Look, I think WinMo 7 has a few questions to answer but this article is scraping the bottom of the barrel. It's a demo for goodness sakes!

I bet by the time the day is over we'll find out that WP7S also gives you AIDS and twitters about it.

Lets recap: No multitasking, No upgrade path for HD2, No copy/paste, and demos conducted on a rebadged phones.

Can this be any less disastrous?]]>Mar 16th 2010 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/
Don't forget no external memory support.]]>Mar 16th 2010 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/Lets just be clear here...I saw the whole 2 and half hour Keynote from Day1 and they never said anything "official" about no multitasking and I never read any post here saying it was official either.

But of corse this is Day2 and I havent seen that keynote yet...so anyone correct me if Im wrong.

Also dont be so quick to overlook all the positives.

Most of your negatives were already going around as rumors except the copy paste, and even MSFT said that is not on the current build but there are still features that are yet to be worked in..]]>Mar 16th 2010 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/
The lack of copy and paste sucks, but everyone knew WP7 wouldnt come to the HD2, the HD2 broke the guidelines WP7 set.

The HD2 is awesome and has great specs, but Microsoft will piss off a lot of companies if they allowed it to upgrade to WP7S and not the other WinMo phones that meant the requirements.]]>Mar 16th 2010 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/
Yeah, and no sideloading. Microsoft approved App Store is the only way to get apps onto the device.

You guys haven't gotten this yet? 7 is MS's answer to the iPhone. It's not replacing WinMo(Classic). MS now has TWO mobile OS's.

If you want/need all the stuff on Classic, get a classic phone.]]>Mar 16th 2010 10:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/
Nice try, but Classic has been EOL'd. It becomes legacy the day WP7S ships.]]>Mar 16th 2010 10:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/
Their positives are nice and all, but these guys need a swift kick in the ass so that when WP7 is RTM, some of this important stuff gets put back in.

#1 on the list is C&P.]]>Mar 16th 2010 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/windows-phone-7-series-device-from-samsung-is-just-a-hacked-i891/

Perhaps, but I bet the WP7 interface is more useful.
