    Default Windows Phone 7 Series

    This info is a month old but I didn't see it on here.

    This looks interesting. I'll definitely be waiting to upgrade now, at least to check it out. Interface is very similar to the Zune HD which I think is very easy and intuitive.

    Also can run games in full 3d

    So Apple is making a truck load of cash on it's Iphone and now Microsoft wants a part of the action, well there's a surprise. Well the first thing they have done right is scrapping Windows Mobile which was the biggest pile of elephant droppings you could ever wish to experience. Early impressions look promising I just hope that the execution of the final product lives up to this early promise.

    The smartest thing theyre doing is integrating various xbox features into the platform, but beyond that i dont really know what the "hook" is.

    The renders on these slides look slick as hell, but they're no match for the spec sheet, which looks even better: 1GHz QSD8250 Snapdragon processor, WVGA 4.1-inch OLED display, AT&T and T-Mobile 3G, five megapixel autofocus camera, 1GB of flash with 512MB RAM plus 8GB of storage on a MicroSD card (non-user-replaceable, we're assuming), GPS, accelerometer, compass, FM radio, and full Flash support including video playback.

    windows > apple. Windows is often very underrated in their electronics like zune, phones, etc.

    I don't like Mac's and Apple branding rubs me the wrong way but give the devil it's due as far as phones go Apple has Microsoft well beaten I mean have you ever had the misfortune of having to work with Windows Mobile? The iphone isn't perfect but - chalk and cheese.......

    For example to this day ipod doesn't have any radio features, while starting from the first zune there's been radio. People just see that apple icon and think that's the best...

    As a Zune user I am pleased how the Windows phone platform integrated the Zune service. What you see there in the pictures is the exact menu design found on the ZuneHD, the only difference being it functions as a phone and it has a browser with flash player support. The Zune menu design is certainly much easier to navigate and find what you want than the itouch/iphone design (I've owned and used both) For it's simplicity and ease of non-cluttered use I believe the Windows phone will be a success.

    Nokia Symbian which dominates the market
    Are you sure? I heard that symbian was being droped, because it is so old and can't live up to Android or apple os. Symbian is reputed really bad.

    Keep us up to date, because I'm most interested. Wonder how long it'll take before it arrives in Canada though.

    If Microsoft doesn't regain its market share they will probably pull out the market altogether and even for a company the size of MS it's going to be hard so Windows mobile 7 needs to pretty special to take on Android and more importantly Nokia Symbian which dominates the market.

    I'm talking about the consumer smart phone market which Nokia dominates.

    Frankly what's more interesting is the positions of Apple and MS over the course of two years, its practically reversed.

    I mean yeah I saw the other graph, just never heard of it. Nobody uses it in the US, I don't even know if it exists here.

    Or maybe it does but isn't considered a competitor with other smartphone operating systems.

    Has anyone seen a good write-up on the Samsung Focus when it comes to stuff like battery life and hardware?
