Otherwise who would buy this over an EVO or iPhone 4?]]>May 26th 2010 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/
Plenty of people. Basically, everyone who wants a smartphone but doesn't want Android or the iPhone.

I don't get why this hardware looks so boring but yet the iPhone is a stunning piece of artistic design. The argument gets even weaker since virtually EVERYONE covers up their phone with some sort of case.

Even a phone like the HD2 looks great but it's primarily due to the screen size. The shape is pretty conventional as are button layouts etc. The fact is you can only do so much with a phone design.]]>May 26th 2010 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/May 26th 2010 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/May 26th 2010 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/May 26th 2010 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/You're kidding right?

The Milestone doesn't have a custom UI and it STILL takes forever for updates to come.

The Droid is a "with Google" phone, runs stock Android and IT doesn't update as quickly as the N1 does. Froyo has been "available" for a week now, and I've yet to see any reports of the Droid being updated.

Just because there is a minimum spec doesn't mean manufacturers can't improve upon the hardware. In which case they would still have to develop drivers, etc, etc. And updates could (would) fall behind.

Unless Microsoft also mandates a strict update schedule and basically says if you don't update by XX date, you can't license any new handsets. Even if it's paying a fine, many companies will incur a lower cost by paying the fine than they will paying people to write the updates.

Now if WP7 has a more modulistic design where parts can be updated without touching anything else, then its possible updates can be more streamlined. But I wouldn't count on it.]]>May 26th 2010 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/http://techcrunch.com/2009/05/28/the-bing-definition-microsoft-probably-doesnt-want-you-to-get-in-your-fortune-cookie/]]>May 26th 2010 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/Haha.

Yeah, an HTC device with PHYSICAL BUTTONS!

I'm really irritated by this new, "We don't need buttons for video games!" trend. No, you don't need buttons for solitaire and puzzle games and such. And I suppose you don't NEED buttons for some other games. But goddamit, buttons will always beat touchscreen controls!]]>May 26th 2010 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/Don't leave, you make this boring thread interesting.]]>May 26th 2010 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/windows-phone-7-pops-up-on-a-samsung-prototype-device/

Isn't microsft doing the updates for WP7 straight to the phone, instead of going through the cell phone makers?

W7 is still going to be fragmented. Updates go from Microsoft to Manufacturers to implement, back to Microsoft for quality testing (if not good enough, back to the manufacturer) and then finally to the carrier for network testing.

Yeah. This is all going to be synced perfectly between carriers and manufacturers. For sure...]]>May 26th 2010 2:09PM
