My WP7 review

[ryude]

Excellent review, but you will find that the term "coming soon" gets tossed around quite often when the subject of wp7 is being discussed. I've had wp7 since November 2010 and very little has changed, still missing much needed apps. The bad thing about having a wp7 is that anytime you criticize it, the fanboys come out and try to make it seem like your view is wrong.

Anyway, good review and I'm glad you like it.

I just got an HTC HD7 on T-Mo. I'm coming from a Palm Pre.I don't choose a phone just because it's popular. I have this thing about giving the under-dog a chance. There are many things I like about this OS, and many things I don't. In spite of webOS being virtually unknown it has many apps that this phone lacks. Further, the audio quality that comes over while playing music is terrible. I can hear that damn GSM sound ALL THE TIME. Seriously considering switching to an Android for now. I just can't wait a year or two while developers try to see what trent WP7 is having before deciding weather to port their apps. ... and I really can't live with that GSM noise.

Welcome to the community though. Regardless of what I decide, I'll continue to root for WP7.

Perfect! Thank you! I'm also checking out Rowi too. Looks good.

Now only if the "check in" on the me tile could apply to foursquare....

I agree, wish the check-in worked with foursquare. I won't use the check-in in the Me hub because I use foursquare.

I like Rowi, but it did crash a lot. Also check out Birdsong - I prefer it now, plus it's cheaper!

One thing I don't like is the messenger service doesn't liked to be logged in at multiple locations. I am logged in on my phone but i'm also trying to log in from my desktop and it won't let me as a result of being logged in on the phone. Sometimes goes the same way with the web client.
Google talk doesn't care where i'm logged in. It's smart enough to know what computer/device i'm active on and route messages there.

Screen needs a higher resolution. I can see the pixels. However the contrast of the SAMOLED screen is just amazing. Breathtaking really.

Jesus!.

Yes, easily. Same on my 3rd gen ipod touch and my 1st gen ipad. I couldn't on my motorola atrix but it had a higher resolution. And I can't see them on an iphone 4. But I certainly can on the focus. Not a huge deal as the contrast is so damn good but a higher resolution would make it the best mobile screen in the world.

terrible sound quality? I don't have that on my arrive,check ur headphones or maybe even check ur hearing.it might also even be a hardware problem on ur device that needs to be diagnosed.

Seems like quite a fair and objective review. Welcome aboard.

@archer75: If costs would be no issue and you could pick any phone OS you want, right now, would you pick WP7 mango again? As is it right now, not how it's supposed to be in 6 month or so.

Honestly, i'd like to see what ios5 offers tomorrow and spend another couple of weeks with mango to be sure.

I prefer the more cohesive, integrated experience with wp7 and ios. Android does have more features going for it but can feel like a mess. So for me it comes down to wp7 vs ios and i'll have a better idea tomorrow.
wp7 is certainly a solid phone and experience.

 

[theman60099]

it's obvious that iOS5 has absolutely NOTHING on mango.

I have a Palm Pre, I'll ship you my Pre and 50 bucks if you want to trade. The Pre's music player is aweful. You must have access to a different app store on your pre. In the grand scheme of things, I'll have to rate iOS 1, WP7 2, Android 3, BB OS 4, and Web OS slightly above a good feature phone.

why en cojos rate iOS above wp7? it's obvious that iOS5 isn't bringing anything new to the table over wp7 mango, are u an undercover iSheep intentionally trying to find things in wp7 inferior to iOS?

 

[scottcraft]

I think that the only thing that would make iOS rank higher than WP7 are the apps. Pretty much everything I need is available on WP7 but for some it might not be. I absolutely love the speed and fluidity of my trophy and it does everything I need.

Because I think it's more complete. Don't make it better or worse. That's up to the user. WP7 size and Zune makes WP7 the better phone for me.

Like someone said, don't get mad because your MS stock isn't going up.
