[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Lol. No. Allready wasted half a contract term on this. Not going to upgrade to another WP7 device just cause I need some patience.

Not when other platforms are so much better at delivering what their users want and giving developers options to deliver superior end-products.

You're free to be a sheep. I'm not going to do that...

P.S. Go use iMessage on multiple iOS devices. It works flawlessly, supports Picture and Video transfer out of the gate. iCloud Syncs literally everything. Tasks, Notes, Contacts, Calendar, Mail... It syncs documents, reminders, photos, apps, music, etc. across multiple devices. It has 3D toast Notifications and a Notification Bar with Widgets in it. Sorry, this was released just a couple weeks after Mango went out to Consumers. Yes, we know Microsoft had to pay catch up. You do realize WP7.0 had well over a year in development in it, and no they didn't start from scratch with it. It's still a mobile OS on top of Windows CE, just like Windows Mobile was. Same things can be said for Android. The IM issue is a shocker to me because it completely ruins my experience using the phone. I'm using SMS with people who are available on WLM because the chances of my IM connections getting miffed are too high. It's trivial for me to reproduce the problem. That's how obvious the problem actually is. I've already posted two separate videos of it.

There's a big difference between "having patience" and "being retarded."

Waiting for WP7 Mango to see if it brought the platform up to parity with Andorid iOS = Patience. Sitting around waiting another year to see if Apollo will suit your needs while you use something that's obviously inadequate for your requirements = stupidity. I say that because only a stupid person would use an inferior product just because they feel they need to be more patient. I rather be patient using something else and keeping up with the news than gimping along with this having to work around all the issues.

The fact that you're willing to do that does not mean anyone else should. You don't speak for everyone, and neither do I. The fact that we have issues with where the platform is going (too much focus on useless social features instead of getting the basics right - like consistent push/tile notifications that are fast, and a decent notification system), does not mean you have to agree with us. So, you can stop telling us what we should have, what we should do, and certainly where we should post (not you, the others). All WP7 users are privy to posting in this forum, whether they like it or blatantly hate it. It's their poragative. NOT reading it is yours, if you don't like it.

Not to mention Windows Live has the worse Contact system I've ever encountered. Just spend about 4 hours going through everything getting rid of Duplicate Contacts that their Contact Clean-Up refuses to detect. Aparently, adding contacts form Messenger creates a separate contact from adding them on the Website (where most of my contacts were made, a lon time ago - it's an almost 8 year old account), so I ended up with about 70 duplicate contacts and I had to go through each one twice to make sure the one I was deleting wasn't the one with all the real information in it.

P.P.S. My HD7 has a battery life of < 4 hours just browsing the internet in a high 3G coverage area, as well... I tested this 3 days in a row, so I don't want to argue about that, either :<
