why are all of the titles like half way off the screen?
-
this kills iPhone but what is remaining is a nice Hardware
-
@sioncoxall it dont
it doesent have the right windows 7 hardware buttons ;( -
I HATE touch hardware buttons!
-
If the touch screens were way more responsive, this might be a decent OS.
-
@sioncoxall is it gonna happen or will we have to buy the upgrade
-
reviewer sounds so gay
-
I hope this is in Canada. They screwed up by keeping the Zune HD in the US, but I managed to get one of those anyways.
Dunno if I’d be able to get a WP7 Phone if it’s only in the US…
Keeping my fingers crossed..

@pedro071992 – This is so true – the audio quality alone is much better… I live right here in Silicon Valley and there are Billboards for Apple all over the place. I’ve never seen one for Microsoft products.
-
he has a BIG NOSE. hope his boooogers wont fall on the beautiful phone
-
The OS looks edgy and new.
Don’t be fooled it is still windoze. -
I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!
-
hope the HTC HD2 gets the upgrae 2 windows 7
-
Wow look how quickly it rotates! :O and its still a prototype :O

@arthmus01 I know that its a Mobile OS thats why I think its better than making a phone. Apple made a phone because of their belief that Software and Hardware must be One. Microsoft is the most successfull in the market because they started making Software separated from hardware. It has already happened to the DOS ”Windows” and Microsoft wants to monopolize again but This time is different, They are going to fight against companies with the same or better strategy like google and symbian.

looks boring. I’m getting an Android phone.

@itsme4880plus Windows phone is a mobile OS, not a phone. In terms of mobile OS market share, Apple is in 3rd place behind RIM and Symbian, who control over 70% of the smartphone market. Apple has a single mobile device, while Microsoft has the combined sales of dozens of smartphones. It is highly likely that WP7 will increase Microsoft’s market share and they will return to 3rd place, even if no single WP7 phone outsells the iPhone.

very very very nice. The calendar app looks very nice.
too much animation though I’m hoping you could speed those up – unless that’s a background “loading” sheme
-
I was iPhone fans, but this windows 7 phone is just SICK.
Definetly gonna have one of those when it out.
Especially if the phone is made by HTC. Really really cool. -
Fuck the iphone!! I’m getting this phone cause i’m tired that the iphone makes a new phone every year and we have to buy the new one. Im going windows.
-
This is a disaster for Microsoft. The UI is terrible. Urrrgggh….
So glad I bought a HTC Desire, beats this and iPhone hands-down and its available now.
The only innovative product Microsoft has in development is the Courier…if they realsed that I’d snap it up in a second. Not a smartphone of course…
Windows Phone 7 however is a bad joke. Back to the drawing board Microsoft and quickly… -
@Tommyinoz1971 @Tommyinoz197 Ok, first of all. What part of “prototype” did you not understand? It’s clearly “in development” idiot. Think for a sec, if the phone was ready for deployment it would already be in peoples pockets. So, shut your mouth and understand that this is a project in the works. Microsoft is basically giving you a feel of the phone.

@runn1nwith5izzorz Funny how there are a lot of so called ”Iphone killers” but the Iphone is still one of the most sold phones… Want to know why? This new Windows mobile is going to compete with a Lot of companies… Apple is their focus of course but I believe that the Iphone will continue existing no matter which phone is better.
