  • what if they have windows mobile 95 XD

  • I like HTC sense on Windows Mobile 6.5 but I'll probably switch to android for my next phone since WP7 is not as configurable.

  • Wp7 da best phone ever wm6.5 the worst

  • Functional = Windows Phone 7

    Attractive = Windows Mobile

    If only they combined the two. :(

  • @anicetune yea seriously. I had a windows phone 7 and you couldn't download open software. Can't microsoft ever figure it out google did.

  • You can switch programs on Windows Phone 7 by pressing and holding the back button.......................

  • ty vole ty máš ale malou hlav ale jinak super

  • I simply can't understand why Microsoft believes this "great" Metro design such good... in windows 8, in phone... it looks like an ugly shit! o.O

  • @PhotoshopFunStudio I find that through my encounters, about 70% of people like the MetroUI and of that 70% about half of them are in love with it. From the 30% that don't like it, about half of them hate it with a passion. I find that this UI is quite polarizing. I tend to like it myself, but I am not completely engrossed by it.

  • @cKlutcHJ21 I knew it... and still I can't understand why people like an ugly, big solid color tile while me and my friends being sick from this look. In this way I can use a windows 95-like style... and that's better than Metro. The worst thing, Ms want this crap for windows 8. So I think it's helpful in a little screen mobile, worse on tablets and for laptops... it's ridiculous! Especially with this green color... Do you have any idea why it's so good?

  • @PhotoshopFunStudio I think it's more of personal preference. Like for me, when I had an Android, I hated how the icons looked because they were all shaped differently (unlike the iOS icons). I tend to like the Metro look more than iOS and Android because I like the consistency and sharp edges, not like the iOS curved edges. I also like the LiveTiles. They're like widgets that don't drain your batteries that much. It's also something new and different from the grid of icons from iOS and Android.

  • @cKlutcHJ21 And I think the tiles are everything good (irony) but surely I can't personalize them as a normal desktop. And curved edges look like better cuz the sharped edge with Metro style like paper squares and if Ms could done a normal widget, it would have been great. Then (only curiosity) why don't you like an animated eg.: calendar in android. I think it's cool.

    My opinion:

    - WP7 is a social networking thingy wich I don't care

    - W8 tablet ugly

    - Laptop still can't understand.

  • @PhotoshopFunStudio The problem I think with widgets in Android is how much they suck away battery life. I have literally packed my start screen with live tiles in WP and I still got over 1 day of use.

    I like the design of HTC widgets and a few of the Samsung widgets, but overall, I think it is over the top. WP brings elegance through simplicity and that's what's won me over from Android.

    W8 needs a lot of work before it goes live. I don't like how you go from metro to classic out of nowhere.

  • @cKlutcHJ21 My only problem with Metro is... it's not brings elegance. It would be my style if they made it a little cooler and not too simple. I made some picture with my opinion of windows 8 (I think 1,5 yeara ago) and that's look like Metro just not too simple. I think too not so bad if something isn't that complicated as Android but Metro still few for me...

    With this new youtube where the hell is the friend invitate button? I can't find it... lol

  • @PhotoshopFunStudio A lot of people think that minimalism is elegant. Reading expert reviews on Windows Phone 7, that is what many people say. The Segoe WP font is probably the best font in the mobile world and that's where it all starts.

    What Android brings is the wow factor, the style, and the coolness. What minimalism brings is elegance and class, and that is what you get with WP. It's not the OS for people that want something that looks cool, but it is for the people who wants a classy OS.

  • @cKlutcHJ21 I think it's too but not that much as in windows phone! It's on the verge of the cool and uggly. If they made some transparency, glowing around the Metro Icons and a little shiny effect in the huge tiles, I'd love it!

  • I love my Windows Mobile 6.5 phone. It's not as fast as the Windows 7 phone but I love the layout and the fact I can modify it. Your review is good but as far as I can see you really don't give one or the other a better review they both have there plus and minus. After looking into the Windows 7 phone the only thing I see is that it's really more of a social networking phone at first look other then that it's about the same just does stuff a bit better and faster. Your thoughts.

  • hahaha, "boxed in" 0:48

  • Wow, I personally dislike iOS now, Windows Phone 7<iOS<Android

    There, windows phone 7 sucks.

  • It's called Windows phone 7.5 that has over 500 new features. who cares about customizing its all about the speed

  • Win phone 7 does not sync by USB to Outlook. That is a loser for me.

    Win 6.5 is great.

  • I would like to ask something. I have a Xperia X2 with Windows 6.5 and you mentioned something about a task manager. Where do i get the tast manager?

  • windows mobile 6.5: android in the making

  • windows phone 7 is the best running system for mobile phones

  • Which device is with Windows Phone 6.5 ? Right or left ? :O

  • Winmobile gavno!

  • it would be much better if you used a htc phone instead of a LG phone..like HTC HD7..because some of the features of a HTC phone is not found on LG and vice versa..but I still love HTC HD2 with a passion :)

  • i hate wp7, like 6.5

  • his voice is just like chris pirillo

  • @JCDizon16 and looks like jon rettinger a bit.

  • WM6 is awesome!

    6:20 happens all the time.

  • I like turtles

  • que mierda es esa pantallota que tenes atras!!??

  • Well Windows Mobile is the Grandfather of the mobile OS. But I like it... Is use it every day on my HTC Raphael...

  • windows mobile 6.5 a lot better looking than windows phone 7 and more customizable. Windows phone 7 makes the phone faster and has more features, but I rather prefer the phone to be better looking.

  • @falconstrife That's 6.5 with Sense over the top though.

  • @lukadeadman99 your mother do really good blowjobs ;)

  • reminder this is not htc vs lg its winmb 6.5 vs win mob 7

  • why does wp 6.5 looks better than wp7 ? :/

  • @TheMarioItaliano bcs you suck

  • I have the HTC Tilt2 it is running Windows Mobile 6.5 and I have been hearing about upgradeable ROM's for the device. Is there a ROM upgrade you recommend genuine Microsoft or other? If so which one, and where do I get it?

  • @Kabezee

    you can try the xda forums

  • windows phone 7 mango is much better

  • 6.5 looks 1000x better looking than 7

  • why does 6.5 like a 1000x better than 7?

  • I had a modded htc diamond with 6.5 and i loved it it was a good little os while it lasted. I am on android now and couldn't be happier.

  • Fast app switching on WinMo 6.5 is a piece of cake. Just put a shortcut to Task Manager in Quick Links and you're good to go.

    Running dual boot NAND WinMo 6.5/SD Android (Desire) on my HTC HD2. I'm a happy camper.

  • @fishfry001 Windows Mobile? ILol. My boyfriend had that for a year. It was sluggish, and awful. Windows 7 is incredible and modern. It's artistic; wonderful.

    iPhone + Dreamboard OS7 = App switching/multitasking + good hardware + Windows 7 live tiles = best phone to date.

  • Fast app switching on WinMo 6.5 is a piece of cake. Just put a shortcut to Task Manager in Quick Links and you're good to go.

  • I run android on my htc hd2. Never going back.

  • As a real test.... what about sync between mobile and PC?

    what about opening emails which is better win6.5 or 7? and does there a sync option between mobile and PC for emails? does it work?

    what about security files such as .p12 ( used to secure accessing the websites/emails etc) does windows 6.5 or 7 deal with them?

    What about Skype, does they run it ( now Windows buy Skype, and could it support old windows mobile) ?

  • The IOS is old, the android stole ideas from ios and windows 6.5 phone. Windows 7 phone and different, original and simple. windows phone 7-win End of story

  • giving people options is a bad thing??? I was unaware of this.

  • Oh... so that is how you look like ! xD

  • omg you talk so much

  • LG touch sensivity sucks!!!!

    look how he have to tap many times on a icon to go!

  • I can only added to the previous remark WinPhone7 is for kids.

    I am running QuickMenu on top of the interface and it's great. quite often I turn off sense because it makes it slow. As a browser I also use the Iris Browser. It's great.

  • ANOTHER review that is longer than 10 minutes! Some people just can't get a point across succinctly. I'm hopping over to another review.

  • WM6.5 with 1GHz, that'll do it... although WM6.1 is even more tweakable and compatible with more programs than WM6.5 ...

  • his voice is annnoying

  • You have a few unread messages on gmail. :D 5:13

  • i have never seen brandons face before... weird

  • windows mobile 6.5 is a lot better ,than 7 for its interface and hacking posibilities who needs 100000 apps like iphone anyway half of them are shit like fart boxs etc

    who wants it windows mobile is for pros windows 7 is for i phone lovers that want a change

  • in my oppinion wm6.5 + htc sense + a 1ghz cpu = no comparison to anyother phone out there or os it just kills everything off ;)

  • wow the LG is soooo shit, meh Windows Phone 7 and IOS FTW.

  • yo man so loud audio update it or someone will get an heart attack..

  • HTC looks beasty

  • Great video to see side by side..but can someone comment on the WP7 email interface..on the htc touchflo for 6.5, you could have two outlook accounts with immediate access to both..(ex., corp exchange, home pop3 email..NOT Gmail, NOT Hotmail)..Does WP7 allow this in either the primary interface or in the htc hub for sense? It does not allow this on Android OS..You have to select a primary which sux!! Nobody seems to demo Outlook/Exhange and if you are only limited to 1 preferred acount vs. both.

  • @HairfullofMetal ...I know GMail is it's own App/Widget...I know Hotmail is the same...I am not talking about that type of multiple email acct setup...I am only referring to Outlook/Pop 3 accounts...Just for clarity's sake...Simply put..Can you have multiple outlook/exchange/pop3 accounts accessible from the same email app on the WP7 tile...or HTC Sense Hub? Or do you have to painfully swap your primary account to work in a specified email account...

  • This guy looks like George Bush 30 years ago

  • @Weskerphodastico um the Zune marketplace has existed for years, before WP7. The blank background and the monochrome tiles (and only a few are monochrome) are to save battery power, and yes the WP7's are way more power efficient than iOS.

  • it could have been rocked out if the WP7 didn't have the box but curved boxes. the design of winows in 7 here looks left out. like, "just put this there! and that there!" so that they can say something new.

  • If i had to choose between these id pick wm6.5 sense more costimizable and better looking. WM6.5 os actualy looks newer and the wp7 looks older (go figure?).

  • Look I have Andriod Desire 2.2 running on my HTC HD2 Leo Thanks To XDA , and I think Android running on HTC HD2 is better then both 6 N 7 Windows, and I will go as far to say will stand-up to I Phone.

  • You got mail

  • im sorry but this mobile will not have the same succes as android or iphone OS,

  • Seems like the WM 6.5 is smooth and faster than 7.. and if u notice.. he have to press harder on the LG to get it moving lol :D

  • windows phone mbile 6.5 looks better

  • thumbs up if u think wm6.5 is better than wp7 !

  • think*

  • windows mobile 6.5 is better i tkink...

  • @krzysiooniejadek Me too.

  • I JUST GOT W7 HTC 7 AND VERY DISAPOINTET BECOUSE I HAD 6.5 BEFORE AND NOW ITS THE SAME CRAP AND EVEN WORST THEN ANROID OR IPHONE. I GONA GIVI IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND WILL BY HTC HD2 SHAME FOR MICROSOFT

  • windows phone 7 looks crap.. i'll be sticking to my mobile 6.55 on my HD2 i think

  • Meeh. New doesnt always mean better...

  • @raicho20 Except that in this case, it does. Windows Phone 7 is 10x better than Windows Mobile.

  • @SlipperehPuppeh Windows, new and better are 3 words that don't fit together. Only NOW Winmo 6.5 is starting to get better. This probablly means Windows Phone 7 is as buggy as hell...

  • @SlipperehPuppeh Plus, I never said I'm not trying it. We the HD2 users now have a ROM to upgrade to WP7, but WP 7 has no rom to go to WinMo 6.5 or Android, does it?

  • MOBILE NOT MOBELE!!1

  • MOBILE NOT MOBLE!!1

  • As someone who just came off a week of WP7, who was a heavy WM6.5 guy I must say that I was very disappointed in WP7. I mean it was a great phone if you want an Iphone without having an Iphone. I was a heavy customizer of WM 6.5 and I likes being able to go to many places to get my apps. Some worked and some didn't. I know you had to soft reset a lot 'annoying', but I did with with WP& once also. I am now a new Android man just because of better hardware.

  • I used to love iOS and Android.. Now, somehow, I prefer WM 6.5 over them all.. WM 6.5 is the most mature OS.. It gives you what you need rather than useless gimics and flashy effects which just eat the battery and you feel such a shame pulling it out of your pocket! I don't know which phone i'll get, but I would be an easy pic if the Desire HD was a Windows Mobile 6.5 device and if Microsoft promised to release updates constantly!

  • windows phone 7 is better now!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 07:23 - Well nobody even uses the "Windows Mobile 6 Marketplace" Anyway, so why should we care? Why could you use the version of IE Mobile that comes with WM6.5? Even the one that came with WM6.1 was better than that, and using Opera Mobile on WM6 blows all other platforms/browsers out of the water.

    07:41 - No, its a waste of space, not a "good interface". Gosh, what a joke.

    08:41 - Wrong again. That is the downfall of WM7.

    10:00 - Thats why nobody likes the retarded WM6.5 Start menu

  • @2BunnyReturns I like and use all of the stuff that you hate haha :D

  • @koolbob23

    You use the Windows Mobile 6 Marketplace as a source for CABs? Guess you'll end up with plenty of free space and an empty wallet ☺.

  • i love the customizations of WM 6.5.5....sadly going to end.....

  • este win 7 eh podre

  • WP7 looks ugly when compared to Sense(on WM or Android). Even iOS looks more modern and I think that it just looks old, but man WP7 is too blocky...

  • @booksarefriends101 this is REAL phone reviews, not gay ones an average person would get (p.s. sorry if i'm offending you ;)

  • Your face is scary

  • a gd review. but i still find windoze phone a dumb os. just like its pc os, crashes is highly likely.

  • @indrajem7vwh not really...ive had my htc surround for a month and nothing has crashed yet

  • can you do reviews for the windows phone 7 after it hit the store so people can see the potential of this operating system

  • there are other browsers for 7 there is only one i know of currently besides internet explorer and it sucks but thats because it just came out no one has developed for it yet... the same thing happened when windows mobile came out...

  • I want XBOX live in my HD2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional. I love my HTC HD2 with HTC Sense and 6.5.

  • Comparing this new ie against old ie on wm6.5 is just stupid, pointless and retarded because like you just said no one ever used ie anyway, and windows phone 7 doesn't have anything else.

    You could just aswell compare ie5 on mac against ie9 on windows and be telling people that mac is very bad becouse of a bad browser.

    Are you trying to make stupid videos or actually comparing something?

  • @Ballero0 My thoughts exactly!! Youd think this clown would know better!!

  • win 7 mob sucks and ugly............

  • don't forget there is NO file explorer in WM7 and if you have the license for the media on your PC and you copy it over to your WM7 device, you will have to purchase another license to listen or watch!

  • Windows 7 is so constrictive! Bottom Line I didn't buy my phone so that the os looks just like everyone else. How boring, on my Touch Pro 2 I have the option of running the standard os, Android os, and any of the thousand spb mobile shells which includes a very similar Windows 7 shell. No brainer. The only thing I agree with is the lack of apps in the market place.

  • WP7 is still new.. We'll never know whether WP7 can really be customized or not.. For now it cannot..

  • for the iphone fans..

    Ios = for boys

    Windows phone = for men

  • @blekdregen iOS= for kids

    Windows phone 7= for teens

    Android= for men

  • @vaibzzz123 Windows Mobile 6.5 and Android is for men. WinPhone and iOS is for kids.

  • @Kweezy157 ok that's better :)

  • @Kweezy157 lol ironically my dad had 6.5 and has WP7 now XD proof!

  • @vaibzzz123 maybe for pedophiles who wish to attract teenage boys with their shiny phone xD

  • @koolbob23 shut up, I am a teenager

  • @blekdregen Ios=WIndows Phone

    WInMo 6.5 FOR MEN!

  • @raicho20 huh?

  • @blekdregen I meant that windows phone 7 and Ios are the same shit, but WinMo 6.5 is best!

  • @blekdregen yeah thats very man like.. Maby you should wait until your ball's drop and then come back?

  • @blekdregen Windows fail = For idiots.

  • @blekdregen FUCK YA

  • @blekdregen so phones in general = for people with penises?

  • @blekdregen But WP7 is iPhone now!!! BOX AFTER BOX AFTER BOX, Only difference is now the scroll up and down. LoL Duh! WinMo 6.5 FTW Sorry but if ya think differently, maybe it's just cause you're in denial.......That Microsoft ripped off Apple again, plain and simple!

  • I must disagree on statement that iPhone would have "A very easy way to multitask" firstly it does not multitask by default and secondly I don't share your opinnion on it being easy eighter. Look for article: "Multitasking With iOS 4 is Horrible: Apple Blew It". By far the best implementation on multitasking I have seen so far is in Maemo 5.

    Othervice a good and solid video. Thanks!

  • I appreciated your video...but I still don't know which one to choose. I fell in love with the HD2, and when trying to purchase one this past weekend at a T-Mo store, I was being pushed the HD7. Now, I'm not sure what to do. So, I'm here looking for research and will wait for Black Friday to call customer care and purchase over the phone. Can anybody help me? I think the HD2 looks so much like a android, but I like the netflix feature on the HD7. HELP!

  • @YaCantHandleTheTruth Get the HD7. Don't let the fancy homescreen of the HD2 fool you, beneath it there is a 10 yrs old operating system comparable to Windows 98.

  • Comment removed

  • Youtube fix your Fullscreen reloading problems ya fuckin pricks

  • @mozzmanau yeah that was annoying, i think youtube fixed it now, even with 720 and 1080 HD streaming

  • I get the sense that the reviewer doesn't really understand the reason for the design changes. He says "you really can't reorganize your apps" Well that's because for frequently used apps you're supposed to pin them to the start screen. It's the whole purpose behind live tiles. I've said this a million times, yes the look is primitive, but the functionality is uncompared. WP7 is customizeable because you can place the live tiles in any order you want, and with whatever apps you want.

  • htc hd2 is the best

  • The reason why I like WM 6.5 is the same reason why I like Windows on my PC. I know how to get to where I want, how to customize it to do what I need, and even though it may have faults, I'm already aware of it's faults and weaknesses. So, I'll never pick up my Omnia 2 and ask it to do something it can't. I'm afraid if I buy a WP 7 device I'm going to get a pretty device with a fancy active home screen and little other strengths.

    I'll stick with what I got for a little while longer.

  • i think WP7 is ugly. like its "uniqueless". yu cant change anything really. but im anxious to try it. i know how to use all other OS'es except for that one now.

  • @onlyoneme2007 cant chage anything....you can design and make your own home menu to just the way you want it on wp7

  • 196 New Messages in your Gmail? Dude check your messages.

  • You are balls deep in the HD2.

  • lol 8:38 wtf are you talking about, it made piracy easier

  • From the time my main WM6 apps are available on android I will switch to it. The people are sending back the WP7 phones - one big reason - NO SYNC with Windows / Outlook ..

  • 6.5 with custom rom look SOOO much better!!!

    The WM7 looks like it doesn't use the whole screen sometimes and like the screen is too small for what's on it at other times... :-o

    f.ex. why is there a black bar on the right in the "home screen" and at 4:59 wtf...

    oh it's: "music -" no wait "sic + vid" no wait there is more... it's "+videos" and last but not least the "ideos" and "eos" "tab" .

    And who want to search for apps in the Marke´... Honestly... it looks absolutely horrible.

  • Comment removed

  • As you've said, WM 6 has been around for ages, WP 7 was just released! You must really hate it, and (a few comments below mine) also says you should test them both without any add-ons, plugins, etc.

  • your video is very good i learn many things from this video. i want to ask you one thing can i upgrade windows mobile 6.5 to windows mobile 7 is there any possibilities can you tell me please my one is htc touch diamond 2

  • Should i get the hd2 or the hd7? i really would like to be able to customize my phone with a wallpaper or something but the hd7 looks so much smoother. idk wat to do! help me someone!!

  • @2chromedout Same boat here. HD2 or wait for the 7. I like the idea of being able to customize my phone how I like not how microsoft thinks I would like. Android or WM6.5?

    But also xbox games on win7.... tough choice and I bet it gets mods next year when the geeks have fettled with them over xmas. Verdict - wait a few months. It won't hurt.

  • Like WinMo 6.5 better. WinMo 7 too ugly and non - customizable ... With a goor ROM, WinMO 6.5 works like a charm. Always a winner to me between those two :)

  • wow no offence but this review is a fail. im not saying u r a fail, u r actually pretty good at reviews :). but u r not even comparing windows phone 7 to windows phone 6. u r comparing u r custom ROM htc sence to naked windows phone 7. try comparing windows mobile 6 to windows mobile 7 BOTH NAKED. no special UI. i bet windows phone 7 CAN be customized more, but requires an overlaying UI or custom ROM.

  • @jmans25 No dude...according to various reviews the only thing you can change about WP7 is the color of the tiles. WP6...you can basically have damn-near ANYTHING on your home screen.

  • @Kweezy157 lol true, but futher customizations are comming...

  • i still like wm 6.5. fully customizable

  • No you cant customize Sense :( ... calendar on home screen shows only ONE ONE ONE ONE ONE calendar entry :(

  • No system-wide file manager No Bluetooth file transfers No USB mass storage mode Limited third-party apps availability No Flash or Silverlight support in the browser Too dependent on Zune software for file management and syncing No video calls No custom ringtones Music player lacks equalizer presets No multitasking No copy/paste No DivX/XviD video support (automatic transcoding provided by Zune software) No sign of free Bing maps Navigation so far No internet tethering support some win7 limits.
  • and HTC Sense is wining :)

  • I love when you say "Hey guys this is Brandon Miniman from pockenow dot com"; it remind me when i got a Windows Phone device!
