I've been following Windows Phone 7 since it's inception and now hoping to try it out. I understand that all Mango phones are coming in Fall/Winter so I thought I try it out now and sell my iPhone 4 before the reboot. I'm just looking to buy Samsung Focus to hold me over to see what happens with iPhone 5 and new WP7 devices.
So I'm hoping to get some information how to make the transition as smoothly as possible. Here are my list of questions from order of importance:
-How would I go about buying the device? I understand there several different versions? Should I stick to ebay for security or craiglist is just reliable?
-How would I go about transferring my contacts, sms(is this possible)?
-How would I go about transferring my iTunes playlist(is this possible)?
-How would I go about buying a 32 SD card that is 100 percent reliable(I know there has been several threads)?
-How would I go about having the latest Mango beta(are certain hardware versions not compatible)?
That's pretty much my main concern. I tend to use this phone to hold me over to see what happens in the Fall/Winter. I use my phone primarily to check emails, listen to music(while at the gym - I spend an average 15 hours a week), and take pictures. Those are probably the most important.
I really need to have the extra space for my music and podcast. So having at least 32 GB or more is crucial. For me this is an upgrade since I loved my Zune.
Also not sure what the dip in quality is in terms of camera, but I can live with this. My iPhone 4 pretty much replaced my point and shoot camera. Also love the fact it takes pictures fast. Again, really hoping to be impressed by the Nokia WP7, since from what I hear their cameras are high quality.
Finally are their any other things I need to know that I might need to know before purchasing, transferring my data, and finally using the Samsung Focus?
