Video Daily: The introduction of Windows Phone 7 series

Meh, why not call it a Zune Phone, since it sure as hell looks like one anyways. I see why they want integration for Microsoft products, but then again, a phone is just what it needs to be, a phone (I'll let an MP3 player and video player slide by). Too much like a low-grade PC nowadays, no?

I'm not all that impressed by what I saw in this vide. Looks old fashioned to stale to me, and add to that, no flash? This operating system is on it's last legs.

After reading about the MWC I was pretty excited about the phone. Its a good step for Microsoft and i was wondering if by holiday season if the windows 7 phones were going to be a choice for upgrade from my moto droid. After watching the film I have realized they are basically still playing catch up. They offer a much better interface, but their native applications are never going to be as good as google's. Bing search and maps will always lack behind. Hyperlinking numbers and addresses is already available on smart phones. The only innovative idea is the xbox interactivity. It will eventually be almost as good as androids flagship models but it will lack a few features and have a few inferior applications. Its a great phone though, the interface is pretty nice and flashy.

for me I am afraid how bad it would be with out 3g or any social interest at all.

other then that it seems if you did have 3g and social interest looks nice.

I don't want facebook.
I don't tweet.
I don't listen to tweets.
I don't even own a XboX360, and I probably never will unless I get one for free.

It is a phone, if I want to contact someone I can call them!

I want full web compatability. This is the one thing that Microsoft might have been able to give us, but NO! They trim mobile internet explorer to the point that android and iPhone have better internet.

alright thanx for showing the Zune Phone, now where is the windows mobile 7?

Im seriously loving this, MS just blew a fresh breath of air in the mobile space.


the iphone interface is very datted, adn constantly its just tap tap tap tap tap to get anywhere, not very nice.

as much as a love android, it still haev that linuxy feel to it, (sense, and the HTC desire/legend are insaely sexy) but its very functional.

this new direction is very unprecidented. they haev dropped any reminants fo the the old OS and are starting new, and IMO they needed to do that.

for the people that do nto like this, fair enough but then this phone isnt for you.

blackberry have now announced a webkit browser, and killerbug, opera brownser on winmo is fantastic,a nd according to the journalists that have used winpho brownser say its amazing.

loving the zune interface aswell.

and yet still i prefer webos, due to one thing, the multitasking, which is second to none (ok well nokia n900 aswell, though maemo will now go moblin lol)
