Specs for All of the Windows Phone 7 Devices

[frostyfireball]

[citation][nom]Zingam[/nom]I also think that another fail on Steve Balmer's part is the name: Windows Phone 7... What the hell does this device have in common with MS Windows????It's a horrible name![/citation]
They named it windows phone 7 because their last Mobile OS was windows mobile 6.

[citation][nom]WarraWarra[/nom]Amazing to see that the basic internal memory is still at 512mb and max is 8gb, come on for something newly released what gives ?
[citation]

All WP7 phones are cloud devices and have 25GB of storage (which can be epanded to exobytes at the flip of the switch if Microsoft were to get a wild hair.. )

Most of them sport the same CPU, or so it seems.

I don't want no crashing Windows on my phone.

[citation][nom]falchard[/nom]Choosing between T-Mobile and AT&T was a fail move by Microsoft. They are probably the 2 worst providers.[/citation]
Don't let the iphone users make you decide about At&t if you ever used any other smartphones on At&t you run into far fewer problems. So there is clearly something wrong with the iphone and depending where you live there is something wrong with At&t. But in general it depends where you live to how many problems you run into. If you're bay area like me Version tends to do better then At&t esp in SF. Due to heavy number of Iphone users tasking the towers in the area(everyone wants cell phone towers but no one wants them near them, esp in SF which is probably the worst place ever to use a iphone)

man the mobile market is so limited in hardware 😛 whats wrong with them... imagine all your desktops say only having diff flavors of 3ghz
I wish they would do some turbo or boost or something diff like more cache or diff options number of cores etc...

they all look the same on the inside, why even go with MS? when current phones have same specs 😵

 

[cmartin011]

I am interested! Samsung Omnia and the HD7 are my top choices. not going back to the iphone crowd this time the 3g is my last. i hope there is way to put Froyo 2.2 on these devices if microsoft wp7 operating system is not my style which the interface doesn't look that exciting. so i wonder windows still get the blue screen even on a mobile device?

Battery life drives most of the decision making. If we could only get Moore's law to apply to battery power.

Why go MS? It's not the hardware man, it's the software. Ask yourself this: Why in 2010 are we running Windows 3.1 user interfaces on a 1+ Ghz processor? Can we really say that the WP7 phone UI is just an evolutionary step? iPhone to Android, sure. iPhone/Android UI to WP7 looks more revolutionary.

none of these phones look very appealing to me.

Remember when we used to say "Who the Frack is HTC?"...

Man they make a lot of phones.

i know every well the battery issue, im saying they are not working hard enough on diff architecture for the cpu/gpu and what not... thats what im saying, I guess things will change dramatically when intel joins the ball game, wish amd would too, and what about nvidia i dont get it why we are not seeing more of there integration as far as GPU goes...

obviously they can change diff specs of the architecture to meet different needs, for a fast UI vs 3d gaming setup its a whole diff world, but they havent been designing different phones yet to target different tasks as far as hardware goes


when I was making my statement I had already the pre-qualification that all of that would have to be done under the battery/power constraints

The reason a lot of the phone specs are similar is because Microsoft put in a requirement for the minimum specifications for Windows Phones. They wanted to make sure no one makes a Windows Phone with crappy specs that could slowdowns or not function as efficiently as possible. With this baseline in place, the specs can only go higher, which is better for the consumer. Even Android 3.0 also has requirements for minimum specs.

Glad to see Regulas back on the boards, usual stuff.

Linux= win, MS=fail, APL=fail, google=maybe evil

Anyone aware of any hardening for android?

Design-wise, I really like the HTC 7 Trophy/HD7 and the Samsung Omnia. I'm not a fan of curved designs on phones and would rather prefer a square, blocky phone.

Times have changed my friend, come join the rest of us in 2010.

No secondary cameras for all models? Hmm, this means no video calls. Definitely there's more features on the second wave. I'll pass for now.

[citation][nom]soldier37[/nom]Really disappointing for AT&T. They have no phones comparable to the Evo or the Droid X with a 4.3 inch screen and it really Tees me off![/citation]

AT&T are selling the Samsung Captive for $150 (2yr contract)... its very nice with a 4" Super AMOLED screen. The ONLY problems I have with mine... the power button (functions like the iPhone) is tiny and and the GPS is crap like the rest of the SAMSUNG Galaxy line. Hopefully its a BIOS upgrade to fix.

Battery life is not as good as an iPhone 3 or 4.

all HTC phone looks similar ~

If you ask me, who cares which phone you end up with? And the LG will feel cheap, because it is cheap, and will still have a market as it will go for cheap
