i though pulling the battery, waiting for the capacitors to bleed any residual current before reinserting it was a hard reset? if not, how much harder do you have to reset it?

According to the instructions, users simply pull the battery, wait a moment before replacing the battery, and then turn the device back on. If that doesn't work, users are instructed to perform a hard reset.

Oh man, I hope by a 'small number of phones' they don't mean the same as the 'small number of xbox consoles' that they kept claiming were all that were affected.

I have an Omnia 7, which is apparently one of the affected phones so for the time being I will have to hold out until this is resolved. So far I am impressed with WP7 in general, but not impressed with M$'s lack of ability to learn from other companies' mistakes!

Come on, M$. Didn't Vista teach you not to suck?

why buy Windows phones ????

 

[mrmez]

Bad form as usual from M$.
But then again, there are quite a few W7 phones, so testing each possibility on each phone could take all year.

WP7=FAIL

Good thing I went Droid, the no copy and paste thing was my deal breaker. I mean it's been there since WM5?

Maybe I will still get one when they are on clearance for $19.00. Can anyone say KIN....

why in the heck would you want to own a windows phone...that market is long gone and dead...for Microsoft mobile that is

First WP7 bricks the mem card... now even the phone??

Buy another brand...I use to have several samsung phones & none of them lasted for much longer than the warranty did...

Hey hjkhjlkjlkj...Real bad man,real bad...You ain't got nothing close to a single bargain & you say "click on our website" & I did & you say next "will bring you different surprise" hey man,I got a surprise,a real surprise that finally "nfdhfdh2200" actually had something cheaper than your store did...

Not quite as bad as "you're holding it wrong" as this is fixable

Yes ... its a "software" fix vs a "hardware" one ... presuming the condom works for "your holding it wrong".

Is Samsug done with Microsoft yet?

I am not sure that "condom fix" is classified as "soft" fix.
