[citation][nom]Ragnar-Kon[/nom]Completely agree. First ad is horrible and to be honest I wouldn't know what was going on if I hadn't read the text in this article before I pressed play. Second ad is MUCH better.Do they make me want to buy a Windows 7 Phone? Umm... No. And I'll tell you why:The ONLY WP7 phone I've seen so far is the Samsung Focus. And it just so happens to have a shiny AT&T logo next to it. In fact, 3 out of 4 WP7 phones announced so far are exclusive to AT&T (4th being T-mobile). Why all of these phone manufacturing companies are falling into the AT&T trap, especially after hearing all of the carrier problems with the iPhone, is beyond me. Must be lots of money involved.Should be interesting to see how the phones do compared to the iPhone and the Android phones though.[/citation]
Well I gotta agree with you aswell!
Situation im in though (not in US) I need a phone only, simlock free out of the factory (I hop around a lot of different countries). Needless to say, if you want a smartphone, with WP7 this might be hard to pull off, not to mention in my home country most of the WP7 services (XBOX live etc) will be taking a much longer time until they are out.
I kind of get the feeling this is just another iPhone, with no open-source, carrier bound, .... to me it just looks like an iPhone but from M$.
I also hate it when a beautiful designed phone's looks are spoiled by a carrier logo... uhg
I don't mean to be bashing the phone, I quite like it actually, its just that I can't see this being practical for many people.
Perhaps if M$ doesn't start being **ores like apple by screwing you over if you "Jailbreak" it, I might consider looking further into it.
