[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
that's not a fair comparison. I'm betting your custom ROM has the lag fix implented already.

I was really suprised after reading the reviews on the samsung galaxy s and android in general that the phone did that.

T-mobile customer rep was actually the one that told me about the fix that I then passed on to my friend. I thought winmo had some lag, but that thing would freeze up for 15-30 seconds while just scrolling. Since the fix he says its not had one lag.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
No, no lag fix installed, all data is RFS which I am not happy about, waiting for a stable z4mod to convert it to EXT4.

I am running Axura ROM on stock leaked JK2 Froyo build.

I am not denying that there are laggy devices out of the box, mine was suffering from stuttering when I received it, once I fond this board it was like heaven.

[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I chose the HD7 because the OS is the best there is. And it will get better as time goes by. The Vibrant wasn't even a consideration because of the lack of a flash on the camera. If I were to choose among T-Mobile phones, the HD7 and the G2 would be the only choices for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thenotoriouspie:
I love my G2 but it seems like it wouldn't be as good as a business phone as anything running windows mobile.

I second the vibrant hate. I had so many problems with that phone I sold it for 100 dollars just to get the G2
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
WP7 is not windows mobile though
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Def the HD7, and u see what im using.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Had my vibrant for one week now, came from the hero. I say get the Vibrant, you wont regret it all.

I just rooted it and installed a custom Rom for fun, just because I could. I love it, and I'm thinking about getting back into the Modding scene.

If you have a older device, then any of these two devices will be a breath of fresh air to you.

You can't lose with either one. Just pick the one that interest you the most.
[Windows Phone 7 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
i run the captivate which is similar to the vibrant...i say go with the vibrant man, im not dissing windows 7 mobile or anything, but everytime i run windows mobile phones, i get nothing but problems...i owuldnt mind getting a windows phone a year from now when all the devs start getting apps out for free on the market like the android has, but i think android will always have the better share of the market IMHO
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
guess you didn't get the memo that WP7 is NOT Windows Mobile...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sherwood1:
I have a Samsung Fascinate. And honestly im completely let down. Not by the phone itself. It has amazing hardware inside it. But unless the OS is supported and developers develope........then there is no point!

If you want games and Apps and so on...then stick with Windows phone 7........

If you want just a phone browser email then get the vibrant...but if you want more than stay away from Android...........
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
If you have an HD2, use it for Android and get the WP7. The HD2 is excellent for getting a feel for Android and running it. You get all of the Android apps and games like you would with a dedicated Android phone, except you get more with the HD2 because you can choose from a variety of builds and they will use any and every app on the Market. The dedicated Android phones won't do that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
Check the first page, I think we had another user with the Fascinate complain about Vibrant.

These are almost the same outta box, and completely different once you come here and start making it the way it should've been.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
So in essence you are telling the person to haul three logical devices/two physical devices :rolleyes:

I have to carry two devices, my personal phone and my work blackberry, and it is a PITA.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Android doesnt have games? Where is this nonsense coming from? ACreed, Avatar, Sandstorm, Nova. Get a Gameloft Live ID and look me up. I'll beat anyone in a Multi-player match.

Apps, got that too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Depending on your use case you may have to do that anyways.

Vibrant doesn't support Windows Media 10 DRM, so if you're a Zune Pass user, or use any subscription service that utilizes anything other than OMA DRM 1.2, you're S.O.L. Some services have an Android App, but they don't offer as good a Value as Zune Pass and most of them rely on clunky Desktop applications that hijack file associations and have bad performance in typical iTunes/QuickTime fashion.

You need a ZuneHD, WP7, or WM 6.5 device to Sync the subscription music and play it on your device. Notably... Nokia implemented Windows Media 10 DRM in Symbian^3, so I'm thinking about getting a Nokia seeing as how they have moved to a WP7/iOS model of updating their OS (will add functionality to all devices as updates, instead of separate "versions" of the OS, obsoleting older devices). I was doing some research the other night and Symbian is like a very robust Windows Mobile. It just doesn't look as pretty, but I can probably get beyond that as long as the device offers the required functionality.

Also, the Stock JI6 browser Force Closes 100% of the time on the Skydrive site, so you can't download your documents from there. Gmail only lets you "preview attachments." But that doesn' matter, because the JI6 ThinkFree Office fails spectacularly on Office 2010 files. You're buying a $15-$25 app from market if that means anything to you.

So I've been carrying my HD2 with my Vibrant for Documents and Subscription music for quite a while. Yes, it's a complete and utter PITA, and one that I seek to remedy quite soon.

Did Samsung really think I was going to fill up that internal SD card with AmazonMP3 songs? 99 cents each to buy when I can download all I want and get 10 free per month (almost an entire albulm) with Zune Pass. They need to add WMDRM support and push it out in a firmware update, IMO... That's a complete and utter failure as far as I'm concerned, and could have won big for them vs. competitors as well.

No Android phone that I know of implements WMDRM support. The first to do it will probably sell hoards of phones to people with Zune Pass subscriptions who don't want to buy Nokia devices and are leery of WP7, but are tired of carrying around spare WM6.5 handsets or ZuneHDs to have their music with them...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Android apps are pretty bad, TBH. A lot of them are glorified web pages, as well. Google needs to crack down a bit more on the app market. The lack of moderation is inexcusable, IMO. Apps from First Parties are the only ones I use - and the XDA App. I've uninstalled pretty much everything else because there are too many force closures, too many apps ask for permissions they don't need, everything has Ads (just degrades your battery life when using your phone cause they're always downloading crap, even when the app itself doesn't need internet access), and too many apps run as services. Menus aren't consistent at all, and 80% of apps don't have an exit option, yet they will not exit when you back out via the back button. Most recent example is Opera Mobile. It doesn't have a damn exit option, and uses its own menu system... Ugh... Uninstalled it immediately after I downloaded the documents I needed (which I couldn't read, see post above).

GameLoft is not comparable to XBox Live.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
You're correct, you can't compare live with asynchronous. Gameloft Loft Live actually does what the name implies.

Everything else you mentioned was your problems and your opinions.

I only see ads on free Apps. My Gmail downloads attachments(if yours doesn't search the market). Documents to Go has handled everything I have thrown at it.

Also N8ter, everyone can't afford to take on an extra bill each month for Zune Pass.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Zune Pass basically pays for itself. Getting 10 songs a month from Amazon MP3 + subscribing to Pandora costs the same as Zune Pass. It's not even approaching expensive.

Also, those are not my problems. Those are phone issues.

I cannot make a phone not read Office 2010 documents. Tell me how to make ThinkFree Office read those documents.

Tell me how to make the phone support HTML Mail over ActiveSync from Hotmail without buying TouchDown/RoadSync or some other fairly expensive 3rd party application.

Tell me how to make the sAMOLED screen not be oversaturated.

Tell me how to the stock browser from crashing 100% of the time at the Skydrive site. It's certainly not a Silverlight issue because Zune.net has Silverlight content on it and it loads fine with the Zune Content linking to the Silverlight download site. Also, Opera Mobile loads SkyDrive with no issues, and it's a Beta application...

Tell me how to add a Download attachment button to the GMail app.

Tell me how to add Windows Media 10 DRM support to Android.

Perhaps you should try these things before calling them my problem, because as of now you comment seems a bit... ridiculous, to say the least.

You seem to be assuming I haven't spent hours-days researching potential remedies for these issues. The remedies are to either spend money on third party apps (Office App, Exchange Client), download redundant applications (Opera Mobile), potentially hack the phone up (to get rid of lag, and/or install another version the Gmail App), or just deal with it. The OS is customizeable, so that should make up for its shortcomings - right. Of course, you week of Vibrant (or rather, your renamed quasi-Euro Galaxy S) use has just made you an expert on the phone's capabilities and how well it performs from a business and consumer sense!

Anything can be too expensive. That's hardly a solid retort. Zune Pass is almost free. It pretty much pays for itself.

I didn't even know what GameLoft was before you posted that (I tend to Google instead of wasting time asking "what's that" on a forum). XBL does exactly what they say it does. Have you used XBL on an XB360, much less on WP7?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
if you are so into your galaxy s phone, why are you spending so much time in here with wp7???:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] f1restarter:
LOL thats exactly what I was wondering. Same goes for the 6.5 fan boys that are spamming every WP7 thread they see. It's like they're bent upon making the WP7 into another disaster that was WM.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mr mystery:
Have to agree with this, fine after a reboot but let it run and...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The sad thing is, they usually have absolutely nothing to add, and 99% of them have never tried to help people even with trivial issues... They use those as opportunities to bash the platform.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sherwood1:
Guys im so hated in the android forums....Let say though ive had droid 1, droid eris, droid incredible, droid x, and now the fascinate. So i think ive given Android enough time and effort to make me love it.

As far as games.... @vetvito Are you being serious? Android had ZERO games there garbage!!! second hand 2 year old ports from Iphone!!!!

THERE ARE ALMOST NO GOOD APPS ON ANDROID!!!!!

I loving the day that windows phone 7 comes to verizon!!! Microsoft is gonna update all phones in a timely manner, no fragmentation, microsoft will have APPS GALOUR.... NO APPS MAKES IT A BORING PHONE!!

This is why iphone is such a hit! APPS DEVELOPERS...microsoft has a great chance to catch them in quality. Android will be on more phones but ummmm sooo what! Its horrible!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Yeah to N8ter and everyone else. I wont stoop to you guys levels. I provided valid answers and you guys provide opinions and flames.

To answer your question about have I played XBL on the 360, yes. Its not the same on WP7. WP7 is asynchronous, and doesn't support Live games at the moment.

Please do some research if you refuse accept valid answers.

Here is my Home screen configuration, i'm using the Zeam Launcher. The backgrounds are set using MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. The icons are from kovicon pack(s). Background pictures are random pictures found on internet which somehow were fitting for that specific screen).

Main screen :

News screen (RSS feed of a main national newspaper), this one is to the left of the main screen :

Scrollable News Widget

Music screen :
