Hello, all,
Let me start off by saying I was a complete idiot as a disclaimer, and I'll tell you why. I went to my neighbourhood AT&T store (despite me being a long time Verizon customer) to see the Focus S, and the Titan. Both VERY nice devices (as well, might I add, was the Focus Flash) although I would probably give the edge to the Titan. I do not have a WP7 device as I'm waiting for Verizon to see the light through the Windows (sorry?I just had to), but I am a BIG fan of the OS. I opened the Office app, and saw the SKYDRIVE selection. I wanted to see how this would integrate as I DO use Skydrive. Well, it asked me for my username and password. I gave them. Are you all cringing? Yeah, well, it did a restart, and whala! There was my Skydrive info for all the store to see. Now I'm not usually this stupid (well, perhaps I am), but I figured I could play with it for a while, and then just SIGN OFF of the Skydrive app. Only I couldn't. I didn't know how. So I called a rep over to give me a hand, and of course she doesn't know how to do it. We played with it for a good while, and still there I was! So she decided to consult the store expert. Nada. She then goes as far as to say, "That's why I don't recommend these phones. You may be happier with an iPhone, or the many Android phones we have". This gave me pause.
Really? Amazing! Well, I couldn?t just let that go. I asked her why, and her response was that the OS sucked. This was an AT&T sales person supposedly representing ALL AT&T phones. I had to press. Through further questioning, I exposed her lack of tech knowledge, much to her surprise. She insisted the OS sucked regardless of her arguments being unsubstantiated, and offered that Android?s frequent lock-ups were what people who get Android phones know and expect. Oye vey! Well, I had to leave. My point behind the story is, I have always gone to see the new WP7 phones regardless of carrier, but this was the first actual experience I had where the rep said the OS sucked. I was very nearly furious. If this is what Microsoft is up against, how on Earth are they ever to gain ground! The ignoramus removed the phone from the display as to protect my security, and promptly went home and changed my Skydrive password. That should do it, shouldn?t it?
P.S. What exactly IS the procedure for signing out of Skydrive from a WP device?
