Windows 7 Series Mobile - Microsoft getting it's groove back?

Wow, I'm actually excited for Microsoft's new phone!

I don't think Revscene supports Silverlight yet, but here's a link:

http://gizmodo.com/5472166/an-epic-2...indows-phone-7

This is a 22 min walkthrough of the phone. Very minimalistic and completely different from previous OS. Too bad I'm hearing it's not backwards compatible.

Much like Windows 7, it looks like they may come out and convert the unwashed masses on this one as well. After seeing that interview, I think I've found the next phone that will truly fit my needs. Have to wait and see how the rest of it works, but it looks like it will really be a great happy middle between iPhone and Blackberry.

People said "Give Windows Mobile a chance" several years ago. Yet, they still suck.

No thanks. They will never catch up to the likes of any proprietary operating system for mobile phones. Microsoft can suck it.

No way. People said this 7 years ago and its 2010 only for them to get to this stage? Microsoft needs to stop.

That's the problem though, it doesn't work. I love my bold, but it doesn't do exactly what I want it to do. Nothing out there does, and blackberry comes the closest. If they fixed the whole thing with how app memory is handled, I'd be sold. That being said, I don't want an iPhone or Android, and definitely not want Symbian. Windows 7 is that glimmer of hope that there will be a phone to match my needs.

Windows Phone 7 looks great, but for power users it will be better to stay with 6.5.2 and wait for someone to replicate 7's UI. It will be done almost immediately I'm sure. You can already install any number of UI's on 6.5 including those from Android and iPhone.

Not the actual OS, but the interface.

Watching my ram get eaten into every time I want to install a new application is what I'm doing. I really do love my bold, but having to decide what applications are necessary for me vs which one's are not is getting a bit old.

I don't want hundreds of thousands of crappy applications. I'm happy with what BB developers have put out. All I want is to be able to install all the apps that I deem necessary (viigo, poynt, google maps, msm, gmail messenger, bb app world, bolt, food network, pod trapper, unsynced) and not have to choose which one to take off the list if I see another app that I want to install.

Perhaps someone else knows the answer to this: Does android or Windows Mobile handle app memory the same way blackberry does?

For what you're doing, you need a laptop. Not a cell phone. You're demanding far too much out of a phone. Sorry.

QFT. If you're looking something small, just get a netbook, they aren't so bad if you're always on the run.

Rogers is selling a netbook with the built-in HSPA card. It's not a phone but again, you're demanding just way too much out of a phone.
