If Your Not A Fan Of The Phone Then Dont Watch The Video Mango The Fruit That Killed APPLE

[Jackyhkable]

I think right now people are still very unfamiliar with WP7 OS because we are so adapted to iOS layout (again Android is like iOS with a twist). So, it's no surprise that people still think "oh god, so ugly, I hate the tiles". Everytime I see WP7, I see new innovations and new ways to use a smartphone. You probably won't get what you like about iOS in WP7, but similarly, I doubt iOS can mimic what WP7 is either. Android... is a geek OS, that's my take on it. I love android too, but.. yeah.

@ezio2altair fortunately its very easy to pin google to you start screen. That is what I did and the blue tile withe the g on it looks sexy. Works perfectly as well.

@ezio2altair I'm new to smarptones... Are you saying microsoft is forcing "Bing" over "google" when opening the browser??!

Secondly I'm with Sprint on a Family Plan... Do you think sprint will have a phone good enough for windows 7.5?

keep in mind I have limited experience with these newer phones, so as long as it runs the way it should I would be happy! I only ask because many people have commented on hardware concerns...

This is just awesome! Some folks are complaining about the looks, but as a Zune user I tell you, the navigation on this layout is super simple. I'm waiting for a phone powerful enough to take full advantage of Mango's features. Nokia Lumia 900 is a nice start, but it still has a few things that could be better. Prolly will switch from iOS to WP once I see the right phone.

Honestly I have had a few Androids and 1 iPhone. My Titan is so much better, but honestly the search results in Bing are just crap. The image search and maps are good, but other than that I just want Google as my default provider.

[ezio2altair]

I have an HTC Titan. Absolutely love the phone. The only gripes that I have about the Windows Phone is the lack of quality Google apps, which isn't Microsoft's fault it is Google. The Bing is beautifully integrated with the phone, in many areas it is great. However, I am annoyed that when I hit the search button it brings up Bing. I honestly have tried to like Bing, and in some areas it is really good, but I find myself going into browser to get to Google.

@motionnyan Not quite, but thanks for trying. Widgets have been around since before Android.

@gangstakilla224 Some games, yes. Not as huge as iOS or Android, but it is increasing.
