It actually happens more often than you believe. It is a forum not a thesis. People also use poor grammar, incorrect punctuation, and horribly formed sentences.

And to think I was agreeing with you about it not being a rewrite but that is you. Only if we would all admit our faults.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dccorona:
some of this stuff is just wrong. For example, you state that for contacts management, the iPhone can only use exchange or mobile me...however, it can also sync contacts via windows live (because windows live now supports exchange servers) and also with gmail...but you have gmail listed only as an option for android, even though it can also be used to sync contacts/calendars etc with iPhone and WP7

Copy/Paste was available from day one on Sprint's Arrive. Day one was 3/21 (prior to your post).

Oh, and Windows Phone 7 "<10 apps"??? At this time LAST YEAR it may have had less than 10 apps, but by launch it had over 1600 and growing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
hte guy who started this thread is bias anyway, so do not waste your time on this... i will like to see what those guys will say after tha mango is out as it will bring alot of new apps, which were demo by the WP VP at mix11....

by the way the app count is 14,000 right now...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I think you should stick to playing with your mid-range phones and planning on getting a WP7 device than being a board warrior for Microsoft (and Nokia, apparently) :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Because petty insults make you feel better about yourself.

I can only afford the phones I can afford and I like Windows Phone 7 despite owning 2 android phones. I, however, cannot begin to give you advice on being a better person. No one here has time for that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JonnieLasVegas:
N8ter go smoke a blunt and relax. Many people overstand this isn't a rewrite but choose to word it simplistically. Or may have a different native language. If they don't know, who cares, no harm no foul. Either way it's not worth getting so worked up over. Sometimes there are some things that are better left unspoken.

Whoever has the most gullible fanbois doing their marketing job for them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Depends on what game you are playing.

"Who wants to be a trillionnaire (in mobile)" - Apple is leading by a huge margin.

"Nuke 'em for peace", "Where's the money, honey?" - Google

"Biggest loser" - Nokia/Symbian

"Biggest loser wannabe" - HP

"Too big to fail?", "Eat fresh", "The most confusing and meaningless marketing campaign for a billion dollars of all times", "Excluded feature set of the decade", "Charity of the year" (for handing over a market on a golden platter to the worst competitor), "Raiders of the Lost Update", "Worst PR of the year", "Mishandling the best music service beyond recognition", "See this candy? Want to buy it? We won't sell!" - Microsoft

Overall, Microsoft is obviously winning, getting the biggest number of awards.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
With awards like that, why dress up to go to the show? :D

I remember years ago before Apple, I read an Thesis from a Masters student about the phone OS war. He/She predicted that Microsoft would grab the lion's share of the market, citing an increased capability of cellphones in cpu and ram would make it more like a computer, thus opening up the possibility for Microsoft to see an explosion of software and developers for the platform (Windows PC programs running on WinMo).

That paper needs a retroactive F and next time do not bank on Microsoft. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] xsteven77x:
This comparison is such a waste. Ios is up to 4.3 and android to 2.3, and none of this accounts for all the new features that have been added. Just close this thread.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Well, the comparisons come up on a weekly basis. You need someplace to move them. It does seem to come up less and less though. I do wonder if it will get better or worse when Windows Phone gets more updates.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
Why is this stickied? The original post was over a year ago and almost none of it applies any more?
[Windows Phone 7 General] gerryjoson:
Hehe, very funny, I enjoyed reading that post
[Windows Phone 7 General] xsteven77x:
Exactly. Get this fan boi flametastic trash out of here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] benq3x:
Winner is Android
[Windows Phone 7 General] conantroutman:
Its stickied because it gives those who want to endlessy (and pointlessly if you ask me) argue about which OS is better, a place to do so without cluttering the forum with duplicate threads.

Nobody is forcing you to read it, or post in it.

Says you :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] evolutionqy7:
Tbh its just asking for fan boy fights.

The chart on the first page and a few after is heavily outdated to the specs of the OS's. So relatively pointless unless updated.

Today is today. Not yesterday
[Windows Phone 7 General] conantroutman:
I agree but Id rather have that rubbish contained to one thread that all over the board......

It would be good if the OP could update the first post. If anyone else wants to the I can c&p the updated info into the OP......

Personally I think comparisons between any OS no matter how relevant the info is are pointless but there are always going to be those who wish to endlessy argue the pros & cons all day and night.... this gives them a place to do so without bothering anyone else who doesnt want to get involved in such a pointless discussion.
[Windows Phone 7 General] evolutionqy7:
It still doesn't stop 100's if not 1000's of posts popping up on XDA. Screw windows im going back to iOS or Android or vice versa. The document on the first page is useful but in need of heavy updating :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] 74C:
WM 7 is still newer.

Android is versatile.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicromant:
It will be great if someone now can update the table including vision or roadmap of scalability and open development tools :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
windows mobile 7 is very smooth, very fluid, quite beautiful actually. it owns ios and android. pity that it doesn't do that well. any update would be nice but it's fine for me as it is because i don't hog apps or games. only have weather and news apps and a psp for a proper portable game console :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] farhadabas:
As a former Android user, my WP7 device has been a delight. No more laggy scrolling, clunky menus, and crowded interfaces. Everything about it is nice. Just cant wait for Mango...
[Windows Phone 7 General] evolutionqy7:
Note i sort of mixed the places for Google Chat and FaceTime :)

Its still not complete :) and ill be adding more info once im finished with my exams :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] lisajacobs:
i have such bad experience with windows mobile, i'm never going to buy a phone with windows mobile again. I'd prefer android or iphone os. Depends on whether i want open or closed source, not yet made a decision.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
Maybe you haven't heard but its now called Windows Phone, not Windows Mobile anymore... hence, showing a total different approach to what a mobile smartphone is.

Its a bit like comparing Windows 3.11 to Windows 7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
There's nothing wrong with getting an Android or iPhone. Both are very capable platforms. But I am afraid I don't quite understand the point of coming into a Windows Phone thread in a Windows Phone area of the forum, to make that announcement. It would probably be much more well-received in either the Android or iPhone areas.
[Windows Phone 7 General] the-wrangler:
agreed..bigtime. Like comparing apples and oranges (or mangos lol )
[Windows Phone 7 General] mahversion:
o________________O ok
[Windows Phone 7 General] barc0deguy:
i have never used..webos... but i have used an iphone, windows phone and an windows phone android ported in it...iphone has a lot limitations...and as android is opensource...it increase the scope for new possibilities.. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] evolutionqy7:
Tbh the average consumer doesnt even care or know what closed open souce or open OS means.

They just want the phone to work without glitches, lags or force closes.

I was Windows Mobile user. Then when windows mobile started dying and my fav chef moved to WP7 , I moved to Android on HD2. Tbh it was great in start. But after a few months of having to upgrade and tinker around i just got tired and moved on boards with WP7. Tbh ill never go back to Android.

Only alternative is to upgrade Wp7 when new hardware comes out or back to iOS. The smoothness and reliability of the two is uncomparable to Android.

Really. Why should you have to tinker with your phone for hours to get the most out of it.

Apps are also alot nicer on iOS and Wp7 than android. Games run smoother on the same hardware.

As i said someday your gonna get damn bored of always tinkering. You wont have time or other reason. You will go out and buy the closed limited OS to do the thing its meant to do the right way at max capacity out of the box.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
strange that people compare ios to wp7. its more like android. except for the occasional stuttering home screen, android is very similar to ios. you can add functionality but you can't change interface. wp7 is in a class of its own
[Windows Phone 7 General] maverickzero:
Eh... Android is the only mobile platform in the game that you CAN change your interface?

When mango come out I do agree wp7 to be in a class of its own.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hungry81:
Delete...,.........
[Windows Phone 7 General] evolutionqy7:
I wouldnt really compare Android to iOS. iOS is nice and smooth. Something that Android fails to do sometimes as its inconsistent.

To me coming from HD2 as my first smartphone with Cookies Hometab Android feels like an updated version of WinMo. Obviously better but still with the same problems
[Windows Phone 7 General] topsite:
1,android

2,ios

3,wp7
[Windows Phone 7 General] papadawgg:
android is good, but i also like ios
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
got hold of a samsung galaxy the other day. the layout (except for the home screen) and working from the user point of view is very similar to ios. is jerkish at time but still very similar to ios in its working. android home screen reminds me of spb shell. windows 6.5 is crap. wp7 is like nothing out there :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Abdul9.:
I love wp7 believe me i really do but i dont know why the hell they had to do away with being able to retain the name of the files you copy to your device and run exe files on it. I mean i have a very good Navi software but this is useless for wp7 as i can't even see the Navi files when i copy them to my device less run them. Thats a very big dissapointment. How sweet wp7 would be if they didn't place this ristrictions. How i wish there was a way to merge the pluses of Windowsmobile with the pluses of wp7, but i guess that will remain a dream.
[Windows Phone 7 General] haranbh:
Cmon guys, you CAN'T compare Windows Phone 7 with iOS nor Android !!

Windows Phone 7 it's just a baby !! iOS is on the market for 5 years and Android for 3 !!

Just give some time to Microsoft and I'm sure they won't disapoint us, since it's a software company, unlike Samsung that is a hardware company and created a OS for mobile (Bada).

I'm sure Microsoft will invest HARD on Windows Phone 7 and developers will jump in!

Just remember the problems involving the iOS and the Android on they release. If you compare, the Windows Phone 7 is WAAAY more polished than both.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bosmanos:
!

I agree 100%! wp7 will squash android in the comming two years. If Microsoft does everything right then Android will be eliminated from the market.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
I'm a WP7 supported and avid user, but stating that Android will be eliminated from the market is just fanboyism taken to the extreme.... get real.
[Windows Phone 7 General] haranbh:
Yes, I don't think that Android will be off the market... BUT WP7 and iOS will be the big dogs and Android will be off the highlights.
[Windows Phone 7 General] koolxx:
i want to add to the consensus. wp7 will definitely squash android, again, if and only if microsoft does things right.. android is too nerdy, ios is boring, and wp7 is fresh, clean, and modern.
[Windows Phone 7 General] haranbh:
Yes, but RIGHT now, WP7 is kinda boring too... But it has FAR more potential than iOS and Android.

I just love my Omnia 7 :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
After the Windows 8 unveiling yesterday, it will be interesting to see whether they will be able to leverage the consistent Metro styling and gain some additional WP7 momentum (the "this is the future of Windows computing on all platforms" strategy).
[Windows Phone 7 General] suua:
Right now i have a android phone! and i allways liked android! but to be real i am sick of this poor quality of the apps what we can finde on the market!!

WP7 in my opinion is the most sexyest looking OS out there! and very smooth to, (android cant compere with that), i only wish that the developers will jump kinda more on this platforme and build som great apps, as i know the quality of the apps on the marketplace is very good ? correct me if i am wrong!

Andoid, opensorce, do enything you f**** wanna do :) but it feels like android is not totally a complete platform, i found all moste evry android phone is kinda laggy! nos as smooth as WP7 os IOS.

IOS, appstore (Y) but iOS looks like its a toy :)

anyway, i hope Microsoft will launch the FULL WP7 futures in Europe, couse im really looking forward to this awsome OS :)

Cheers

search?:xdaforums.com+XDA+android+lag

About 405,000 results, would suggest the problem is not with the user...
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
because that's a valid argument... -_-

Oh, hey, can I borrow your phone for a few days, root it, flash a rom, and totally make it my own so I can learn how to use this device before I consider buying it?

Android is laggy, it's a known issue and it's going to remain that way because of the wide array of hardware it's on. There's not much that can be done to eliminate the lag altogether. It's not unusable but it is laggy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pth6:
thank you for this good comparasion!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bjonne:
This chart is worth nothing as it havent been updated for over a year. Alot of things have improved mostly for the Windows Phone 7 and Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Stitch!:
People saying android is laggy is utter bull****. Im rocking 200+ apps and no lag whatsoever. (ofcourse if you get a low/mid-end phone and use a heavy launcher it's not silky smooth, but thats logic)

Tried webos, nice but not enough reach.

Android fanboy for now, but it can change. Was a big fan of N95 before so.

Tried WP7 and I was very impressed. If I would have to choose between IOS and WP7 it would be the second. The reason for me not to move to a closed system is just that is is to much trouble to customise and set everything exactly the way I want to.

Perhaps I will get zune mp3 player in the future, I really liked zune in WP7.

Oftopic: ROFL at apple saying competition is healthy but their competitors should innovate instead of steal their tech, and then come with IOS5..
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
i played with the galaxy S and it was laggy...

i was hooked on communicator from Nokia but the 3rd party service sucks and the OS was just okay, but the phone did well what it suppose to do make call and battery life was great, i did not carry note book as it had almost replced it my NB..

Zune MP3 player is a dead product for MS...

i agree with u on iOS 5 taking stuff from othe OS and putting up as innovations.... bull****... but you cant blame SJ he has lost so much weight since his cancer... hens no innovation...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Stitch!:
I have a Galaxy S and its nowhere close to laggy. The original filesystem was laggy, wrong choice of samsung. Lagfixes and firmware updates fixed this. Check some lagfix videos of the sgs on youtube and you will see what I mean. It won't lag whatever you throw at it I promise. Have the SGS2 now and its the same, no lag whatsoever and even faster loading times.

I do agree that Android has been notorious and still is for being laggy and this is not only caused by the low end phones but also flagships like the galaxy s and desire hd. But for the techsavys under us, this is quite easy to fix.
[Windows Phone 7 General] haranbh:
That's the problem..

Nobody wants to keep fixing their phones anymore !!

Fact: The ORIGINAL Android is laggy because there's no hardware acceleration.

There's a lot o "fixing" videos on YouTube, we know... :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] phonex1:
I don't see why WP7 and iOS get so much flak here. Sure apple may steal, but they are good in optimization. Make no mistake, I have a moto atrix and galaxy s right now. I had an iPhone 4 before. I prefer my next phone to be nokia WP7 or iPhone 4s/5...

Simple? yes. Working out of the box? hell yeah!. No bloatware? sign me up.

For people who say iOS is locked up and blah blah blah, let me give you this, for my given usage pattern - heavy music playback, videos on train, 3d gaming, facebook and ebuddy/twitter, i found both iPhone 4 and the atrix/galaxy s neck and neck. But the android heavy weights dropped dead 8-9 hrs earlier than my iPhone 4 would. Still miss that.

So call me brain dead if you will, but apple is not stupid. And its products do actually work, contrary to popular belief. They may not bend over for your particular style, but in the end jobs doesn't say "dont do this on your idevice". Its just "this method of doing it more optimized and better". Honestly i would take that advice and enjoy a better experience.

I am liking the simplistic and improved WP7 after mango. IMO both MS and apple are more consumer centric and have shown that, while google is busy pushing its ad business under the guise of "open source" getting locked by manufacturers and bloated by carriers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hamzie:
whoop whoop wp7 mango vs ios

[Windows Phone 7 General] Megneto:
I have been using Samsung Galaxy S for a year+ now, and I think it is the worst purchase of my life, it lags whenever it feels like it needs to. It crashes when it feels like it has too, it doesn't connect with 'any' PC I can put my hands on, which means I am stuck with Froyo 2.2 (unless offcourse I take it back to Samsung, who want to charge me for the damn upgrade). I think it will be my first and last Android phone. I don't squarely blame the OS for these all issues, as many instabilities creap in due to manufacturers slapping their sloppy launchers/stuff on devices. If I compare all these issues with my older Omnia i900, the WinMo though old even at that time, it never ever crashed, no sluggishness, battery time was excellent. So frankly, I am waiting for next WP upgrade and simply jump the ship for good.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Stitch!:
Sorry to hear that for you, but everything you mentioned so far can be fixed, here on this very forum.

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml

USB drivers, so your computer recognises it (my windows 7 pc does it by itself)

And flash a custom rom of your taste, lag will be over and you will have 2.3.3 or 2.3.4;)

Good luck and let me know if this changed your opinion.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thelloydr:
at the end of the day,

if you dont like researching a given problem, just want a solution,

GET an IPHONE. That takes all your thinking away and makes the phone work to your standard.

IMHO, android is more for those who want a say in how their phone works, and especially how to make it better suit them. That being said, several of my mates have adopted android (HTC) phones and are quite happy with how they work, would not think of playing around with the ROm or anything. I personally got bored with my HTC desire after abut two months and began messing around with different ROMs. I can say there's never a dull moment and i'm getting used to SMS, camera etc not working the best, but for my buck its well worth it. PLUS, i'm learning more and more about how your smartphone (which is definitely going to be a big part of future developements) actually functions.

here you can find a new comparison between wp7, bada, iOS and android. but it's only in german: comparison
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
It would be fun to compare it to an old pc too hehe
[Windows Phone 7 General] jzyaa:
look complicated
[Windows Phone 7 General] indigotheory:
In my personal experience after owning a first gen iPhone, X10 mini, HTC Mozart and now a Samsung Galaxy S2, and various Nokias in the past. I would say Android is the better OS by far, and it seems to be miles ahead of the competition.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
Care to elaborate?
[Windows Phone 7 General] B4PJS:
Right, I have an HD2 and have had it for 1 1/2 years. I have run wm6.5.5 custom ROM, Android and now WP7 nodo. Of the 3 WP7 just works, and is by far the superior of the trhree. I have now had an iPhone 3Gs as a work handset for two days and have had 2 fairly major issues with it so far.

1. A couple of apps failed to install properly and left "loading" icons on the main screen. Only way to resolve was a hard reset.

2. Today it lost the ability to connect to data connection and not even toggling data fixed that so had to reboot to get it to connect again.

Neither of these issues has EVER surfaced on WM6.5.5, Android or WP7. In fact I NEVER reboot WP7 and have had uptime of about a month now!

For me it goes like this:

WP7

Android

WM6.5.5

iOS

I hate the iPhone with a passion, it is a useless bag of crap and cant wait to "drop" it so the screen will break and I can have a bit of respite from it. FWIW I have dropped my HD2 many times and have never had my screen crack, yet I know so many people whose iPhone screens have cracked!
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
Had winmo since ... can't remember, had android up to 2.2, then this. I think this is miles better than android. My girlfriend has my android phone right now and when I see it I can't help but feel this is better. BUT I also think that quite depends a on user preferences at the moment. Android is far from being a bad os !

That said I would never recommend ios.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
After using WP7 even in it's early stages you couldn't pay me to touch a device with another OS. I am completely sold on everything WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
I was utterly and totally sold 101% to wp7 until I started developing on it. Seeing issues with the marketplace/certification/visibility/consistency/etc made me go maybe to 99% :)

I still maintain it's the best os by far and large. Only weak point is the marketplace, not the quantity, but the structure, the organization and the backstage with all the kinks and unreliabilities you have to put up with (as a developer).
