[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
Look, mate. You're really making a lot valid points here. But your continious use of terms like "M$" or "lol, i loled at you" doesn't make you look very mature. How should anyone take you seriously when all kinds of discussions having with you end up in terms like that?

But back now to the points you've made. Even though most of them are true and valid, Microsoft can't be held responsible for every single one of them.

Most if not all presentations we have seen so far were made using devices with the specs our devices have. I didn't even notice one single decrease in performance. To be honest, the opposite was the case. Scrolling was way better than it is now. Even in third party apps.

I guess you know that you actually can copy text from websites. If you can't, then either you don't know how or it's just by design of the website itself, not IE. In both cases it's not Microsofts fault, is it?

Furthermore you can paste that copied text into OneNote without any problem. So are you talking about a third party note app? If yes, it's again not Microsoft who can be blamed for it.

I share this problem and agree that Microsoft definitely needs to fix it. Doesn't require a hardreset though. Just connect your device to your PC, start Zune and wait a couple of minutes. You'll notice that all of a sudden your marketplace tile shows that there a updates available. Now disconnect your device, launch marketplace and get those updates. The issue itself seems to be temporarily. Because most days I get these notifications and don't need to connect my device to the PC.

Simply not true. If it's not working for you, it's either a device specific issue or your device is simply broken and should be replaced. I never ever had any problems pausing and resuming music from the lockscreen on my HD7.

Huh? What are you talking about? Of course you can save pictures from your facebook folders.

This has also been discussed several times. The availability of Zune Pass in other countries than the U.S. is not in Microsoft's hands. In Germany for example there are specific laws that just don't allow the way Zune offers music via Zune Pass.

Local Scout and other Bing services is a different story though. I agree that it's yet way behind googles services and Microsoft needs to work on that quickly if they want to compete.

I don't know what you mean here. When I installed Zune for the first time I created an account and all worked right out of the box. But maybe you mean something different.

Who said that it only remembers the last 5 recent apps? Close or not, what makes it any different from how Android and iOS handle it? I honestly think you don't quite understand how that multitasking used in mango really works and why it doesn't even affect performance. Mango will basically change only two things:

- make recent apps visible by holding the back button so you can switch between them

- enable immediate restarts, which is even possible right now by just changing one registry key

Now what happens when exitting an application? The application state is cached on the storage (NAND devices will be a little faster here than devices using SD cards). If you now resume an app, it's loaded from the cache. Again, it's just pretty basically spoken. The process itself is more complicated.

I'm quite convinced there will be an official skydrive app at some point. Even though there's no real need for it as all documents will be accessible straight from within the office hub.

No one can force you to use skydrive though. If you prefer having your documents directly on your device, do so. But I agree that the current solution - sending the documents to yourself via E-Mail - is a pain in the ass. But with skydrive? Sync your documents to your device via WiFi and you're good to go.

I don't like it either, agreed. But is that any different from what Apple does with their devices? No. It's exactly the same. At least some of us are able to replace the built in SD cards easily.

Wrong, it is confirmed. If it's good or not that the settings aren't saved yet depends on a certain point of view though. I for one would like to be able to save them. But I know a lot of people that like it just the way it is.

Is it? I don't know. But I like it. Seems to be a good solution to me.

I completely agree.

Yeah, I whish notifications would be stored somewhere so they could be accessed later. But in most cases live tiles work very well for me.

Well, I admit that WP7 has its downsides. But I'm still very happy with it and believe it will even get better. See, every OS has its pros and cons. It always depends on personal likes and dislikes. What is good for me may not be good for you and vice versa.
