Windows Phone Series 7

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 !

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.

10 Oct 2010 - Windows Phone 7

Sorry about the title, typed in the wrong date.
It's confirmed. Windows Phone 7 will launch on the 11th of October in New York. T-Mobile is one of the launch carriers. AT&T is confirmed to be the second.

This seems more like speculation with a bit of truth. Don't really care though I'm on Tmobile, because I know it will come soon.
I plan on upgrading , but I won't do it until I see a device with a 32GB option. If not then I'll just get the Zune HD2 64GB (If it is real) with a Android Device.

T-Mobile is definitely not the only carrier for WP7.

It very well may be that AT&T will be exclusive for a bit with T-Mo getting devices later. Maybe AT&T is getting them the same date as Europe (October 21st) and T-Mo is launching November 8th?

I don't believe its a lunch. Its just a press meeting for people to see what the finished devices are like.

Depends on your definition of "launch". In this case, they're showing off the devices and announcing retail availability, etc. Everything about the v1 release should be fully open... no more of this "we can't tell you that" (except in regards to future updates).

yes! its about time cant wait to upgrade my htc hd2

Right. But it won't be available to consumers right on that day will it? That's what I meant. I associate "launch" to "consumer-availability"

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 ;>

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...

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

Nice, intentional.

I asked @joebelfiore about the video out feature on wp7

In MIX10 we all noticed that Joe Belfiore can directly output the display of his Samsung WP7 Developer prototype phone onto the big screen.
You may search for the video demo "Joe Belfiore Demos Windows Phone 7" in Google.
I searched on internet and received not many info on this. So I directly asked him on twitter @joebelfiore and he replied me in message.

This img is from my thread I posted just now on Chinese forum...I am a Chinese...
If anyone like me want to give presentations just as Joe did with his WP7 phone, I think the hope is not shinny~May rather buy a Nokia N8 or even Nokia 5800.
Some android devices like HTC Incredible and Samsung Galaxy S support tv out,too.
Just a bit disappointed~I used to hope to introduce WP7 devices to the company I serve as work phones. But it doesn't support VPN, and has no tv out, not to mention the NFC. You can't even copy the office file directly to your Phone without unlocking it. Maybe to choose android the other day, although it's Siemens here...
P.S If this post is supposed to cause any trouble because I mentioned the direct message from Mr. Joe Belfiore or the name of Siemens, just let me know and I will delete this right away. No means to make trouble.
----Edit----
Just like PG2G said on the 4th floor, firstly I am happy to see Joe answered my question directly without hiding something because people in his position usually don't do that. I am still a fan of Windows Phone 7 cuz I really don't want to show a game machine desktop (android and iOS) on the projector of a serious meeting room.

EDIT: nevermind

Lol... I'm sure another social network will make the cut, though.

While you didn't get the answer you'd ask for, it is pretty cool that someone in his position is actually listening to and answering people's questions.

Yeah, that's also what I think. People in his position hardly give feedback to normal people like you and me. So it's really nice of him to do so.
And that's why I still haven't give up the WP7 system, since I think letting all people in the meeting room to see my android desktop which looks like a game machine is not really a cool stuff~~~
