love how you bring a video from August 2009 into this... as soon as i saw the date, i closed the window. everyone knows he is an ex MS... and?
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
I brought it on purpose so there is no "it is a surprise move on Nokia/MS part" posts here. The cards had been dealt long ago for Nokia, and now it is a done with business.
[Windows Phone 7 General] go0gle:
I agree with you on Android being heavy on hardware, but I don't think wp7 and iOS are that much better. Have you seen what the Nokia N8 can do on a 680 mhz and 256 ram ? wp7 won't even boot on that...

as far as this whole fiasco, I think MS got scared from Linux becoming the dominating force in the mobile world, so they had to do something, and they got Nokia. Symbian has over 25% market share, wp7 has 2% at best. In the same time period, Nokia sold 5 mil Symbian 3 (and much more with the older version) phones (3 devices) and MS sold 2 mil with the help from 10 devices and a huge marketing campaign..

Nokia's share price has fallen 18% since the announcement on friday, I won't be surprised if MS buys Nokia by the end of the year..
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
But is Symbian useful? My experience with Nokias has always been annoying. Like when you want to activate the speakerphone or activate the silence function. You have to go through too many software menus to get at some functions. The iPhone way of doing silence is best, with a physical switch like Palm always did. The Android way of doing the speakerphone, either tapping on the in-call screen or flipping the phone over, is much better than what Nokia has always done.

Symbian can be low-resource, but that's because it is a very low-level OS. I dare say, if Symbian had the quality and functionality of WP7, Android or iOS, it would take a lot more than 680MHz to run it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] go0gle:
Well yes, that is the common opinion on Symbian, and it comes from the fact that Avkon (the UI on top of symbian) was designed for keypad phones, not touch screens. The OS itself, is very mature and capable, the UI was the problem.

With their latest release, Symbian ^3, things have improved significantly when it comes to touch UI and stability. The two main real drawbacks are the vertical keypad (still T9) and the browser, both of which are being updated in the next 2 months. Elop said that they will continue to improve (they kind of have to for now) Symbian, and hopefully they can get the brand new UI out around summer, it is all QT based as far as I know.

and, here is a list of things which wp7 needs to be able to do, just to get to the same functionality level as symbian, I know that Windows CE has the potential, i just don't know if MS want to give the end consumer that much freedom.. fm transmitters, usb on the go, hdmi out, divX mkv support out of the box.. no need for 3rd party software to trasnfer files (zune , itunes)

WP7-specific limitations

* No system-wide file manager

* No Bluetooth file transfers

* No USB mass storage mode

* Limited third-party apps availability

* No Flash (nor Silverlight) support in the browser

* Too dependent on Zune software for file management and syncing

* No video calls

* No multitasking (soon to be fixed, but i am not sure if it will be real time or saved state)

* No copy/paste

* No DivX/XviD video support (automatic transcoding provided by Zune software)

* No sign of free Bing maps Navigation so far (nokia will fix that for them with ovi maps)

* No internet tethering support
[Windows Phone 7 General] pessimistic observer:
several of these check marks are locked down but can be unlocked with a little hacking which proves either microsoft or the carriers decided against a built in feature

* No internet tethering support

* No USB mass storage mode

as for multitasking saved state is enough for most things except audio

and according to microsofts anouncement today it will be real time for audio atleast

copy/paste coming next month if we're lucky and when you say fm transmitter

would that be for playing music over car stereo if so thats probably well back on the list of things to do

i hope they do add support to transfer files outside of zune so that you can transfer files to xbox right now

i can only transfer files outside of zune on pcs in which i've modified the registry and it still requires initially installing

zune to get the key needed to modify

ps. alot of sites are making note of the lack of zune mentions in pr related to the nokia parnership... could zune be phased out if so what would happen to zune software,zune pass,and zune hd would the names just be changed to protect the innocent or would the products/services go the way of the kin

[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
WP7- highly polished, extremely fresh & intuitive interface - still in its infancy, and will mature while Nokia, makers of amazing hardware puts together what will most likely be the WP7 phone of phones....

Sounds like some serious win to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JoeR7:
Nokia sold 463.1 million phones last year, still no 1.

Nokia are losing market share in the smart phone market place.

Nokia is already working with Intel with there new Atom processor for smart phones and tablets and have Meego as well.

So, lets recap. Microsoft, Nokia and Intel are all working together....
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
The Nokia+Microsoft news without consulting with the investors and partners has upset Intel, they are flying solo with MeeGo for now.

[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
WP7's minimum requirements call for 256 MB RAM minimum, so that's not an issue.

As far as the processor goes, there's no reason to have anything less than a 1GHz processor. They've been commodity for over a year now... I'm pretty sure WP7 wouldn't have any issues running on a Snapdragon underclocked to 800Mhz with 256 MB RAM.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JFH_Nokia:
Symbian user here

So, what is the best place to get up to speed with the WP7 functionality. It seems to be very pretty, but is it true there are still very many features missing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheOnly1:
Many features are indeed missing but:

1. You can add some of them (file system access, registry access etc.) via homebrew apps.

2. Some of the missing stuff is coming over OS updates this year (copy/paste, multitasking).

At the end of the day WP7 will be pretty much complete by the end of the year. It is pretty usable even right now. I'm saying this from the standpoint of a HD2 owner who has the opportunity to use WM6.5, Android and WP7. I've booted Android only 2 times in last seven days (only for playing some Angry Birds:D) and WP7 is my OS of choice for the last month. I also have absolutely no intention for going back to WM6.5 and Android stays on my SD card just in order to have an alternative and to show off how great the HD2 is to non believers :p

WP7 has many virtues (speed, extraordinary mail client that blows out of the water everything else out there!, the most compatible browser I have ever seen on a mobile device for the sites I use, fantastic Office support, mind blowing games like The Harvest or even oldie Bejeweled LIVE!) that balance it's shortcomings in my eyes.

IMO Nokia has made the right choice. By the time they join the party at least Copy/paste, multitasking and IE9 will be part of WP7

I like WP7 very much .. :):):)
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
Btw, this site is the best place tonfind out about wp7, good points and not so good
[Windows Phone 7 General] npoe:
I think that this will benefit both Companies. Nokia is a big player in the eyes of most people and Microsoft needs the backup since I'm not seeing a lot new releases of WP7 phones at least not like Android which is like rats are able to mate with rabbits.

Nokia is not doing well and eventually would have been forgotten. I only see Andriod, IOS and WP7. I think that WebOS and BB will be only within niche markets but I don't think that there was enough niche for a third OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rahul17:
What Nokia did can prove to be a huge success......

I think Nokia has the license to customize WP7 now, which is a good thing. Actually, they claim they'll be working in partnership with MS to that purpose. So, I'm already assuming that the WP7 OS we'll find on Nokia phones will be to some degree different (albait compatible, I really hope) from the one on other hardware producers.

I also think it will be quite likely we'll see other features I can't really understand why are currently missing in WP7, such as thetering and Sync with Outlook.

In other words, I think this degree of exclusivity may be enough to generate that uniqueness that is indeed needed to compete against the iPhone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] itster2:
nokia's share went down because they have admitted they will not be able to compete in this market by merging with a competitor, not because of Microsoft.

Merging with MS will only help such a company because MS has billions to throw at anything they want to succeed. you people that think these statements are untrue may want to take a look at the list i am providing of things that were projected failures.

1. Windows Mobile (sold an average of 20 mil per year from 2006-2009 and was considered a joke when launched during palms complete smartphone dominance)

2. Office (didn't have a chance against wordperfect and lotus 123 when launched)

3. windows server (didn't have a chance against novell and sun microsystems solaris)

4. xbox ... do i really need to explain this one?

they have had failures but those failures were pulled out of market quickly. Microsoft is very smart and will pull the plug on something they know will fail. they pulled the plug on Kin immediately because the providers charge an extra fee for that type of device and MS knew that wasn't going to work on a teen device. Yahoo took on Bing search engine and now their are prospering from that merger. MS now owns 30% of search market and growing real fast!

there is a reason why their stocks have split 9 times in their history.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kingmiddle:
good good and still very good.

But HTC will be jealous because Nokia permission to modify at will with the O.S while the metro .manufacturer HTC has no autorsation like this
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i doubt. as much as MS has a really good deal with nokia, anything that nokia gets MS to open up to, all the other OEMs can utilise those nice things as well. Sure, Nokia gets a bit of privileges, but in the end, even nokia said that the things they introduce, other OEMs can benefit from it and it will help nokia bring in more revenue for those services used by other OEMs.

It's a win all around.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whats77inaname:
I recently discovered that my RSA Keys are gone (used the app from the Market for confirmation). A little while ago, I lost my Evo, I got a replacement, and the lost unit was found and returned to me later. It supposedly is blocked from going back on the network, so I'm not going to try and put it back on my account, but I checked last night and 4G connected w/out a problem. So I'm wondering if I could Amon-Ra Nandroid the phone w/the keys, and restore that to the new phone w/out the keys? Does it seem at all plausible, or is there a simpler way to transfer the keys from one unit to the other? I've been reading a lot of the 4G threads, and it seems like it is a possibility, I'm just unsure as to how exactly I should proceed w/out horking things up more.

Is it a possibility to make backups of the keys as per step 6a of this thread, edit the MAC and transfer them over? TIA for any guidance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
take the wimax.img from the phone with the good keys (bad esn) and put it on the sdcard of the phone with the bad keys (good esn) and then in the good phone open a terminal emulator and type su then type flash_image wimax /sdcard/wimax.img

feel free to make a backup of the bad wimax partition first just to be safe
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whats77inaname:
A lot of what I read indicates that the keys are specific to the MAC address. Is this correct?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayStation3:
Ok, I can't say one way or the other if you can trade out your RSA keys between phones, but I wanted to tell you that sprint can unblock or unrestrict your old phone if you request them to. I lost my phone a few months ago and had to make a claim, I went through the whole process from the police report to getting my new replacement. The phone was blocked from the network a few weeks after I got the new phone - I found the old one, I called sprint and the police to let them know I had found the phone. Sprint asked me if I wanted the lock taken off it and now its the phone my sister has...works just fine, so if they tell you they cant remove the lock - tell the Rep you want to speak to a manager... now, there MAY be a limit on the days for the phone to be found before the lock becomes permanent i.e if the lock isnt lifted in 30 days or 60 days it becomes perm... but i found my phone in 3 weeks...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bamba1260:
My understanding is you can't use another phones keys. I don't have any experience first hand, but there was a thread about this a couple days ago and everyone said the keys are phone specific and there is no way to switch.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flying_low:
+1

I lost my keys and researched for days. Wimax keys are non-transferable :/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whats77inaname:
Well, I did manage to use the aforementioned method from post #2 and got the key transferred. The WiMAX RSA Key Checker now says that the RSA key is present, so that's good. I've been researching this issue for the past couples days, there's a lot of info to process.

Edit: In the interim, I checked out this thread. I ran "fastboot oem wimaxrmac" and it didn't error out, it shows the IP address from the donor phone. It appears that the issue for everyone is that yes, the key is specific to the MAC, so the fact that the recipient phone is showing both MAC and key from the donor makes me think this might work after all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whats77inaname:
Well, I can confirm that this method works. I am able to connect and sustain connection on 4G. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strung:
The RSA keys, mac address, username and password are all stored in the wimax image. So transferring it from one phone to another should work.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtkansan:

So I just flashed Mikfroyo 4.5 and am loving it. I flashed the 4x5 workspace mod and that works perfectly except I don't like the rosie with it. I downloaded the myn close rosie from the mod list off that forum and it won't install from recovery and I can't get it to work. It says I need Metamorph but it says the file is invalid so I'm kinda stuck at the moment.

*Update note* When I flash the .zip in recovery, it tells me to use Eidfy scripting instead. Not really sure what that means or entails but I'd like to know how to do this, otherwise I'll just have to deal with a 4x4 screen at the moment since the rosie I get is completely transparent and I don't really like that.

Also, I flashed one of the color themes from the list. I wanted the blue theme. Worked like a charm, but the wallpaper image is still green.

Any hints and tips would be helpful here as I am still learning.
