Windows Phone Series 7 - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Just noticed this site came up, after waiting for info for a while.
It feels disappointing
windowsphone7series dot com

How disappointing ?
As disappointing as WM6.5 ?
As disappointing as Win7 ? Vista ? Zune ?
It can't be as disappointing as ME !
Perhaps there's a pattern emerging here, much the same as the Microsoft stock price over the last 10 years (-45%)
What's the bets Ballmer will be out of a job by 2011 ?

I personally don't like the new face that its been given...until I try it for my own though I will not judge hastily, because it looks like there could be potential.

touch pro2 cannot run the wp7 series as it is low end device and doesnot meet the requirements so all of you will not be able to try it without changing your phones

Ah, how refreshing, more Microsoft bloat without managing to move forwards or impress anyone
Here's a good example :

How do they do it ?

yet microsoft is not the only company being pointed out for bloatware as you can see.
I think simple and intuitive is much better than what winmo7 looks like, but once again I won't solidify opinion until I am testing it out on a device.

And Microsoft isn't the only one disappointing, but they still are

I never said microsoft wasn't a major contributor either, I was just stating that the information you gave was only half of it (unless they of course read the article). So yes microsoft adds bloatware, but so do many others.
*edit*
I see we are on the same page, very unique as I believe this is a first.

What about Blu-Tack ?
There's no bloat in Blu-Tack !

different fields on technology buddy

Now that WP7S is announced, I'm sure someone will make a WP7S UI for Win 6.X just like the iPhone UI back in 07. So, developers get coding.

This is what they have to say:
“We want to be more focused, so we do a lot of integration in terms of the software and maps. This kind of integration takes time, so we won’t launch a lot of models like other competitors. We want to be focused and provide the best location-based services for our customers” Fei Yen, Garmin-Asus
Damn, it's fugly ;>

No matter really for me, asus rarely makes it to the states.

Let me translate that for you: "We are going to mess with the software until WP7 will be completely unstable and lagging as hell. Furthermore we are trying to determine what the competition has been doing wrong to be sure that we are able to make the same mistakes. Then, months late, we will provide an ugly handset with outdated hardware and crappy software, just like we always did."
I don't think it looks that bad at all. Just a bad picture of it
Thanks, but that picture already got posted months ago...

c'mon guys, we're right there
I realise the whole thing is kinda pointless... but what are the bets that Android/iPhone/every-other-OS users are voting WebOS?
but yeah would be pretty funky to see WP7 crowned King. My votes been counted anyway

Pretty high, they're jelly that their run-down boring OSes with only good apps to back them up didn't get anywhere.

Many people would argue that a mobile OS is only as good as the apps available to it. Accordingly, this "OS bowl" is rediculously flawed. The only way that WP7 winning would make any sense is if the primary criteria for voting was "most untapped potential"

Haha , the votes are only from the people who bought the phones. Sad.

That would totally explain the fact that android and iphone booth with definitively higher market shares got raped. I mean it wasnt even a close game for either. It's all about OS... WP7 is in my opinion the best OS apps aside, in a business user though I could see palm being the best. Android and iphone have all the app backing in the world but this isn't a "Who has the best developer support bowl." It's an OS bowl and the top two teams are there accordingly.
Not nearly as sad as your stalking and trolling - do you even have a WP7?
I think his initial excuse was "I'm considering getting one." Followed by a 3 page list going on about the few features that have yet to been included.
It'll probably be at least 5 years til we know the top three

I'm from Cologne (Köln).
Maybe the event will be at the (2008 opnened) Microsoft building at the Rhein in Cologne.
Yes, it's a giant M(icrosoft) with its own Lufthansa Check in and Marina.
If its in a smaller location it can be at 4010 (a new Concept Stor by Deutsche Telekom).
http://4010.com/home?loc=Köln
sorry but Nokia do not show any devices to this event
http://thisismynext.com/2011/08/02/nokia-microsoft-windows-phone-gamescom/
I really hope we see some WP7 devices from Nokia, soon. I always liked their phones in the pre-Smartphone area and hope that their Windows phones will be as good as their old stuff used to be.
More to the point, Nokia need to get there devices now, certainly before the next iphone, as soon as that comes out it will be game over as far as building any momentum is concerned. If it comes out before hand and its the n9 design as leaked (great design by the way) and its pushed heavily with advertising across the board then they might stand a chance.
Its all well and good being hush hush on future devices, but on a launch like this with a new phone on a new os (for them at least), they need lots of stock, lots of advertising, and they need confirmed dates that the public can await and look forward to. So far Nokia have been far to slow yet again to react, which is the reason there in this mess to begin with.
my 2cents anyway.
Unless I am WOWed, I'll stick with old HTC...good dependable phones for the most part....
I hope the first Noika models to the US are fully maxed out with front camera and all the bells you can wish for. Not the low end, low price point models they are talking about.
Mayby they show a N-GAGE like Windows Phone 7.5 for Gamers!?
IMO a phone with Joypad-like Buttons and Xbox LIVE (more great games will come after Mango release with all the new API) would be THE phone for Gamers.
Day one for me!
I will be there with my hawkeyes. Strength of the hawk
Check out todays BING picture!
This can't be randomly...
I'm excited they've always had the best hw

What I should write more - nothing. You have to read this:
Software piracy has become an extremely controversial subject lately. We all know SOPA and PIPA. But when it comes down to the very personal scale of app development, one must question the true wrongdoing in obtaining free software. We have debated this internally at WPH, and while our major developers have voted against it, the new blood here has decided to make a modest proposal. Leave it to the hands of the users.
We've heard many arguments against obtaining cracked applications, all of which are erroneous. Some claim it hurts homebrew, and has resulted in the extreme locking down of the WP7 operating system. Others claim it robs developers who spend hours developing, and takes away from the income of not large, greedy corporations, but rather, personal developers who may have families to support, or education to fund. Others claim it is just morally wrong, and shows a degrading of character when something so cheap is still seen unworthy of personal dimes.
This application is subject to the disclaimer that you use it under your own moral obligations and local laws. Essentially, this application installs a DRM store to your phone that causes the Marketplace to unlock all trial applications, and circumvent charging users for purchases. It's easy and effective. We can't say we support it, and don't know how long it will be until Microsoft patches it, as they are historically very quick and organized in bug fix updates.

Wow, that sure is a lot of phones. 21 phones for 21 people, right? Otherwise, you're insane.
Nope, my phone is the flipped one on the right side, blue tiles.
I ment who finds me in the other pictures, the REAL me, not my phone
Yes, it was 21 phones per >21 users of course.
nice meeting
majority of omnia 7?
lol, my proud!
a question... is the 4th from right to left at the bottom line with orange tiles the new omnia m? i cannot detect it...
No Omnia M on this picture, only in the "more pics" link there is on the 6th photo being held by our WP TL . We weren't allowed to make photos

itsan n9 running ICS via nitdroid, he made a sexy device garbage.
That's insane!
Quite expected, because most Microsoft employees do receive their work phones from the company for free.
cant see any HD2's there?
also, no Mozart love!
EDIT: Interesting to see that the bright theme is rarely used.
am i the only one who thinks the way the nokias reflect the light makes their digitisers look like they are made of cheap plastic (don't know from experience, touched a wp7 nokia)
