How comfortable do you feel with the future of WP7?

Bluetooth button on the calling interface!!!! This is heaven for me, as I use my phone with my car's Sync system all the time. Many times I put the call in privacy mode, but quite a few times I have wanted phone calls to go from car bluetooth, to phone only, and back to the car's bluetooth (like if other people are in the car). With Android, once i put the phone into Privacy (in phone) mode, I could not push it back to the bluetooth (as far as I could tell). This phone makes it very easy.

* Typing words that aren't in the dictionary is sometimes annoying. Sometimes it will force you to auto-correct to a word you didn't want, and sometimes it's annoying to get past that. Luckily once you do, it's easy to add a word to the phone's dictionary but until you get to that point I had to type the same word in a few times. The last time I used it I was trying to enter the first name of someone who is actually in my contact list. It really needs to be adding all names from my contact list into the phone's dictionary by default.

* The web browser sucks. I'm not sure why every review I read claims it was awesome. For starters, it can't render WPCentral's gradient correctly, and the color transition is extremely broken up and staggered. It reminds me of the old VGA days. My second annoyance is that scrolling quickly produces the blue "loading" areas, so while scrolling is smooth, you still have to wait until things load. Finally, I miss Android's zoom buttons, as it seems the only way to zoom out of a spot is to pinch to zoom, and some areas (like WPCentral's top bar) you can't double tap to zoom in close enough to hit a button, so you have to pinch to zoom. I like using my phone one handed (what I do with my other hand is my own business )

1. Explain the bluetooth thing more. I have no idea what you mean?

2. How do you add words? I wish I could auto fill my damn username into the browser.

3. The browser is mostly fine, flash colors but I wish I could lock the screen rotation.

1) When on a call, if the phone is connected to a Bluetooth device, such as my car's media system, the call's audio is automatically played through the device (e.g.my car speakers). The Bluetooth button allows me to toggle between having the cll go through Bluetooth and having it come from the phone. This means I can have conversations privately on the phone, but then push the call back out to my car's audio system if I want others in the car to participate.

Previously with Android, once I moved the call to my phone for privacy, I couldn't then push it back to my car.

2) to add a word, after typing it tap the word. When it highlights, the auto correction should show a + sign next to the word. If you hit that, it all add it to the dictionary.

1. Ah, don't use bluetooth often enough to have noticed that.

2. I did that but in online forms I type half of the added word and the added word does not populate as a suggestion. Hmmmm....???
