I really want to switch to WP7, but am wary because of the terrible camera's all of them supposedly have. I use my Droid X as my primary camera currently. Should I wait for WP7 to update their hardware (dual core processor and camera) or settle for one of the current offerings?
The kickstand is pretty sweet, and the phone itself is pretty awesome, but I just don't like the Windows Phone OS, it's just not practical (in my opinion.)
@cateye27 I agree. It seems as though it's too dumbed-down, and this simplicity comes at the cost of customization, and overall power-using. It's just too... simple. I don't know, it just seemed that way to me.
i love apple and ive always had an iphone but win7 looks so GOOD! im just waiting for a htc win7 hspa+ phone on tmobile and then il get rid of my iphone
if you are interested in buying a modded wii.. visit my channel to see my video about it. its recently on ebay for starting bid of 70 dollars and 1 day left!!! please visit my channel 4 vid
Very nice unboxing Jon, the phone looks promising! LOVE the kickstand, I don't know why this isn't standard across all 4"+ screen devices. OH yea, and Yayyyy for rubber bands!!
I really like Windows Phone 7. It is a great OS, and I hope to see a review on this phone soon as well as on any newer WP7 devices. Thanks for the look at the phone, I've been waiting for something like the HD7 to come on AT&T.
Haha so true! I cringe when he brings in his ugly red iPhone 4 to compare with every other Android/WP7 phone he reviews. Or how he must show his iPad 2 in comparison to various tabs. Not everyone wants to see a comparison with Apple products, but considering his obvious liking and bias for everything Apple and iOS, it's likely hard for him not to compare.
@cris178Zune I did, i just watched this video. I don't like the layout. I have a HTC myself and the windows ones look crap and messy just like their other products.
@pillgrim1993 just looking at the video dosent mean you got the full experience once you sync your email the tiles become live and in the people hub tile you see pictures of friends and family change and when you get text messages the live tile changes as well the xbox tile changes to your xbox avatar doing an animation and the zune hub changes to a picture to the last artist you listened to
@Caseyds620 can I please say it again, it's a brand new platform that was just launched in November. How many Android phones existed 5 months after release? And yeah AT&T is awful, trust me I'm on them now. However, Verizon is awesome.
I just saw you on the Early Show! You looked really professional Loved how the interviewer was saying "I want to add my expert never tried this before, and in about 30 mins he figured out how to do it!.
@Caseyds620 very few apps? Are you kidding me? It has over 18,000 and only had 2,000 at its launch in November. That's a growth of over 16,000 apps less than 6 months. What else do you want from a brand new platform? And it's WP7, it's all about Live Tiles, why would you want another launcher? And poor third-party support? I'm guessing you're talking about multitasking...haven't you heard of Mango?
