I'd love it to be the 21st Oct. and is still very believable date. I remember when the Telstra NextG service Launched along with the HTC TyTn II (Imate JASJAM Branded) and the Staff only learnt about the Service about a week before Launch and knew absolutly nothing about the phone. When I walked past the morning of Launch when posters were being put up I was so Happy I could by my new phone.

Rang the store at 9am and they were trying to find out where I heard about the phone (Knew about it from the Net and Forunms) trying to dig out info as all Telstra staff were under NDA's from their training. Just said well I just walked past your store and you have posters up in your windows.

So hope that date is correct! :)

-Lucus :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] makku12:
I will buy one as soon as I know that I'm going to be developing seriously for it. As of right now, I'm still playing around with the emulator. I really like the interface and want a WP7 phone.

However, I own a Fuze (Touch Pro) and it works fine still. I won't upgrade to a new phone until the Fuze breaks... or if I really am going to develop.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
I'm definitely going to be sleeping late tonight. Launch is 12:30am Sydney time (then from what has been stated online, Telstra and Microsoft will be releasing details of the Australian release tomorrow (Tuesday). Can't wait to see what hardware choices we'll have :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:

Wohooo! We are getting copy&paste starting next year!

What a joke. We also may get proper multitasking in 2012. And file explorer in 2014. Seems like "sugar and stick" method to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Erik Latranyi:
I am happy with my HD2 for now. I will wait for better processors and OS upgrades before switching.

I will get a Windows 7 Slate next with 3G (Netbook Navigator Nav9 or Expo PC)
[Windows Phone 7 General] KeithRVA:
Just checked out the event blog at Engadget, good stuff. My friend who loves his HD2 (gifted to him by yours truly) will probably love the HD7. I'm slightly totally jealous that WP7 will have a Netflix streaming app before we get it on Android. Boo Netflix, boo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sdlopez83:
No copy and paste/ cannot move files within the oprating system or use it as a harddrive. ou are a slave to its own zune and apps like the iphone.= Fail for us xda users
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
I'll keep this thread up to date...just check back...hope the information on first post help...

I'll sit back now...and wait for the new webOS device,and compare it with the sexy dell venue pro(a.k.a Lightning)....

Cheers...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ren13B:
Since the Samsung Focus is the only phone that will be available from at&t at launch that's the one I'm going with. Only having 8GB of storage is a disappointment but for $199 I can live with that. 4" amoled screen doesn't hurt either :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sledgeman:
For me there are three candidates. HTC Mozart, Samsung Focus and LG Optimus 7. Alot of people are knocking the LG for looking to cheap and so on. I think it looks just as good as the other models, and with 16GB storage and the DLNA app it feels very appealing to me. Just have to get some hands on feel for it later before buy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vicie:
yes, I'm getting one, for sure.

only now I am waiting for teh prices to be reveiled without an carrier

any links with that info??

pm me
[Windows Phone 7 General] chizzwhizz:
i will be getting the htc surround. love the speaker functionality, the kickstand, and the 3.8" SLCD screen...theres some discrepancy about the onboard memory but 8gb or 16gb, i dont really care.

I also like that att has uverse mobile bundled in with it...and its free for uverse customers!
[Windows Phone 7 General] AndyHy:
Seems we have to wait until 8 November?

Anyway, HD2 is good enough for the moment [will try upgrade though ;-) ]- no need for HD7 just yet !
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
its 16gb see the actual att ad shows 16gb..http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/att-tips-windows-phone-7-lineup-htc-surround-lg-quantum-samsung-focus
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
it will be the only phone with exposed sd slot and if you can get your hands on the correct sd card that is suspose to work in the new wp7 you will be all good...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sledgeman:
I really hope we will get phones to Sweden on Oct 21st. Hopefully there will be sites taking bookings and preorders during this week. Have not seen any yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] elrooster:
Why always the coolest phones has to be with some else's instead of AT&T?

I want the HTC HD7 but it's with T-Mobile :mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] pigglett:
I'm sitting on the fence for now :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Dell with WebOS or Android. Damn that phone is nice!
[Windows Phone 7 General] BenF1:
I'm liking the Thunder! If it comes to the UK I may have to sell my Galaxy S :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
I have to wait until Verizon gets a version....hopefully it will br LTE compatible ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
Gonna wait and see what the T-Mobile USA Black Friday sales are before grabbing an HD7
[Windows Phone 7 General] emuneee:
If I could, I would snap up the Samsung Omnia7....assuming the GPS worked.

I'm waiting for the next cycle of devices or waiting til next year. Things can only get better right?
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
I really want to say yes I will buy it

but then...

See I am fighting between wp7 on the hd2 and the dell model. I need a keyboard device just because I text a lot and I'd rather do it faster you know? but dells...are they good at hacking??? I'm not sure...

we have xda devs on windows and htc not sure of dell
[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
All depends on whether Vodafone can/will upgrade me to the Trophy and how much it'll set me back. If the price they ask for is reasonable then I'll go with it. If not I'll wait for the Venue Pro or HTC 7 Pro to hit SIM-free and purchase one outright (keeping my current ultra-cheap phone plan in the process, which in a way would be quite nice :)).
[Windows Phone 7 General] ridds:
Staying put for a few weeks until my contract is up.

Will then seriously consider moving to a Desize Z and Android.

WP7 does not offer me anything new apart from a faster yet not as interesting interface and no hardware keyboard until next year. Microsoft need to come up with something quick to keep WinMo fans like myself. I've used it for years but now appears the time to move on. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ren13B:
I know engadget is saying this but this link makes me think otherwise http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/basics/sd-cards-and-my-phone.aspx. The slot may be there but can it be used to expand storage?

Edit: Ill answer my own question with a video that says you can expand its storage. http://mobilitydigest.com/samsung-focus-walkthrough/

Here are the original phones being launched w/ pictures: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/windowsphone/glance.aspx

Windows Phone 7's first games:

http://gizmodo.com/5661083/windows-phone-7s-first-games-and-apps-look-awesome

Looking at the games and apps I will easily say this is the most advanced phone OS every implemented. Microsoft got this right for the general public. A lot of us nerds hate how it's locked down but it's going to be hard to resist getting a machine that can operate this smoothly, efficiently and has such an interactive and beautiful real time interface. Way to go Microsoft.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
Why HTC, WHY?! No phones with 16GB Storage available in EU, but the Asian HD7 will have 16 GB :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] StaticPlaya:
I was thinking the same thing. I will wait to see which version is being released unlocked if the HD7 is 8gb I will wait.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Osir1s:
Dell dear, please ship the venue to EU asap. Thanks.

HTC 2011 for the pro is fail, get it out for the holiday season and we can be buds again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bulldog:
Wowww, I thought Iphone UI was boring but MS has made it even more.Reading more then few months about WM7 andddd I really cant find any reason why should One choose WM7. I might have miss out something but Android with HTC Desire HD seems the next device to buy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
Im probably going to hold out for another 6 months or so to buy a better WP7 phone with more internal storage and a post-first generation processor.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
Yeah,agree with you...the first batch devices, all are using first gen processor (snapdragon QSD8250)...yay,palm gonna releases their palm pre 2 soon...

[Windows Phone 7 General] kosmarnik:
Argh. Current Touch Pro 2 user here.

Would love to upgrade to 7 pro, but I'm in for a long wait.

It's coming to CDMA first and will probably wait till the prices cool off a little.

Also our providers think it's cool to lock you in to a 24 month contract and still make you pay $300-450 for a high end phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fixxxer2008:
as i said before sprint will not get the wp7 pro until spring. long wait for most users. i still won't buy one of these, i went back to webos and the new 1ghz/512mb pre2 was just announced. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] addicus:
The only WM phone Tmobile USA didn't do that for was the HD2. Guess what? It was sold out in 12 hours and they couldn't keep enough in stock. It's all about the price point.

BTW - I thought all these phones were GSM first and not CDMA.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Keeping Sprint, getting a 2nd at&t WP7 device when the Surround is released, then dumping that device in favor of the 7 Pro when it releases on Sprint.

Excited. =]
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
Getting mixed information everywhere. GSMarena states the focus having 256mb RAM. hmm.

Theres a good review of the Omnia7 at GSMArena btw
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
sylau90, where are you getting this information from?

Just really curious if the HTC's are getting the newer MSM snapdragons (as Engadget has stated)

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] kholk:
I've bought a Desire Z and I'm happy with my HTC HD2 that is able to run WP7 as shown from Cotulla. But I don't think that I'll use WP7 for more than a day.

Anyway, Microsoft has lost me, at least in mobile segment.

According to the poll,seems like many people giving WP 7 a chance...and I believe It won't fail....Furthermore, from the laatest news, Microsoft spent 1billion dollars on advertising kinect and WP7...

[Windows Phone 7 General] addicus:

Actually now I'm comparing and waiting the dell venue pro and new webOS devices from HP at CES 2011...then,I might hand my HTC HD2 to my dad, and grab 1 new device

Also, anyone know if the Mozart will support T-Mo US 3G bands?
[Windows Phone 7 General] addicus:
I got two of the HD2's for $199 US total and locked in for 2 years last March. I have at least 14 months from the contract date to be eligible for an upgrade so I'll let you guys work the bugs out on WP7 and pray Cotulla and crew can bring it to the HD2 and try it out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sledgeman:
Congrats! Could you please take a look under the battery and see if there is an SD-slot hidden somewhere under there? :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
I don't think that there will be one under there but maybe they will add SD card slots on the phones when the new bigger and better SD card tech comes out for phones.

Gonna wait for a bit I think.

Got too much software that I have purchased for my HD2, such as SatNav being the biggy, would be a waste to get a fone that won't support it yet.

[Windows Phone 7 General] casouzaj:
Well, I'm pretty pleased with what my Acer Tempo M900 phone (WM6.1) has been giving me for the past 14 months. It simply does everything I need. But, who knows? You see, I had a Universal for 2 years, and, one sad day, it simply died. I hope my M900 lives for much longer, because the current crop of WP7 phones doesn't seem quite attractive to me. I need a physical QWERTY keyboard. At present, the closest one is the Dell Venue Pro, but, unfortunately, it is in the vertical direction. So, I think I'll wait for as long as my M900 lasts. WP7 will be, most probably, more stable by then, and hopefully, giving us trivial features, like copy-paste and full multitasking. :)

Cheers!
