Yea I want to see what else they got coming out. But I'm really excited and sold on the LG Slider. That form factor to me is amazing, and if the keyboard functions as good as it looks then I wouldn't need to see what else they have coming out.

How mad is HTC that they will have almost no ability to differentiate and that their existing hardware is being excluded from upgrades? I can see why MS is doing some of the things that they are doing, but given that HTC is really the only manufacturer that has made decent MS hardware, I really feel like they are not happy with these changes. Lawsuits aside, HTC focusing more (all of their??) effort on Android would be a dangerous situation for MS. ]]>Mar 16th 2010 2:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/When a woman walks into an electronics store, she is like a man walking into a apparel/shoe store.]]>Mar 16th 2010 4:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/Such a lame UI.]]>Mar 16th 2010 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/Mar 16th 2010 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/Mar 15th 2010 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/Even with the i in my name, I am excited for these 7 Series phones.

But I don't get the "style" argument either. The single color button backgrounds with white icons... well, I don't think it's pretty.

In the third picture, the IE icon on red text makes me think of 1998 Geocities.]]>Mar 15th 2010 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/

I don't see what's so hard to understand. The UI wraps around to form a continuous menu instead of having to drill down through menus. The edge is supposed to hint at more content to the side, but I guess some people don't get the hint.]]>Mar 15th 2010 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/

It's a very modern design focused heavily on layout, negative space and typography. However, the problem I have with it is that a) the design may be too high-brow for the average person to appreciate and b) this design style really only looks good when done by a professional designer with a good eye. I'm just afraid that when small development shops get their hands on it, they will completely rape the design style and we'll end up with fugly apps. At least with a more conventional OS with chrome, such as Android, iPhone, WebOS or Symbian, a developer can throw a bunch of controls on an app and it comes out looking halfway decent.]]>Mar 15th 2010 9:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/+1 thats humorous alright]]>Mar 15th 2010 9:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/
Personally, MS is caught between a rock (Android) and a hard place (iPhone). To me the Windows/Office synergy is just not all the relevant for smartphones. Tablets? Maybe. Given the circumstances, WPS7 appears to be everything one expects, but there is not enough of the unexpected to stand out. By the time it launches, both the iPhone and Android will have major revs. If they initiate a very aggressive update cycle, perhaps they can give RIM and Palm a beatdown.]]>Mar 15th 2010 9:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/When I look at one of those screens, I almost have the urge to, like you said, zoom out or straighten it out somehow.

The colored boxes with the tiny icon in the middle are also a really odd use of screen real estate. It doesn't look bad, just sort of....off, somehow.

Yeah, the design seems to look OK with the middle phone because it's cleaner, but looks pretty awkward with the other designs.

Not sure if this makes sense, but the UI seems to look better by itself than on a phone.]]>Mar 16th 2010 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/three-windows-phone-7-series-devices-all-in-a-row/Mar 16th 2010 8:38AM
