Microsoft Gives a Taste of Mango on iPhones and Androids

[tuffjuff]

[citation][nom]jowah[/nom]I haven't used one yet; I just make fun of Microsoft by default because my faith in them erodes a little more every time I interact with their products. If and when I ever use one, I will be the first to admit that I was wrong *if* it is indeed a well made product, and it doesn't add significant cost to the device, and it uses standard protocols, and it plays nice with other information systems.[/citation]


Sounds just like me about half a year before I bought an iPhone 4. Never thought I'd own an Apple product (aside from an iPod) after all those years of despising them, only to find out that I hated the lag and lack of apps on Android even more than when I was using their phones.

I had already test the WP7 a few months ago, and I went with the Iphone because there was a huge lack of applications. Hopefully this gap will be fixed within a few months/years/decades/centuries.

Wp7 has failed.
Microsoft Start sue the world......

WP7 works great, if bad sales are an indicator of poor quality then desktop Mac or Linux users should know better with their pitiful market share.

When the fanbois stop being partisan and actually use one they will see how good it is.

But can it play Crysis?

Tested it and no, I will not buy a WP7 phone. I like how i can change everything in my Android the way i want. The beauty of Android is that you can change every single aspect, to make it look beautiful or simple. WP7 look just simple and dry.

I hope they could make an app version someday

Very nifty idea! I'm going to go try it on my iPod touch.

I didn't like the phones Microsoft had before WP7, so I stayed away from them. I decided to give WP7 a try and, wow... this is what a mobile phone is *supposed* to be. Finally, MS picks an intuitive direction and drives it to the finish line. I love how Android/Apple phone users tout "app support", but 80% of the apps available are unusable, unproductive and diminish the potential of mobile integration in everyday life that Microsoft has finally uncovered. I also love how consumers claim they won't buy a WP7 because they can't "make it look beautiful". Don't let the Angry Birds, loads-of-apps, and toddlers-can-use-it hype blind you. WP7 is an extremely intuitive OS that you will love. And after you fall in love with it, you will feel embarassed that you hung onto your iPhone as long as you did (like me).
