team? Then everyone who doesnt know what Windows Phone is will get that its her job to do it. Atleast dont tell! Come on Microsoft you can do better marketing!

  • Simply great.

  • Group and threads are so cool!, no requirement to download msn messenger or anything!! all in one place, current apps for msn on Windows Phone are TERRIBLE however

  • Very well done.. I can't wait for Nokia to come out with the phones!

  • Release it already!!!!!!!!!!!!! So much tease!

  • now just an excellent nokia phone for this excellent mobile system and we're home. can't wait for it really, you could speed them guys up a bit!

  • Over 15 minutes long and it barely scrapes the surface of all the new features. Can't wait for the taste of Mango.

  • @mrcraggle aint webos dead

  • windows is a phone for people who have no lives and i dont mean this to sound mean but dam

  • @DewayneRulz errr what do you mean by that? She talked about boarding passes and shopping and such, thats a life. Isn't android where people spend all day installing new roms and hacking their phones? Not trying to belittle android, but i don't see what you mean.

  • This is great! Shows the phone like a real person uses it, in real time too! Can't wait for Mango to come out!

  • I can't believe statistics now, they say Samsung's shit Bada OS sold more units than WP!!!

  • Such an amazing OS! I wonder why no carriers are promoting these phones in the UK over the competitors! Microsoft should advertise this in a simple manner so that average joe can understand what's WP is all about!

  • whats up with the heart on the battery icon at the top?

  • @shiznak55

    Battery Saver option. It turns on when the battery is low to conserve battery life.

  • @shiznak55 It's a small plug icon that shows the phone is plugged in and charging

  • @jamlavaw no its not...its a heart. if u look at the comment above urs, he says its a battery saver option.

  • Just AWESOME! Best mobile OS so far!

  • Microsoft! You have an amazing product why do you kill it with such boring videos. Please step your game up.

  • @sdanishahmed1 But this shows it in real time, as a regular user would use it. She sometimes mis-types or mis-taps. It's completely unedited so it shows you exactly what you get and the speed it is. I'd rather have this (the truth) than Apple, Blackberry & Google's promos/launch/feature videos that are sped up and edited. If this was an advert, ok, maybe I'd have it a bit more exciting

  • Yeah but the marketplace is still shit isn't it?

  • @WebCamCartmell over 30,000 apps, so no.

  • @SporadicMuffin No it really is! 29,999 of the apps are real estate apps for places in America, and 1 app is the Youtube app. Android Marketplace is so much better, selling my HD7 soon to buy a Samsung on Android.

  • @WebCamCartmell lmao android is a bag of wank

  • @mkr10001 Haha, I've used Windows Phone for a good seven months. I dislike it. Time to move to a better OS in my opinion. It took WP7 a long time to get Multi-tasking, what are Microsoft playing at?

  • @mkr10001 Furthermore, care to justify your opinion?

  • @WebCamCartmell it's just ugly. And don't bring the it took them a long time to get multi tasking. How long did it take apple to put multi tasking on their phones and they do ok. I don't actually have a WP7 but from what I've seen it's a lot more together than android. all i read about android is how it's crap and that people need to hack and root and mod it and whatever.

  • @mkr10001 Well you're reading from the wrong places! I've read some great reviews about both Android WP7! Well what I can say to you now is that, if you've never owned a WP7 device, how can you have a very solid opinion? Like I said earlier, I've used it for about six or seven months now and, although the OS is the smoothest and most streamlined I've seen, it severely lacks in the app department. WP7. There are very little apps for musicians, which I would like to see! IMO, app creativity is low

  • @WebCamCartmell People obviously seem to like android there's no disputing that but this is very slick. Definitely looks slicker and smoother than android. I can have a solid opinion from watching these videos. (Opinions are personal after all) If all people want a phone for is apps then get an iPhone or android but for me I want a phone that has excellent features that I don't need to download an app for

  • @mkr10001 Interesting point! I'm quite biased when it comes to smartphone OS, because I hate Apple. I think they're a bunch of money grabbing minge bags! WP7 is definitely sleek, the sleekest OS I've seen to date. Very rarely comes a time where the OS seems sluggish, even slightly, but it's almost never. I'm tempted to keep my phone until Mango is released, just so I can see what the new features are like to use first hand, but at the same time I want more interesting applications.

  • @WebCamCartmell Yep I hate apple too. Only apple thing i own is my 80gb ipod video (don't even get me started on ipod touches). I'm gonna wait and see what the nokia wp7 phones are like before i get one though, no point diving in right now

  • @mkr10001 Haha, I made that mistake! Dived in head first when I saw the HTC HD7, and now I dislike the handset. You could say you want to wait for newer handsets to be released, but you could say that forever. I'll try and settle down with one thing eventually, I've spend over £700 on smartphones in the last year, how I afforded that I do not know! Thanks for the interesting conversation! Good to hear other's opinions from time to time without starting a flame war!

  • @WebCamCartmell lol no problem ;)

  • Someone please tell me when is "this fall"? I am super excited about this update but I can't remain like this while they keep sayin "this fall".
