Windows Phone 7 Series...Phones

[The Protagonist]

Ok so already a dumb name, but what do you think of Winmo 7, a challenge to Google and Apple, or is the damage already done?

Damage done and a year too late. A zune phone is not impressive. I mean that's basically what it is. Look at all of the screen space wasted with such large text! I could go on forever but I'll stop. I know it's early but major fail. IMHO.

I agree completely with the ridiculously huge text and icons. It's a waste of delicate screen space, especially with the emphasis these days with tons of multitasking and a lot going on at one time on a Smartphone. As much as I WANT to like a Zune styled interface for a phone, I just can't.

All the wasted blank space looks terrible.. enough said.

I thought it ran absolutely horrible. My Hero is way more responsive than that thing. I don't even know why HTC would tweet about it, its an embarrassment. Not impressed. Its even less intuitive than Android.

All the BB users of the world, now have something to cling onto. I personally didn't like, even if I said my Droid would kill me..that this is crazy.....yeah...However I think more business oriented people will be all about it. I do however like their Min bar idea for developing a phone, and thing google could adopt the same.

See I think most business users will be turned off by this new WM. Nothing like WM 6.5 at all. They've completely abandoned the hard core WM users.

There are still hardcore WM left? lol

I'm finding the UI to be different in a good way. Its not the sleekest but at this point they need something memorable to set them out from the crowd. I do think its a bit of a shock for older windows mobile users because its nothing like computer and may jump ship.

I'm so glad to see them take advantage of their vast xbox live members and incorporate into phone.

I think that it looks very cool, actually. I was surprised at the non-enterprise look of it. However, they lost me forever; I'm not going back.
