[Windows Phone 7 General] MOster:
How does this even equate? Why do I need to pull out my storage card to pirate?

In a couple of months we will have a native file system explorer, we will have an on-board XAP installer and we will have a host of developers who don't want to deal with the iTunes Store model. Push that timeline out further and the chefs will be in business, third party SIPs will be back, and everything will fall into place. We have a cloud of young, smart, challenge-able developers chomping at the bit and they have corporate politics and money garbage.

As an early adopter I didn't expect to be able to flash my phone right out of the gate, but I did expect a little more from Microsoft. Things will converge and they will converge soon.

I too bought an unbranded HD7 and think that the hardware is more than enough for the OS. Well maybe for now, but I also believe M$ will deliver the right updates in the future. The OS for me is very fast and smooth. I'm also not sure why there are some that are saying that WP7 lags. It just never happened yet to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
if you really believe all that I think you will end up very disappointed. If you think developers don't want to make money you are wrong. And the way to get their apps out to the most people is through a central marketplace. Why would they want to circumvent that? Sure, you will get a few novice developers that will release side load apps, but I wouldn't expect you to get a full blown marketplace. How long did it take for IOS to get hacked and cydia to take off???
[Windows Phone 7 General] macpilot:
So what is the source of this feature list? Has Microsoft confirmed this information?

Also, does anybody know how the update process will be done? As a new WP7 user with a Mac, I am concerned that I will be screwed when a big update comes along as it sounds like it will only be done via Zune software on a PC, which will erase all my music and photos that I have currently synced with the crappy Beta of the windows phone connector software for Mac. I know because I have synced the phone both ways. Friggin MS couldn't just release Zune software for the Mac and make it the same for both platforms.

Will some updates arrive OTA, and larger ones via USB? Please provide sources if you can. Thanks guys.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MarcBate:
Ditto to what Cranbone said
[Windows Phone 7 General] andrew-in-woking:
Connect to PC

Hi macpilot

The demonstrations that I have seen suggest that updates will not be OTA but that you will get a message pop up on your phone to say that an update is available and that you should connect your phone to a pc to download the update.

Hopefully Microsoft will have thought about Mac users in this process.

Cheers

android - some phones you have to wait a really long time for a froyo update and some are promised with one but never get it or take a whole year (backflip anyone?).... and now here comes gingerbread, they don't have a standardized update system..... i can understand why but it gets annoying at times

iphone - no complains here except it took them too long to get all the features.... but then again the competition only started to heat up in 2009-2010.....

Mr Shlomo78, you have made so many postings banging on about WP7 being slow, and very little else, that I wonder whether perhaps you are an ugly, warty mythical creature that lives under bridges and spends their time frightening billy goats.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
LMAO :p sounds about right
[Windows Phone 7 General] andrew-in-woking:
Faulty device or network problem?

Hi shlomo78

My HTC 7 Mozart is a quick phone. It is much faster than my old HTC Touch Pro2. The only waiting times I have is when I have no WiFi and I am in an area that has poor network coverage for data (GPRS). One difference I notice between WM 6.5 and WP7 is that while quite a lot of applications for WM 6.5 are designed to be run entirely on the device, e.g. a Bible reading application, where data is retrieved from a local source, the WP7 equivelants all draw up information from an internet source, hence experiencing frustrating waits when the data connection is slow.

WP7 cleverly disguises pauses between events with animations. Occasionally I notice that these animations go a tiny bit slower, which is obviously giving the OS time to execute tasks. However, I have never had to "wait" for the operating system to do anything, only for data to be retrieved from an online source.

If this doesn't answer your question I fear you may have a faulty device and should seek a replacement.

Many thanks

Lets get back on-topic.

I'm a bit more skeptical towards the future updates.

For all we know Microsoft is waiting on the 2nd gen hardware phones to actually release WP8 and will leave us early adopters standing in the cold with at most a few minor updates.

If Microsoft is really dedicated to bringing updates to WP7, why don't they enlighten us with some more information instead of keeping us in the dark.

Off-topic:

We could really use some wikileaks-like information on those major companies keeping us consumers on the leash.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nizzon:

I guess its a missing feature in Zune. Right now we have to run a "hacked" slow version for last.fm scrobbling. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i think windows phone's path will be very similar to iPhone. Even if they hold off all these updates to windows phone 8, we as windows phone 7 users will still get the OS update as a whole. i think even if the numbers jump quicker (wp8, wp9, etc.) i'd still be happy if my windows phone 7 kept up with the overall updates till my contract ran out, and then some.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
If Microsoft screwed over early adopters making release hardware phone unable to get a future WP8, then people would leave the Microsoft offering. Wouln't that leave a bad taste in your mouth and make you apprehensive about buying another Windows phone which might get left out of a big, future update?

Companies are usually secretive about updates unless it is to fix a problem that is affecting the sales of their products. We will have to wait and see what else besides c&p will be in the update.

[Windows Phone 7 General] CPCSR:

[Windows Phone 7 General] jaspaworks:
I've been using Windows phones since WM2003 and have been waiting for the WP7 release for some time now, so patience is not the problem.

And I'm not saying they should release the update(s) right this instant, but Microsoft has been working on updates even before the release of V1. It wouldn't hurt them to give us some info on what they are working on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
It would be nice, and they did that to some degree by confirming copy/paste. But we don't get that kind of information from Apple or Google, I wouldn't worry that we aren't getting it from Microsoft.

That said, Microsoft will have stuff at CES and will be doing a keynote at Mobile Web Congress in February, you know they'll have stuff to talk about.

I don't know if its coming rumoured of what but me personally would love to see them add the ability to turn off the hard keys when playing games. My one gripe with my hd7 bar flash not being there and it being on rubbish O2 is that when playing games i keep tapping the home key and bang straight away I'm out of the game (i almost had my 100 planes in one game achievement on flight control).
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:

[Windows Phone 7 General] jabberworx:
It's A LOT worse on the Samsung Omnia 7 because the back and search keys are both touch based and are very sensitive (probably more so than the actual screen).

I really find it annoying when an app doesn't support proper resuming, particularly flight control where it should be easy to save the game state and restore it, the game just reboots itself up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
Full in-browser Silverlight support should hit at the same time as Flash support. As I understand it (from various quotes littered around websites) both techs have been ready for WP7 for a while, but the challenge has been getting them on to the phone in a way that doesn't compromise UX, battery life, reliability or security.

registry entries have been found for this, but MS haven't said anything as to what they're actually for and when they'll be activated. as much as i'd love to see every feature we want in the update coming "early 2011" (MS words), MS also said that pretty much the only confirmed feature is cut/copy/paste. they've not said anything else as to what fixes/features will be coming.

i am only saying this now because i don't want people getting all pissed at microsoft when everyone was expecting every feature under the sun, when really they only said they would deliver but a fraction of it, and the rest were just people making noise to get others excited.

Just read the "Big" update we are waiting on and expect in Feb. won't happen till Aug/Sep. Saddness
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
I read your link. That's not what it says...
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
The title from the engadget article does say August/September but there is no reference to it in the actual article.

I think it would be suicide for them to wait that long. Cmon MS, just release it stages. It is not like WP7 suffers from excessive manufacturer customization making updates harder to apply.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gordec:
I just want turn by turn navigation, a medical pharmacology app, and google calendar labels to sync, and I'll be a happy camper. WP7 is really well done now I'm IOS->Android 2.2->WP7er.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Titus_Andronicus:
Has MS ever suggested that they will increase the Bluetooth capability of WP7? I would like to see COM Port function (SPP?). Not being able to connect my Bluetooth GPSr may end up being a Deal Breaker for me. I realize the phones have internal GPS, but normally, internal GPS is just not that good. My Bluetooth GPS is extremely sensitive and accurate, and has crazy battery life.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Read between the lines. The point of my sadness is in all likelihood MS has altered their plans and might have decided to wait till Aug/Sep to do a massive update rather than in Feb. I hope this isn't so, but I'm a bit pessimistic. I've seen stuff like this happen before.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Yeah, but the article says that the Aug/Sep update is in addition to the one coming at the beginning of 2011. No need for sadness. I think MS is fully aware that they are in "catch-up" mode.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
There's probably going to be a Jan. and Feb update. But highly doubt that either one will be massive like was rumored. One article I read said the Feb update would make it seem like WP8. Now the Aug/Sep update is suppose to be like WP7.5. I just think MS is backstepping a bit. If they were worried about "catch-up" they would have released a full-featured mOS at launch. I knew they wouldn't and was satisfied with waiting for future updates, but the rumors and talk of a massive Feb update just excited me a bit too much to now be told it might wait till Aug/Sep.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
That article about it being WP8 was referring to a Tweet, from someone who is NOT from microsoft. So Microsoft is not backpedaling at all. They haven't officially annouced anything other than Copy/paste.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
And I never said they did. I think I did mention "rumors" of a massive update reported as being so big it could be considered WP8. I understand MS never officially mentioned anything. But these people do get their "rumors" from some place. But knowing that MS monitors these forums, they would know that a great mass of people were excited about such a massive update. That, in itself, should be motivation for going forward with a massive update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jeffgeno:
So one guy starts a rumor, you buy into it, and it's Microsoft's responsibility to come out with a giant update in 2 months so you're not disappointed?

I hear rumors Microsoft is giving everyone a bar of gold the exact weight of whatever Windows Phone they own. I'm buying a Venue Pro right now and Microsoft better not disappoint me!
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Well your info is coming from two different writers, not from MS. So I wouldn't put too much faith in whether it is called 8.0 or 7.5. More likely 7.x because 8.0 would indicate a new generation of hardware and advancements in technology.

I would hope that both updates are huge, since MS is playing catch-up. Until they match Android and Apple feature-for-feature, they don't need small updates.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Reflexx1:
So, a few days ago I was talking to my wife about how WP7 doesn't let you type web addresses into the browser in landscape mode. It isn't that big an issue to us, but my wife was considering getting a phone with a keyboard. And at AT&T, that's the LG Quantum with a landscape keyboard.

So I picked up the HTC Surround and showed her what I was talking about. And then I picked up the Quantum and pulled out the keyboard and attempted to show her how the Internet Explorer address bar would disappear when it goes to landscape mode.

....but it didn't. So I said, "Hmm... I've been hearing that people were complaining about this. Maybe you can't type in it." So I tried to type a web address... and it worked. All the while, my wife is looking at me funny. (which is a pretty common occurrence, by the way)

So, it sounds to me like landscape address bars will likely be in the first update since LG already has it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TodStarr:
It seems like the future of digital money will take on a new level with the new Nexus 2, as it will work on Android 2.3 (aka Gingerbread), containing a feature called ‘near field communication’ (NFC). This feature allows the phone to interact with NFC-enhanced devices, which basically means your phone could be used as a digital wallet to wirelessly pay for things in retail stores. Some say that this kind of technology will eventually replace credit cards, which I find a somewhat disturbing development. Google is already the emperor of the information age… what is going to happen if they will also have the data on financial transactions? Won’t we be giving in too much to Google’s power?
