Well, hopefully the Win7 phone OS is better than what they have
previously released. (I doubt it) My Brother has suffered greatly over
OS crashes on his MS OS based phone. ..Everyone act surprised.. I, on
the other hand, have had zero problems with my Droid, with Android.

Hold your horses, the Droid does crash. You just have not done
anything to make it crash.

Not saying it,(Android) or ANYTHING is invincible by no means, as that
would be a lie, BUT a mere unexpected reboot not loosing anything,
compared to a complete crash and loosing everything and two days to get
back up and running with MS OS as my brother experienced and others I
know of, IS still a major problem. K? Has YOURS crashed? NO? How can you
then compare? Read about it? Believe everything you read? I don't.
...People tend to exaggerate.. A LOT!

Obviously your brother is not technically minded and finds it overly
confusing because the Windows phone is hard to use for novices. He
should have bought an Android O/S but not a Sony or LG.

As for your zero problems, bit of a porkie, that. Box-based application
and icon system are heavy on demand and
getting the most out of Sense still drains battery and demands heavy
data use.
May not be a problem for you but is is for me.

As for Phone 7, there is a big risk for Microsoft as many people may
enjoy the
personalisation and life the OS provides but others may find it overly
confusing
and simply too social network heavy. For all that, it still seems to
have strong business potential.
The Office integration was pretty smooth. Microsoft has made sure that
anything typed on a
computer can be edited with Windows Phone 7. An essential for me.

But in the end, what do you care? Just another silly Linux troll on a
Windows 7 group with nothing better to do...

I had another dotNet developer send a general email out to the whole
department about his love hate with MS and his MS phone. He was going
to get an iPhone. I told him about my Droid, and he came back to work
with a Blackberry. I guess MS has some problems with the phone.

Not as big a dip**** as you.

We post on here because we use and like Windows and don't need any Linux
trolls with ulterior motives.

Go and peddle your garbage somewhere else where it will be appreciated
by the terminally dumb.

How is this going on the retreat you numbskull? You can't even read
what's there in my missive.

Get back to your imaginary business and talk with your imagine friends.

It's really not a problem if one gets an extended battery, and one
installs a task manager to kill tasks/programs, which drains battery
life if left running and they are not needed anymore.

And they did the same with the Droid. The Droid can do it all MS
word, excel, PowerPoint, pdf, with the ability to create word and
excel files on the phone and more. There is even Bing for the
Droid. The Droid is fabulous. It's to the point that I don't even use
my laptop using vista anymore to do day2day personal business.

I especially like the fact that I can turn the Droid into a wireless
router and connect the laptop to it wireless, which supports upto 5
wireless connections simultaneously. I will be dumping BB and just
use Verizon with 5gb download limitation with the Droid for all my
machines. I don't surf that much anyway.

Now have a open mind, the Droid is fabulous.

I have a Galaxy S which features Samsung's Social Hub which collates
emails, texts, instant messages and events in to a single, real-time
feed to make it easier to stay in touch with friends. But I'm also
looking forward to getting Phone 7. Windows Phone 7 has a UI that is
just as quick and straightforward as Apple's offering. Microsoft say
they have spent a long time making sure that Windows Phone 7 will go
easy on the battery. Fine by me. Nearly all the applications and
software on Windows Phone 7 are cloud-connected with contacts, photos
and home screens constantly updating. Rather than feeling confusing the
phone seems to develop a life of its own, as your contacts change so do
the various applications and the home screen.

What he fails to remember, surprise, is that you and I DO use Windows 7,
and we both have said we like it and use it for whatever purposes we see
fit. We have stated over and over that we use BOTH OS's for the best of
both worlds. Zealots tend to omit, edit, ignore facts, and take things
out of context to taint what a person REALLY said or meant. Surprise
again.. NOT..

Nitpicking about what OS a person used to posted with, is just the
accuser not having a lucid, intelligent, response. Typical really.

I can buy, use, and like an OS, (Win7 in this case), but I DON'T HAVE to
LIKE the way that company does business. We all use products we like
where the company that produces it isn't the best with its
tactics/practices. That is just a fact of life, but I certainly don't
have to like their methods, and be quiet about it as well. If a company
doesn't know how its customers feel, they just continue on doing the
same thing. DUH
