I hate not being able to watch youtube at work! ]]>Mar 29th 2010 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/
They must really be desperate indeed, this is not even the the last incarnation of the Diamond, this is the very first version and my geez, I can't explain how much I hated that phone.
I had it for less than a week before I replaced it with the first HTC HD , with which I (like aanybody who used it even for a short time ) fell desperatedly in love.
Since last september its place has been taken by the newer HTC HD2 which in my opinion is as near to perfection as a cell phone can get.
Since for business I am forced to carry another phone I also have an HTC Hero, and I'm willing to recognize that Android is a superior OS, but as a full package (hardware + software) the HD2 is still unrivalled and way above anything I ever came across (which is something) and with its new iteration of Sense UI it seems to me that it miss W7S just as much as a worm may miss new shoes.
This week I will receive the HTC Desire that will take the place of my Hero and I really hope and look forward to being duly impressed, in fact I already have put my Hero on eBay, but for the time being I'm holding tight to my beloved HD2.
HTC has really come a long way since that little irritating Diamond 1 ; as my french mom used to say: "Chapeau !"]]>Mar 29th 2010 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/
What? You think this is cool?

Well I've got Windows 7 Ultimate running on my HTC HD2.

It's articles like this that I just don't get. Instead of showing how cool it is that someone was able to (presumably) bootstrap software that isn't even released yet onto a device never intended to host the application we get the "look how slow the OS is" post.

You can get Android to run on some REALLY old phones. It's slow too. Why not post those articles and discuss how sluggish Android is?]]>Mar 29th 2010 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/Mar 29th 2010 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/
That's my point. This article is about how slow WP7S is on this hardware. Yet, there is absolutely ZERO evidence to suggest that WP7S couldn't run on the Diamond. It's just way too early to make those assumptions.

"...that being said, we certainly wouldn't be surprised if the herky-jerky action ends up being just about accurate."

So, even though the editor knows that this isn't running a local version of even a pre-release of WP7S the assumption is that if it were real it would perform kind of like this.

If this were an isolated WinMo slam then no biggie. Unfortunately, this "assumption" is just another put down in a long line of put-downs on this site.]]>Mar 29th 2010 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/Mar 29th 2010 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/Mar 29th 2010 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-screwed-and-chopped-onto-htc-touch-diamon/
