From what I have heard, it is pretty good. Have not tried it yet. I just hope they can make it strong enough to be a viable option for people. I like choices. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of The Voice Of Objective Truth Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2011 8:37 PM To: DADL (off topic) Subject: Re: [DADL-OT] Still no update | Windows Phone Secrets On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 3:19 PM, Karl Swenson <[email protected]> wrote: > Yea, but I expect that WP 7 is a bit stronger.

I'm sure WP 7 has more support from Microsoft than Kin -- that disaster stands alone -- but is the OS strong enough and can Microsoft handle it's competition? We'll have to wait to see how the Nokia deal pans out, but ignoring that things don't look good for WP 7. Microsoft has never really been a big player in mobile OS and all the manufacturers who make or used to make Windows phones (HTC, Samsung, LG, HP, Motorola) are now making Android phones and doing great (except for HP of course, they've taken Palm and webOS). They're making WP 7 phones too, but there are no sales reports, which strongly hints that sales haven't been strong. WP 7 has actually had some pretty good reviews -- I haven't tried one out yet, so I can't comment on how a good system it is -- but Microsoft needs to pull off a miracle to turn the market in their favor. Can Nokia and XBox Live integration provide that miracle, or will WP 7 be a curse for Nokia? Whatever happens, I think the picture will get clearer over the next year.
