It's amazing that these single core windows phones are dominating the dualcore processor phones. It's amazing

@taniamarg86 buggy IE by your statement I can tell u have never used a windows phone. Your are comparing the IE in the desktop windows to IE on the phone both are different.

@taniamarg86 What Microsoft has done is pioneered the way of incorporating cloud networking within the smartphone environment. SkyDrive is the filesystem that allows endusers to quickly store copies of important documents from the cloud onto the smartphone. This eliminates wasting storage space. That is the great thing about WP7; it gives the phone user the ability to access and manipulate data on the fly, without worrying about space utilization.

at first the guy was like, " hehe easy money" then he was like, " God Damn it!!!"

@wehatemacs I know! Man, I have to agree! I'm in love with my Titan, and newer models are coming out so fast. Imagine how next years model will be?

@taniamarg86 since IE8, IE has been getting better. I currently use IE9(Switched from Google Chrome) and I am in love with the browser. It is quick and loads things faster than both Google Chrome and FireFox. The only browser to beat it on my computer is Opera. Also there are apps on Windows Phone that make it a USB drive. You can connect them to your PC via WiFi and pull files into this app and store them. File system is not that important to most smartphone users either.

@taniamarg86 Internet Explorer hasn't been buggy for WP7 since launch, and it hasn't been buggy for PC since IE9.

[taniamarg86]

WP7 advert is all centered on speed, no mention of lack of usb drive emulation, lack of filesystem, no serious browser other than buggy IE, no connection sharing (or maybe but with tons of limitations to make Microsoft happy).. that's the real dealbreaker! Android FTW

Windows is challenging iPhones, gooooo trolls to ur keyboards

[cmvedder2]

@REIDOPLANETA use the device, then bash on it. nice try at trolling though

[MrScarykat]

haha...the funniest part is 1:15 =D

[penguins7383]

@szecska5 oh no you didnt boi! hahaha, wp7 is the best

[Pandemonium44]

Haven't used Windows Phone so I don't wanna criticize it but I can say that the 4s can take much clearer pictures than the shown here, it looks as though they PS it and added a giant light blur in the pic. Or the guy with the 4s just had glare on his case. And iPhone was slower, but 1 second here and there, don't matter to me.

[szecska5]

@chongvang916 and Windows Phone is the father... ;)

[EWHRDIII]

Windows Phone has the fastest growing app store in the world, and the best mobile OS... in the world. The HTC Titan II has the best megapixel camera (for smartphones) in America. I personally love Windows Phone.

[chongvang916]

iPhone is the mother of all phones

[Alexpro680]

(typical stereotype sorry)

[Alexpro680]

He is declaring jihad on Ben

[Droid5767]

@danieltamurejo im also so sorry but the windows phone been better, and faster in every way ( except size of the apple app store) but that dosent mean windows phone marketplace is not big also ;-)

[cicciolinaevergine]

c'è rimasto de merda XD

[danieltamurejo]

So sorry, but nothing could be better than an Iphone...good luck!

[annaju86]

The real fact is that 1 second faster doesn't mean anything when you have to spend one day to unlock your phone and half an hour to activate a proprietary software on your wp7 phone and yell at Microsoft for wasting your time!

[dantor86]

Ah ah ah !!! il tipo c'è rimasto di caxxo!! XDXDXD

[ymcpa73]

@REIDOPLANETA That's the whole point. Smart phones are about being online and WP integrated a lot of the evertday functions use into the phone. IOS and Android rely on apps to perform these function. Therefore, WP doesn't need the higher specs to perform the everyday tasks. However, as games become better for mobile, WP will be at a disadvantage unless they up their specs soon.
