Smoked by a Windows Phone

Funny you should say that Big Supes, but when I bought my Titan from there, the guy was so excited about it, I felt like saying, 'calm down dear it's only a phone.'

He needent have bothered preaching to the already converted though, as I was more excited than him, I couldn't get home quick enough.

Strangely enough, the other assistant was showing a Lumia 800 to someone, so it seems TCW have no problems with recommending Windows Phones, which is great, good on them.

I was brave there and just looked at the Titan price, I paid ?429 it's now ?439 woo hoo.

Normally things are half price the day after I buy them.

I hope reps start doing the same here in the States. I do my share for WP7. I've converted 2 people already and am working on a 3rd.

What'd be funny is if they set the video running and the guy says "So I hear you like posting things to facebook?"

"No, not really."

"Oh."

Regarding the last videos...

From Ben Rudolph's Twitter:

The "copycat" vids aren't official MS. But we love seeing iPhone & Android get #smokedbywindowsphone ! #flattered

Just didn't want Pronk to get upset.

Just a couple of additional 'Smoked' videos to add.

It seems a couple of Carrier stores have been visited.

Andy why not show them pesky sales people how fast WP is ?

It's already been removed!! Google probably removed them out of embarrassment.

Microsft have now made a collection of them and it's apparently going to be used in an ad campaign.

And it never will because MS is stupid. MS, like Apple, refused to play ball with Adobe (regardless of what Jobs said in public, it came down to money and controlling the development of Flash inside Apple. When Adobe said it was their way at their price only, Apple took there marbles and went home) and after a couple years of back and forth Adobe said they are no longer supporting mobile Flash development. So WP7 will only be able to see about 75% of the Internet in total and about 50% of the 17,000 most commonly visited sites.

Here are some stats: Flash use dips at top Web sites since November | Deep Tech - CNET News

If it is anything like using my iPad I will constantly have to ask my friends to look up little things for me on their phones. So far this has mostly been small, local business websites - getting store hours, seeing a menu, and other small stuff - but it is wildly annoying.

MS should have ponied up the cash and gotten a full-blown Adobe developed version of Flash for WP7 and 8. This would make WP7 (and 8) different from iOS, better than iOS, instead of a mediocre version of iOS.

Have fun with your new, no Flash ever, WP7!
