I haven't been here in a while because I was waiting for Verizon to get the Samsung Galaxy Note. Now I am waiting for the Note 2. However, because of all of my business apps I would have preferred it if MS would have offered a phone I could use because ultimately that should be a platform to which everything gets ported for me.
When I was here last, I noted I was leaving WP, not only for the quality and size of the phones but also the reckless attitude of MS towards business users. I talked about how great WM 6.0 was with MS Office programs as compared to WP 7 and tango.
This is something I wrote on a Phandroid forum:
**** My wishlist includes a phone that fits in your pocket but has sides that pull out to add a lot more width so that it becomes 9:16. That and my foldaway Bluetooth Stowaway keyboard and I have a laptop wherever I need it without adding 10 pounds and a big case to what I have to carry. I'll even be able to do tax returns on it.
This is why there jerks a Microsoft blew the potential of phones. They still have a chance but they should have been there already. If Jobs rather than Gates and Ballmer were there, imagine what Windows Phone would have been. ****
It doesn't have to have all that now but that's where it all should be going. For many business and professional users who don't want to carry around laptops or even tablets, this options gives it all to them. Windows would be fully usable on a Transformers type phone. MS should do what it can to keep the business and professional users with competent access to MS Office programs, as bad as they are, and the promise that their programs will eventually have full access from their phones.`
