You are taking the author's words way too literal. This is an article on Engadget you are quoting, not the bible here. The author could have easily wrote "though he quickly added" or "though he quickly elaborated that" or many other options. You are grasping at straws here.

We all realize that you absolute hate WP7. What we don't get is why you need to go into every thread to tell everyone about it. Also, you are saying that Nokia will make "yet another mediocre WP7 device"; that's just as bad as the people calling ipad2 a fail already. The device hasn't even been made yet, at any level, so how can you say it will be mediocre, or poor, or great?

How anyone can spin this as a bad move is beyond me. This will put WP7 phones in the hands of more users, which benefits all of us early adopters big time. For the international WP7 users, there is now even more pressure on MS to provide the same (or nearly) WP7 experience that US users get. Nokia gets to SUBSTANTIALLY decrease their development costs in regards to OS and apps. Android and iOS users will benefit as this gives WP7 more market share, which results in more competitive pricing.

For those wondering why Nokia would limit themselves to just WP7 and not go the Android route (which has not even been confirmed that is what is happening), why would Nokia even want to partner up with a company that mere days ago called Nokia a "turkey" and publicly insult them?

I think the point Mishaye is making is that the original statement that Nokia can make changes stands, the pull back is that they will make changes. The option is there in the future as far as Nokia is concerned.

The big take away regardless is that there had to be any clarification made to a statement this early after the announcement.

I think Nokia will become the exclusive OEM of WP7 otherwise MS won't be able to keep a standardized UI experience.
[Windows Phone 7 General] the92playboy:
And if he did, you would promptly come here and state it as fact because some Engadget blogger wrote it. You are not helping your case here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slighmd:
i think they should leave the OS alone and focus more on the hardware, which is how they should differentiate themselves. Add in their 12MP carl Zeiss optics, etc etc etc. Tinkering with the OS could potentially slow it down.

Here, here. Come on what more do you really want from your phone's OS. Do you want it to tell you when your hot pocket is done. Do you want it to tell you what the waning moon cresting over a hill in senegal whit the egyptian leader is crapping?

It's a phone. MS has done a good job of getting a market place up and stocking with pointless useful apps just like Google and Apple. Hell I even have all of Van Gogh's painting on my phone now. ( Nice app though )

It's been out for what four months now. Apples first OS took two years to become what it has become and they still screwed up the antenna in the new hardware. Google's gave it a hell of a go but like one of the other poster said you are left out in the cold with updates if your phone is to old or a ladybug in Romania get squashed.

It's stable, its fast and it's elegant. Give 'em time and see what they'll do with it. They said the first Xbox would fail and even after the 360 had a 40% failure rate MS fixed it and brought more invation to the online component. ( coming from a PS3 user )

[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
If they are so great why are sales declining?

Why are they choosing WP7 as their primary OS? (Lets not mention that most of the decision makers at Nokia are from Microsoft )

No other OEM has made WP7 their primary OS.

Nokia has been promising stuff and not delivering software wise, so it makes sense to let another company make those promises and not deliver.

This is either incredibly stupid, or brilliant beyond comprehension.

This is such big news that only a handful of sites have mentioned it. 3 of them are Microsoft users sites.

Can't wait to see Nokias first 1ghz snapdragon phone next year.

Nothing is ever good enough to satisfy you, it seems. You complain that if they change anything, it will detract from other experiences, but if they don't change anything, it will make it another run-of-the-mill headset. If you don't like their strategies, go and buy a Samsung or an HTC, no one is forcing you to purchase a WP7 Nokia device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Over8ted:
Sales speak NOTHING for user experience. WP7 runs extremely well and is polished, but because people are so ridiculously butthurt over the fact that it's a "Windows" software platform, people are going to turn away from it just for that sole fact. Sales should only matter to the greedy a**holes who run the corporations and the stockholders and the functionality and user experience is what should only matter to the consumer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Your user experience doesn't mean a thing if no one is using it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Over8ted:
So you're saying an OS has to be popular to be enjoyable? And you're using a WM6.5 device? What ever happened to having an enjoyable product because you, yourself like it?

Maybe you should actually get your hands on a WP7 device that's more than just a demo model. Don't jump on the tech blogger's bandwagon and base your opinions off of what a bunch of reviewers think of a brand new OS. Android, iOS, etc. all had to start somewhere too. Believe me, it will improve.

WP7 is awesome. I had a Milestone and an Xperia X10 and i can say Android doesn't offer you a good user experience at all. It can have many nice features, but they are obfuscated by the terrible user interface, the bad performance it can have in many devices (even in powerfull devices as the Galaxy S) and foremost the OS update which is just ridiculous.

I have an Ipad and the interface is awesome, but i must say the MS has broke equal when we talk about user exprience. There are still some features to be implemented and some gliches to be fixed as the OS is pretty new, but hey, it's promising and the update is just arround the corner. I would never, not even in a thousand years move back to Android(i have a HD7)

Why no other OEM has chose WP7 as the main platform?

Because MS took to long to launch it, and it can take a while for the OEMs to change their main platform. But MS is rich enought to wait (and to give some money so the OEMs adopt theyr OS hehehe)

MS + Nokia = The most wealthy SW company + the best mobile hw maker

[Windows Phone 7 General] tissotti:
It was most read news yesterday in whole BBC and every European media outlet i did read had on it's top 4 news and we not talking about protests in Egypt, but tech company changing OS. Engadgets whole last day was nothing else than about Nokia with +7000 comments.

Nokia got huge brand power that i don't think all of our American friends understand this. Plus they got 11 billion euros on their bank account and are second most profitable phone company after Apple.

Very happy about this. I have really liked WP7, but has been put out by the slow sales of it and it seemingly not going anywhere. It's anybody's guess where WP will be in 3 years, but in short term this will boost WP7 sales hugely.
[Windows Phone 7 General] phoneguy 4567:
I agree Nokia is in the passenger seat in this deal. I'm starting to think that all this talk about Nokia being able to change stuff is a way to let them save face, otherwise it is just another OEM announcement. In a similar way they didn't completely kill Meego but it is now some sort of project LOL.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Gadgety:
Basically I agree with your questioning why Nokia would limit themselves to WP. I can find a couple of reasons, the main one being cost, cost, cost. Nokia will fire employees like you have never seen. Cost-wise it's cheaper to focus. The second reason would be that Microsoft gives Nokia some more freedom than other players in tuning the OS and interface, in return for its singular commitment to the WP OS, and third, Elop is a major owner in Microsoft. I read somewhere he's he 7th largest direct holder (i.e. private) of MS shares in the world... I haven't been able to substantiate it, though. If correct, that could be a good reason for Nokia to focus on the MS OS exclusively, wouldn't you say?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Gadgety:
Why own them if you can get them to do what you want anyway?
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
This is a good deal for both companies. Nokia was suffering from lack of an innovative OS platform and MS was suffering from lack of hardware innovation. WP7 hardware so-far is lackluster at best.

Hopefully the two companies will get in the lab and design a hardware/software combination that can truly compete with iP5 and Atrix and whatever new innovation is hitting the market soon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] phoneguy 4567:
Excellent points.

I can't see MS letting Nokia make major changes to WP7, & any changes made I would think would be available to any OEM if it's a OS change. If it's just apps that are put onto Nokia phones then that's nothing special, AT&T & other operators do that now. I bet MS will offer other OEM's the ability to customize the UI as long as it just sits on top of WP7, & can easily be removed by users. The other direction is MS makes Nokia the exclusive OEM of WP7 which I don't think will happen, at least not yet.

I wouldn't want Nokia anywhere near my OS if Symbian is the best they could do. They are in the situation they are in because of a lack of forward thinking & innovation IMO.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
If you don't look at Nokia as just a OEM partner and instead look at them as the new hardware division of WP7, you can very well see changes being made to WP7 just to appease Nokia. They even slightly hinted at this by stating that other OEM's will have access to innovations created by Nokia and MS.

This Nokia relationship gives MS the much needed control over hardware that they lacked with Samsung/HTC/etc. Specifying minimum standards is one thing, but literally controlling the design (like Apple does) will create a synergy of OS and hardware that WP7 doesn't have yet. MS contributes to hardware design and Nokia contributes to OS design.

So MS and Nokia are both putting their strengths together. I don't see either side as being a loser. Separately they both may be losers in mobile, but together they can win.
[Windows Phone 7 General] phoneguy 4567:
I don't think MS cares about the contributing to the hardware design, they have always been about the software.

Samsung, HTC, & LG are not holding back MS IMO because they all have to follow the minimum standards they set out. If anyone is/will hold them back it is the network operators who will try to stop features & updates.

It is good for MS to have Nokia making WP7 phones there is no downside for them. I just don't think Nokia is helping themselves by just focusing on WP7, & the big gain in market share MS is expecting is questionable. Time will tell.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
Nokia is loosing money and market share rapidly, they are under the restructuring to cut cost - a lot of people will loose their jobs. Their Symbian/MeeGo sales are pretty much shut. What do you think the next step to bring the books under a balance? Cut manufacturing costs - and we know what that means.

As far as the competition with iPhone5 and other highend devices are concerned, I don't think you will see a finished product from Microkia until the CES 2012.

Here is the direct hit that Feb 11th announcement has made on Nokia

http://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NYSE:NOK
[Windows Phone 7 General] Gadgety:
Hopefully they will both be winners, but it's clear to me it's Nokia taking the risk. If "WP only" fails the speed of the downfalling will be much faster than it has been during the past years. Microsoft on the other hand are not really taking any risk, as they have already invested in the OS, and are free to sell it to anyone they please.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Gadgety:
Yep, that's it. I couldn't agree more. The carriers, network operators, are now in on the deal. This is a perfect partner to play iPhone vs Android vs Microkia, and thereby secure their own success.

ya.. i don't know how to take that.. i have a feeling that this will be a good time to get this phone as in 2 years ATT will have most of the kinks worked out of their true 4G network. @ that point it will be time to upgrade. I have always tried to keep myself in the decent current position of having relatively new tech. I have found jumping the gun to quickly can lead to frustration with new tech (still don't have a tablet pc and the laptop im typing this on is 6 yrs old with its new brother sitting in the floor needing parts to be finished). IMO i think that with the current backhaul+ and what i want to use it for the Inspire will be great for my first steps into the official android world (ya i want a Font facing camera but no one i know has one so no need for that tech just yet). :cool:

Just to clarify, the text under WIFI, GPS, etc etc in the notification bar, where is that located? In a jar file?

To be fair, the HD2 build is probably optimized better than the stock wp7 build on the HD7. I can't believe that there's that much difference though, they're the same thing internally! Then again, doesn't the HD7 use a class 2 memory card for it's internal storage? If the HD2 has a faster memory card installed, I can see the apps and what not loading faster.

The HD2 really is an incredible phone. I had a Nokia N95 and for 2.5 years between the time it was released and the time I replaced it with the HD2, there was nothing to touch it in terms of all round functionality.

The HD2 probably won't last as long with more Tegra 2 devices coming before the end of the year but the ability to run WM6.5, WP7, Android and other OSes make it unbeatable for the average techie.

Hello.

I have a problem.

I get the Lg gm750 Layla without simlock and yesterday i buy ( bought?):p

internet contract for 5 euro per month

but now i cant get in the internet, because my phone only want to connect to vodavone Web, but my service provider is blau.de

Anyone can help me, how to get in the internet not with vodavone web?

P.S: my english is not so good :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CycoreCB:
Hallo.

Da Du den Provider "Blau.de" nutzt, gehe ich einfach mal davon aus, dass ich in Deutsch antworten kann. Mein English ist bei weitem schlimmer.

Damit das I-Net korrekt läuft, musst du zu aller erst eines der Vodafone Profile editieren. Gehe in die Einstellungen > Verbindungen > Bestehende Verbindungen bearbeiten. Setze nen Namen wie "BlauDE" und als Verbindungstyp "Cellular Line (gprs,3g,hsdpa)", auf "weiter" und als zugangspunkt "internet.eplus.de" eingeben.

Da ich Netto nutze, kann ich mir aussuchen, ob ich Benutzernamen und Passwort frei lassen kann, ansonsten klappt auch UN: NettoKOM - KW: NettoKOM.

> Speichern.

Als nächstes nochmal ins Menü "Verbindungen und den Reiter "Erweitert" anklicken > "Netzwerke auswählen". Beides auf "VF DE Web" stellen.

Als Letztes noch in den Windows Einstellungen auf "Browser Connect" und Default setzen. Ein Tipp von mir ist noch Im Tool von Active Sync auf dem LG mal unter Menü auf "Verbindungen" zu gehen und die Synchro von Kabel und Bluetoothverbindungen abzustellen. Das kommt nicht selten zu Blockaden.

Mfg

Everything is working great on the rom and I even got a 287 on quadrant... the highest I've ever gotten on any rom on this phone.

However, when I shut off my screen and or turn it on, the animation is really screwy. It looks like what happens when you turn an old tv on/off.
