Oh okay, I thought you were referring to OS capabilities. I do agree that Windows Phone still does have a long way to go.

A friend of mine at work was telling me that she wouldnt mind trying something other than an iPhone and she only uses 3 apps (Yelp, MapQuest, and Pandora)... unfortunately Windows Phone was 1 for 3, haha.

Hopefully Windows Phone 8 will blow the doors off with hardware support. Nvidia has "confirmed" support for the Tegra line is coming, ST Ericcson has said that they will be Nokia phones in 2012. That is all promising :) Would be nice to have some of the resolution requirements lifted though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
Calm down man. My point is that a lot can happen in a year. Or not!

After using my SGS II for the last few days, I still think Mango has some very distinct advantages in usability. It's really just a matter of a few missing pieces of functionality. It will be very possible for Microsoft to make these things happen relatively quickly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
First things first. WP7 requires a cord and a computer. The competition requires neither.

MS is a few updates behind.

Current iPhone 4 users probably wont upgrade, but a **** load of other IOS users will.

Something interesting, the 3GS will sell more than every WP7 device combined.

Why? ecosystems, price and marketing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
For what, software updates?
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
Amazing, I actually think the iphone 4S looks pretty good, (not for me, screen too small and I prefer the metro UI) but the vitriol that is being spouted by some Apple fans at macrumours has to be seen to be believed!
[Windows Phone 7 General] lovenokia:
and i remember st ericson will supply nokia with dual core processors next year so next year there will be dual core nokia windows phones :) awesome
[Windows Phone 7 General] blanket:
i gave a wry smile when i saw the 4s

same case as 3g and 3gs. not even a cosmetic upgrade. hahaha

and icards???wtf?

only interesting thing is siri........and that backside illumination sensor?

sounds like something for shining at your ass

hahahha

I would never buy a phone that insists on using dial up. Watch apple chage this. I use my phone for many things on the devlopment and mod side. Its a night and day difference between a 2g 3g and 4g.

Sooo, android and iphone suck because of dual cores and other neat heardware that they have today... but nikia rocks for dual cores -someday- ?

I don't understand your dial up comment. Could you expand ?

---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 AM ----------

The upgrade to a dual core processor isn't worth an "S" in the name ? I believe the antenna was quietly improved also.

I suppose we'll have to see the technology working first hand before we can rule it out... unless there is enough sand somewhere for a collective head-bury event....
[Windows Phone 7 General] macjr82:
Funny, I started reading your post w/o reading who the poster was. I got as far as "The whole point of the first year of WP7 was for them to position themselves in a way where they didn't have to play catch up so much." and though to my self this must be N8ter. And I was right. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
I am very confused by comments about how iPhone is cometativly priced. I dunno if im just not looking in the right places but WTF. iPhones are horrendusly overpriced I dont dissagre that they are really good but dont ever think your not paying for it. I shall show you an example 3 months back I popped into a phone store where the 3g NOT 3gs but the old crap one thats slow laggy and takes ages just to get unlock was on a 2yr contract at £30 a month as there big deal yet in the same store you could get a htc mozart for £18 a monthon an 18 month contract. Its not just old wp7 stock either i preordered my htc desire back when it first came out on an 18 month £25 contract and cost me £10 to buy a week later my mum got an iPhone and the best deal she could get was 2years £35 a month and it still cost £100.

WP7 over iPhone for me even if they mached in price but they dont you can get what (depending on personal choice i guess) is a better phone for half the price i dont think it takes a genius to work this out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
As someone who's typing this on a iPhone 4 running iOS5 let's put away the comments about the screen size and typing on it. It still has the single best screen I've ever used on a mobile device. Typing is breeze and the keyboard is the best, followed by the WP7 keyboard.

History follows the path of least resistance. The was no way Apple was going to introduce any new hardware in this update. 2G, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S, then 5. This is still a very functional design, with plenty of life left, and iOS5 makes it feel very new.

That doesn't mean that I love this thing because I don't. It's so sterile I'm completely bored with it. And I really love WP7, and LOVE, the Mango update but where are the new phones? If you give props to Apple for one thing it's that the new phone will land in people's hot little hands next week. Has anyone even heard of the Focus S outside of our little group? That crap has got to stop.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Amen to that. Where the Hell are the new phones? The Titan and Radar have started to ship in the UK but I really don't care about these. Samsung might announce theirs at CTIA and Nokia at Nokia World but then they surely won't be available within a week like all the iPhones have been. Bummer really.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
It is competitively priced. Free, $99 for a phone that is pretty much on par with Wave 2 WP7 devices, and $199 for their newer model with current-gen hardware.

Things seem to be priced odd in Europe. I remember buying Digital Cameras in Europe that cost $100 more than they did in the US. Currency conversion is a *****, and a lot of times they just take the US price and slap a Euro or Pound sight in front of it ignorantly, then put them on the floor.

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

Also, Rumors are the Focus S will be out on the 11th or something... But we all know what effect an impending iPhone release has on consumers' buying habits...
[Windows Phone 7 General] mickfarr:
They where selling the iphone 4 here in ireland for free on 3 with a 24month €40 contract with unlimited data, they did the same with the Samsung Galaxy S2.

They didn't have any offer on any Windows Phones.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] QsDke:
Hello,

I've just ordered Huawei Ideos X5 (U8800). It's sim-lock free.

I would like to make a full backup of my phone, so that I can restore it completely to the state I got it. I get the impression I need to root it first, but that voids the waranty.

Can I restored to 100% factory spec, so that they cannot tell it's been rooted?

That's my basis before starting to root, messing with ROMs (if I will ever do that)

Thanks,

Tom

Ps: If anyone has a good site that explains the basics, I could use that :)
[Off-topic] wendellc:
How many people disappointed with the new iPhone? Are people actually going to buy a repackaged iPhone 4? Yes, because there are always sheep.

Apple is really great at repackaging their products, iPhone 3g > iphone 3gs.

I would stick with an iPhone 4 if.I already have it. Only thing great about this whole ordeal is that the previous versions are way cheap but a bit outdated.

Nexus Prime it is!

[Off-topic] adelmundo:
That was an Epic FAIL for apple. And when I say Epic, I mean Epic Touch already has all those features hardware wise! Nothing new frrom Apple but a repackaged iPhone 4 with the same hardware already found in other phones. In fact, they are already behind with the Nexus Prime rumored to have the new Exynos 1.5Ghz Dual Core in it, so by the time the iPhone 5 comes out, they will already be behind again.

Copying BBM, Android Notifications, Google's cloud, 1080P video recording, and hardware found in other phones already, I was totally disappointed.

Instead of being the innovators, it looks like Apple is now playing catch up.
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
I have an iPhone 4 and knew over a month ago that the new iPhone would be very much the same as the current one but with upgraded specs and internal hardware.

Nevertheless, I'm a bit glad because I won't feel compelled to exchange my iPhone 4 for the 4S. I will, however, enjoy using iOS5 on my iPhone 4 on Oct 12.

[Off-topic] r3a1ist:
This processor has been benchmarked from the Ipad and is smoked by the current Exyenos 1.2 dual core in the Epic touch. It doesn't support 4G connectivity either. It's literally just a little better as it relates to processing in relation to my OG Evo. My Evo smoked it a year ago and it's still jam packed with more features than the new version. Forget about modern android phones. Androids from over a year ago are better equipped than this thing is. Let us all pray and thank God for showing us the light and not allowing us to become stooges and zombified Apple fanboys. We are all gifted because this is just embarrassing. On to the Samsung Prime ICS release baby. Back to talking about real phone technology, what a joke.
[Off-topic] xaccers:
MS aren't doing bad, they split their stock (price halves but your number of stocks doubles etc) allowing easier trading.

Many companies do it.

So. $2 increase for MS is worth more than a $2 increase for Apple or Google. Of course a $2 drop impacts them more too.
[Off-topic] bleach168:
Massive disappointment. 14.4 hspa+ and not 21 hspa+? They didn't mention ram, so I guess it's just 512. Worst of all, still a 3.5" screen. I guess it does have 64gb of storage, but I assume that's made by Samsung.

Apple is sitting on the biggest mountain of cash ever and aren't even trying to innovate. As a consumer, that pisses me off so much.
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
Oh, i didn't know that! Thanks

Yup, i expected sooo much more. IF it had a 4" screen (or bigger), thinner design, and the rest of the rumored stuff i would buy it on the spot, but it ain't happening now! So, Galaxy Note; come to papa!

Btw, Apple never mentions RAM so we don't know if it has 512 or 1GB yet.

I think it's dubious that it'll be an iPhone 4S thing, as that's just software. You don't need a dual core or higher res camera to perform the tasks that Siri performs. Obviously, I could be wrong, but I reckon they'll p-off a LOT of iPhone 4 users if it's not available when they get the iOS 5 update "next week".

I hope it is revolutionary and blows chunks over all other voice command software out there. If it does then everyone else will have to up their game. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sick of trying to say things in a particular way just so that my phone will do what I want when I'm driving. There's only so many ways I can say "Browse porn"!

While certainly a nice phone with excellent features, it isn't larger than was expected. Though the IPS display of the iPhone 4 is the actual best display on a smartphone, it is just too small.

Since you're a noob, and I'm feeling rather good today (thank God my shiny new SGS2 isn't outdated yet, now to get past the Nexus Prime with its hide intact), I shall explain the general idea of XDA:

1. After 1.5 years, all you did was up the processor, and up the camera? We geeks are totally disappointed.

2. We hate Apple.

3. We hate Steve Jobs

4. We hate iTunes.

5. Therefore, we couldn't hate Apple more.

6. And if Apple launches an Android phone, we'll all switch to Windows Phone 7

7. #6 is how much we hate Apple.

8. The only appropriate thing to do with an Apple product is to eat it, not use it like a computer.

9. Did I mention 99% of XDA users hate Apple?

10. We hate Apple.

11. I actually ran out of points by now, really.
