[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
Some of the responses on this thread are idiotic on both sides.

- WP7 doesn't have terrible quality apps. Coming from Android, I would say I've seen a huge upgrade in overall quality especially when you look at apps like flixter, AP, IGN, Ebay, IMDB, IGN and Kindle. That's not to say all apps are better. Yelp and Facebook apps are commonly used apps by me on both platforms and Android has better versions by far.

- Like someone else has been saying, WP7 is nothing like an Xbox. Sure, they both contain Metro and Xbox Live, but the games aren't the same. In fact, those two things, for now at least, are the only thing they have in common. I'm sure in time we'll see more games that are cross compatible but nothing substantial as of yet.

- Internet Explorer does NOT suck. It's perfectly smooth, renders pages correctly, and has an excellent use of multitouch. Overall, I'd say Android has a more accurate browser but I prefer IE because of how smooth browsing is. It's like using Opera Mobile on Android but even better. The main problem it has when it comes to rendering is that the font is too big sometimes. Mango is bringing IE9 and Flash may even be available by then which will most likely make it the best browser in every aspect for me.

- If you think MS has incompetent developers for neglecting to add in features like C&P and multitasking you must be kind of slow. MS had a platform in in mind that combined all of the features from their biggest IP's together and in order to do that they needed to be in development for over 2 years. Is that really hard to get? They had to make sure they had everything they wanted down, then they could expand it. They want all of their features to be perfect the first time they implement it which is something I wish Google would do with Android. C&P was a pain to use up to until the latest update in Gingerbread in which C&P is somewhat consistent. It still isn't as good as iOS or the implementation of it in Sense 2.5. MS will most likely have it function the same through most of the OS because that's how it should be. Multitasking is another thing that could use some work on Android. Why do you only get your last 8 apps? iOS gives you all of them but on Android you get 8. It lacks a good task switcher to come with it stock and that was very annoying to me. WP7 will most likely get something like iOS which is more than okay to me. This is also where HTC came through for Android in Sense 2.5 and had an app switcher in the notification drawer.

- Updates will not be a problem for this platform. There isn't a reason MS shouldn't provide updates to its consumers. They've done so on previous versions of Windows for the PC so why wouldn't they with WP7? They've already promised Apple like updating process through Zune with the first update bringing C&P, better memory management and a marketplace search fix. Mango is supposed to be WP7.5 with numerous unannounced features. There will also be many updates betweeen NoDo and Mango.

- If you have a problem with hacking your phone to get the most out of it then why are you on this site? Who cares if you have to unlock WP7 to get even more out of it? Nearly all of the benefits you get from it are all tech-geek related and all of you root your Android devices anyway.
