  • WTF is this?? The previous versions of windows mobile are way better.. this is just a fail...omg..

  • @sk8zaf you sir is a fool, wp7 is awesome better than anything out on the market. Oviously you have never used it

  • @kkqlasiq its my opinion,ok? and i didnt call u fool.

  • @sk8zaf when u make stupid opinions that makes you a fool, no apologies here. wp7 its makes Android and Iphone look like cinderellas ugly step sisters. wp7 is awesome

  • Hey, you could do all of this without even showing the phone

    you were just talking, you didn't do anything

    we were waiting for actions

    WASTE

  • "The fascinated eagerness to consume the latest (technology) of the day not only leads to indifference towards the matter transmitted by the (technology), but encourages stationary rubbish and calculated idiocy." - Theodor Adorno, Minima Moralia

  • What they don't say is that this is just a prototype,

    Windows phone 7 in a later production phone looks *much* better & smoother

    The new UI is revolutionary, it's a good change from the ever so old & boring 'icon based' UIs everybody has these days (Apple,Android,Symbian,etc....­etc...............)

  • Windows Phone sucks !!!!! Horrible system, WTF, much, much better iOS or Android

  • waste of time. He spends 4 minutes to show us nothing .................. jesus instead of talking so much use the application more so we can see something

  • My god... Even through the video I can see how slow and unresponsive it is

  • It's definately no blackberry !

  • The guy speaks like he has penis in his nose

  • sooo what can it do?

  • I like the concept of the Metro interface.

  • whats up with this homemade vid?

  • Poor UI

  • I am not really into my porn, but it looks very functional. The arrow steels too much space though. Having tried all the phones, I believe that keeping things simple is the most important and the most challenging. Well done Windows for digging out of a mobile grave!

  • very poor! blue box like porn banners on site's)

  • the galaxy s2 has a similar tile arrangement like windows phoen 7 UI but its wayyyyy better, better looking, customisable, resizable,

  • They could just change the home screen...it really looks like mmm like not really like *home* more like an app....and that black background, ah, just annoying...

  • Why the fuck is that arrow there and they're not using the whole screen? The retard that decided that shit killed the WP7...

  • @Moris88 Since the screen has such high resolution anyway, there's no pressing need for the tiles to fill it. Also, it highlights the WP7 style of left-right swiping, hinting that the complete menu is one swipe to the right. The space teases you, urging you to do a right-swipe, and it rewards you by giving you the menu. Simple Pavlovian psychology expertly realized, imho.

  • @castorfiber That's fucking retarded. So they made a phone with a big black space to the right and a small arrow on top of it, not using the complete screen (which looks ugly as fuck) so that it incourages people to swipe to another menu? I hope for the buyers that this can be disabled in the config?

    The jewish retard Steve Ballmer needs to be removed ASAP if Microsoft is to be saved...

  • @Moris88 Of course they did it that way entirely on purpose. UI design often has tons of thought behind it: One idea is that you shouldn't be stuck on the first screen forever: Hinting that there are things to do stimulates your creativity. After using the UI a while, I didn't mind the blank space at all.

    You are aware that Ballmer doesn't design their stuff, right?

    And yeah, what Microsoft needs is an antisemite with no design education. You think you've got what it takes?

  • omg the layout sucks.

  • @MrCharlietoma I think it's rather beautiful: Minimalistic, understated, consistent and most of all very fluent. I've tried it out and it does feel very intuitive. It also makes me think of Piet Mondrian, in a good sense.

  • WHAT?

  • That user interface is just awful. That alone Makes Me not want to buy that thing ever.

  • @MrGizmo757 and you probably a virgin

  • @JSernProductions ummmm? how on earth dose that even relate to this? your an idiot. oh BTW. i am not a virgin either. probably the opposite really. My wife dose girl on girl Porn. and i have been invited to participate in her films with her and her partners quite a few times. you can find these films on xtube on the featured videos page. if you like. so Tell me, how's your self confidence now? LOL!

  • @MrGizmo757 and you're gay

  • Thumbs up if you're one of the few sensible people who are not Apple fanboys/fangirls. Thumbs up also if you know Apple is a rip-off and they charge way more then their hardware is worth. (P.S., spell "Macs" backwards)

  • win 7 is more harder than win 6 (for mobile)

    thats all because the block menu

  • it has been ages a phone was a phone....

  • i dont like the response

  • so messy and boring.

  • looks like the zune HD

  • i bought this yesterday, the screen is amazingggggggg

  • one word: Android!

  • Oh shit, vista has spread to mobiles.

  • hate it when you are watchingn a preview and the person swypes over the screen without touching it :D

  • Man.. this is too blue to my eye:)..

  • @shahjinan You can change the colors, but it's a bit limiting.

  • Eww, It looks to impractical to use :\

  • My God. The GUI looks like flash add on a porn site.

  • @bashmaistora lol so true

  • @bashmaistora Studpid comment.

  • @bashmaistora whats a GUI?

  • @anonymouslytrollin plus one for the name there good sir xD

  • @bashmaistora u have watched too many.

  • blackberry torch is an ass kiker no iphone or stupid ugly windows 7 can beat the blackberry 6

    wweee owwne this world suckers

    BB

  • @alharbi591

    Thats your preference. Grow the fuck up dumbass.

  • TMNoob3 u fag go put ur w7 or iphone in ur ass stupid dumb

  • @alharbi591

    You sound about as intelligent as my asshole.

    I don't even have a w7 or iphone, fucktard.

  • @alharbi591 My Nokia N8 PWNS Your Torch.

  • @alharbi591 My 5 year old Palm TX owns your Torch.

  • I can't believe Microsoft spent over 3 years to make craps like this. It has a simple designed look but not simple enough to use. Too many clicks to do something so simple.

  • i hate that people hate things because of the brand.

  • @loverofpie32 and vice versa

  • shut up sasha, let him talk!!!!

  • windows phone 7 actually looks pretty cool. i wanted to hate it cuz its windows but i actually like how dynamic the home page thing is

  • @lorddresefer Why do you want to hate it? and why the hell do looks matter? its like pc vs mac. they are just two different manufacturers. i dont get why everyone brings up that stupid argument. I have an iphone and a pc. i love them both. its just a matter of which you prefer. i personally prefer pcs because i grew up using them. i prefer the iphone because of its simple home screen. Its all preference. the apple vs windows thing is really stupid people!

  • i saw one in the market. used it, its ok but i wana stick to my iphone 4 waitingggggggggggggggggggggggg­gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg­gg

  • @High2Tension go buy blackberry

  • @alharbi591 HELL NO

  • what about internet navigation??? what about other things?

  • i have windows phone 7 on my iphone

  • -___- this video is so old

  • sorry windows 7, the phone looks like it sucks, ill be going to verizon for the iphone 4

  • @xriderx11 OK enjoy your low quality music and your shitty UI, while paying 1200 bucks for a phone which has almost useless apps, and shitty calling and ill enjoy my surround sound music and pay 700 bucks for it.

    BTW apple is a genius, hate to admit it but yes. There are freaking 50 ads of it per show. people buy it cause of the ads. if htc was advertised that much, it would probably have 200% boosted sales

  • @MrBigcheese1702 i got it and my video is 720p :) it is high quality and i got alot of usefull apps :D like Call of duty zombies and Dead space on my phone :D which isnt on that or android :D glad i went for my phone and besides it was 200$ coz i got the 2 year contract... sooooo happy i went for the iphone 4 instead

  • @xriderx11 hah you are sooooo ignorant! windows phone 7 is a completely different os. Android is better though. talk to me when you can use your phone as a gameboy, or snes or as a portable hot spot.

    how can you see on that tiny screen of an iphone?

  • @MrBigcheese1702 Get a Job.

  • @4Xiox20 I'm sorry I offended you, freaky emo goth wierdo

  • @MrBigcheese1702 The iphone 4 screen isnt tiny at all? How am i ignorant? Im perfectly happy with my phone. And my iphone does have person hotspot??? What are you talking about?

  • @xriderx11 as in connecting to the internet ANYWHERE without 3g. it's like a portable router and modem.

    Also, the HTC evo has a bigger screen by almost a whole inch. THAT'S WHY!

  • @MrBigcheese1702 Mine does that too? ANd who needs a phone that is thick as a brick and is heavy as one and barely fits in their pocket? THe iphone has 10X more apps and doesnt get virus's and is very cool and bright and is user friendly and is easy to use.

  • @xriderx11 OK you tell me my brother has an iphone and give me instructions on how to do that.

    again YOU ARE SO IGNORANT! 10x as many apps means it has 2 million apps. it has barely 300 000 apps. iphone does get viruses too, EVERYTHING DOES! user interface is easy? easy isn't necessarily better. if a devices start up has a big music button, that's easy, but doesn't give you much options. have you even used an android? you'll love it as soon as you start using it.

  • @MrBigcheese1702 If the iphone gets viruses then why doesnt anyone ever gotten one? Exactly..... plus the itunes appstore has over 350,000 apps.... anddd we have all the official games such as nazi zombies and CODD and dead space.... We also have cut the rope and plants vs zombies (huge Pc game) and zynge poker... We also had angry birds 2 months b4 it came out for android and still some phones still dont even support it. plus we have farmville and much more apps

  • @xriderx11 people have gotten viruses from iphones, just google it. anyways stop being a hater. if you hate androids so much, why are you on youtube? youtube is owned by google. stop using google. stop using bing(microsoft) don't use google chrome or firefox or internet explorer. OH BTW android has "official" apps too. what's google maps and translate? whats firefox android? so now if you hate google, stop using their products and stop visiting their websites.

  • @xriderx11 oh and btw you still haven't given me instructions on using the hotspot. PLZ give me the instructions, otherwise you're pretty much lying. WITHOUT jailbreaking.

  • @MrBigcheese1702 settings>general>hotspot then flick it to on then set up a password if u like so other devices can connect

  • @xriderx11 sorry $1700

  • @xriderx11 there are better phones for windows phone 7 like the htc7 or htc surround

  • @LG141602 i got the iphone 4 instead :D and im glad i did :D

  • no company will ever beat apple in anything.. for one simple reason everyone copies off apple and linux..PERIOD..

  • IPhone owns! At&t doesn't....

  • @slashracer111 At&t does cause you can surf the web while talking with someone unlike verizons iphone 4 :P

  • @missingtaco15 lol. I'm deffinatly worried about that! :D

  • Tragedy....

  • dose it run with android

  • i have a droidx but i was amazed by the windows 7 phone. But in all the reviews no one is telling us what we want to hear. Such as; Mpxls, screen resolution, app features and what the market app store has to offer, about x-box live, how the set is is?. Forget Facebook. Thanx

  • guys buy this phone!!! I have earned over 300 achievement points on it.

  • @HandyFridge

    I'd buy it's but it's kind of expensive :/

  • @HandyFridge does that get you a discount on an upgrade to your next windows 7 phone

  • NOKIA :D

  • That is one ugly interface. What a retarded OS.

  • Android rocks and wm 6.5 is a lot better than wm7

  • I'm watching this with my freedom modded XDA rom HTC, take that Iphones! ;)

  • Thanks for the revieuw guys, but WM7 sucks.

    1. Its Slow

    2. Big ass icons (reminds me of the land telephones for old people who cant see that good with those big dailing buttons)

    3.Did i mention it sucks

    sticking with my iphone 4g :P (my first apple product, and I dont think I will swith in the future)

  • Ugliest interface in the world... O_O

  • @iTrame

    it's certainly different

    Look at the iPhone, the UI is the exact same as the ipod touch.

  • boring presentation

  • still doesn't beat android.

  • wow something about it beats the htc home i dont know what it is

  • guys,it's a good phone...But cant match Iphone,iphone is much better,if u had one you'd know 

  • no native msn app is fail, even winmo 6.5 had that

  • i love the WP7 OS and the device look like in the video (It like zune hd). I do not like HTC, Samsung, LG...)

    I want MS produce hardware and OS like Zune HD...

  • umm... i HATE the theme/look of the tabs... TOO simple, but in a way REALLY fukin complicated. Prefer HTC <3

  • I have no idea if I should get the Samsung Captivate or the Samsung Focus??

  • nomnom country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the only thing I don't like about what I see right now is that the animations move really slowly, but this looks pretty promising. One bajillion times better than the former "windows mobile" system

  • people i need help how do you get custom ringtones for this phone

  • Im going to wait for the HTC 7 Pro with WP7 to come to the NL and get it!

  • hi,its the coolest wp7 phone..in design terms...anyone know waht phone taht is???

  • does anyone know waht phone taht is?

  • I'm going to get this cool windows mobile 7 OS in a LG Quantum mobile phone beacuse it has querty-keyboard. iPhone doesn't have any querty-keyboard =>

  • so we can pin ppl ? god ... that sounds so sadistic ...

  • UI makes iphone os look like dinasour .

  • I'm watching this video on my iPhone 4 xD

  • Comment removed

  • @Jesse1Gtr window shopping?

  • iPhone 4 FTW!!!

  • Dette er en skunke telefon. Og for det andet ligner den en pølle i forhold til iphone..

  • I dont like it, Android 4 the win

  • Android > iPhone. Amsterdam > North Korea. Same thing, really.

  • i love how half the people are like wow apple google already beat them. and the other half are like yeah wm7 raped the iphone yehh!!!!!!

  • how do you have a windows phone and the iphone lol. give one to verizon lol (then again im pretty sure the iphone is coming to verizon)

  • so lächerlich

  • APPLE FOREVAAA!!!!!

  • @Jaroldv127 your a fucking naab go fuck steve jobs

  • @Jaroldv127 Go eat a peach ya dumb prick and pay double the price for it

  • Theres an XBOX LIVE in it!!!!! Now its easy!

  • DOA

  • am i the one, who thinks, that wm7 gonna own iphone in its ass???

  • @crasavec95 i have an android phone htc desire z

    i hate the iphone (i really really HATE the iphone)

    yet i still think that this os is crap!

    not doe to its lack of grid view that we're all used to and love

    or the lack of background

    simply do to uglyness of its overall looks

    android kickass!!!

  • @crasavec95 i love microsoft!

  • @crasavec95 yup, wm7 gonna own iphone but android gonna kill'em all

  • @crasavec95 i just got onw and well it does!!!!!

  • @crasavec95 no, i am with you there.

  • Oh..... today i feel like buying something EXPEEENSIVE....but beautiful and functional that will satisfy my gadget thirst for a while.... so i go get a mac gadget.

    When i wake up feeling like buying a really usefull gadget that does the same but much less expensive, i will go buy a windows based thingie.

    Besides.... the Windows based thing doesnt necesarily turn me into a religious fanatic like the other.

  • Im not a mac fan,I can really say.. this one is awful, and clumsy and complicated :P is not gonna last...

  • looks awful 

  • ´What kind of phone in the series are you guys holding there? Sony ericsson? htc? lg? samsung? etc etc.. Theres several designs on this windows 7 phone, and i'd like this one. :)

  • @Najzmannen It's an LG Optimus 7.

  • the way this guy moves his hands is annoying

  • all the apple whore-shippers on here are champs. Honestly guys go pray to steve jobs and stop commenting on "ohhh windows sucks" pretty sure its the most widly used software on the planet. And micrsoft has been kicking kicking apples ass sense the start of this software race back in the late 90s. PEACE

  • The tile animations are really distracting. things popping up and down all over the place. I've got a headache already

  • what a piece of junk! hahaha I thought it would challenge iPhone since it came after but I guess iPhone still is the best phone ever!

  • these ads before vid really shit me!

  • Comment removed

  • The animated tiles remind me of Clippy from Office 97. Every tile is trying to get your attention like a pack of Jack Russel Terriers. I don't see much to like about this interface.

  • Dell are shit and so is Microsoft. I will stick with Apple for now thanks.

  • The interface is UGLY!!! Give me Android or iOS but not this crap!!

  • to: microsoft

    1. slow slow slow, start from scratch, start with 200x100 display, and black and white ... make it fastest on the planet.

    2. bad layout bad layout bad layout, make it so easy , that old people can use it...not freaking minimalistic likeyou do ,and nobody knows what gestureto use ...

    3. bad colours bad colours bad colours. make it the way, that you dont have to use colors..

    4. why animations???? are we in kindergarden ??? ... i know why .. you are masking slowliness ....

  • What a bad product...i hope everyone sticks to iphone/android and leaves windows mobile in the gutter :) Microsoft is like 2 years behind android and iphone :)

  • @siretrasher1 Yeah Microshit don't deserve customers - look at how shit Xbox and vista were.

  • @Paulwander neither do apple you stupid fanboy..other than the ipod everything else they have produced is bloated and expensive

  • @siretrasher1 95% of the whole planet runs off of microsoft products.....

  • Very simple and scaled down GUI. I really like it. Its a step forward when it comes to designing for smartphones. iOS is horribly static in its app-centristic setup. Android is a bit better. This seems like much better. Very intuitive and versatile! I am a bit surprised and impressed! (Android-user)

  • It's very active.. *phone shuts off* lol

  • i don't know why are all of you apple boys hate any other phones even if they r better than the iphone I'm an iphone owner and i like it, although there is many phones out there are better than the iphone......!! try to calm down alittel it's only a device!!!!

  • revolutionary - the icons move - ooooh i am in awe

  • ummm yea anything from Microsoft sucks ass, stupid Windows Phone 7 wait even the name its a rip off of "APPLE IPHONE 4" nice one Bill Gates.

  • @ZACHAREYisBRILLIANT Lmao, if you aren't joking...

  • @mur4dhd yes, not impressed!

  • really nice ... wm7 will be my next phone os ... i own a bb and an iphone ... iphone just sucks ... can't w8 to get an intelligent phone ...

  • This looks okay, but HOW CAN MICROSOFT EVEN SERIOUSLY BELIEVE THIS WILL BE AN iPHONE KILLER? The OS looks chunky and awkward, and isn't responsive enough. He touts the customizability as if it's some type of revolutionary idea - once again - something Apple introduced, and Microsoft tries to take credit for.

    By the way, IT'S VERY POOR DESIGN KARMA FOR WORDS TO BE SPLIT ACROSS MULTIPLE SCREENS.

    Looks okay, but not an iPhone killer by any stretch.

  • @jake4e9er

    Er no. This looks incredibly task and data oriented. My next phone for sure.
