[Windows Phone 7 General] joex51:
Good luck With That.

I didn't know they had an SDK for it yet.

IMO you are putting all your Eggs in One basket by developing for a Product that a lot of people, that know about devices have already said they won't endorse or buy.

But seriously Good Luck!

Sorry if any of this has already been said but her it goes,

I could be wrong and this will outsell the iPhone and Android but that is not the point!

WHy would you want Xbox Live access from my Device, I can't play HALO on A WM Device, what good does this do me?

Zune? really I hate itunes but Zune, I have a finger friendly Music player on My phone in Sense or TF3D or I can get a skin for WM Player.

These can not be serious Arguments in favor of this Mistake that MS is making.

IF MS goes through with this I will probably not purchase a Windows Mobile Device Ever again.

Why would I?

I would purchase a Product that is established like the iPhone or an Android based phone by the time they release it Android will have more market share.

If MS is going to start being like Apple and dictate how I can use my device I will switch to an android based device.

I like the ability to Flash ROMs and experiment or build my own ROM if I want, thats my Choice.

If you want Someone to tell you what you can and cant do with your device,

Check any sort of "self" at the door and Buy an iPhone!

I want the ability to customize my phone and put Files where I want! I saw a report that they( MS) don't even plan on having Support for external storage such as SD cards(micro or mini). So I will be limited to what ever BS memory is on the Phone.

No multi-tasking IS BS too.

you want an example:

I work in the IT Field,

Let's say one of the exchange servers I work on is not sending mail, (this is hypothetical since god knows that A MS product would never just stop working) I want to reboot that server, so I RDP into the server, then I Open another app and start to ping the server, then go back into RDP and tell the server to reboot. I then go back to the other app and wait until it starts to ping again them, then while it is still pinging I go back into RDP and make sure the server came up Properly. Obviously I had No access to a PC when I had to do this.

So basically MS I telling me one of the main reasons that I bought this device IS not important.

Sorry But if Microsoft wants to out sell Apple and the iPhone they should be more like Android than Apple. When they make WM7, don't just make an SDK, but Release the Source Code. If MS did that they would sell a lot more Devices than Apple or Android, IMO.

We know this will work, if you want an example look at the threads about apple Suing HTC over patent infringement, why because Android will eventually take over the Market,Even Apple can see this! if MS goes though with this travesty they call WM7 it will leave me and alot of other people no other choice. Yeah Android has its issues but remember it is in its infancy and Stock releases are extremely stable.

I would rather have to deal with the quirks in WM to get wwhat i want from the device than be told what I can anc can't do with my device.

I mean Jeesh, whats next is MS going to monitor what apps i run on my device as well and when I run them like Apple!

All of Microsoft Products have suffered and have become harder to use and administer since Bill Gates left the Company.

I mean MS is a big bad corporation but i would rather have that than the dictorial BS Apple users have to deal with.

I Just like many other people feel that MS will be making a huge mistake by taking away the ability to customize and leaving out options, that are the main reason that people buy their devices in the first place.

This might sell to a few people but MS will have no Market Share if they do this.

Basically if MS is gonna follow Apple instead of take back the lead, then they have already lost the race and should stick with PC OS's and drop out of the Mobile device market all together.

I am not picking On anyone in particular and sorry if this is "off topic" but WTH is wrong with People these days, they Don't want to think for themselves, they want to be told what they can and can't do because they are too lazy or afraid to think for themselves, from the Government to Corporations tell us how to live! Stop being sheep and think for yourself!!

Sorry again!
