Microsoft is not messing around when it comes to spending money to promote the new Windows Phone 7. According to the New York Post reports global corporate titan Microsoft has allocated over $500 million for both the Windows Phone 7 and for the Xbox 360 Kinect. That’s over $1 billion dollars (pinky up to my lips with my Dr. Evil stare)!!! Seems like Microsoft is at war with Nintendo’s Wii, Sony’s Playstation 3, the Iphone and Adroid all at the same time. Ahhh smells like a price war will follow and we can all afford some new and really cool toys! Let’s face it though. Microsoft is the worldwide leader for software. No one really comes close. They are super smart by making their software communicate with other devices running other forms of Microsoft software. The Windows Phone will be able to communicate with Xbox Live and Zune software but with also every other Microsoft software loaded on your pc. Beyond that it will also be able to function with software created for Microsoft. Adobe announced that Acrobat X and Adobe Reader will be available for Windows Phone 7. That makes a lot of things way easier to view on your mobile device. I think 2011 will be a new era in technology across the board. With almost all facets of the tech market having big and serious players each offering their own brand of cool ideas we will all see some great tech and software advances come out. I feel that the Windows Phone 7 will make mobile devices way cooler than anything we have ever seen before.

Perhaps if they spent more money finishing the OS, and less money trying to sell it, fewer people would end up disappointed.
I found the best scratch protection for my new HTC Windows 7 phone. check out http://www.covertshield.com. Lifetime warranty and great price.
I got my post deleted. Why? I used the “s” word?
I told the truth. Salespeople (or even MS) of WM7 devices are committing fraud.
WM7 goes beyond SUCK.
Read your state laws on implied warranties and fitness for a particular purpose.
I see a class action coming… And I *will* solicit a couple of attys to spearhead the action.
Give me a refund OR ELSE. I ain’ paying ATT $35 dollars restocking fee to test out MS software.
I’ve been a loyal MS developer and WM customer FOR YEARS. THIS IS ABSURD.
will it be for free if we have phones with older version of windows mobile? i mean like update or sth like that
I have no credit so how can downlored that cool x ray for the mobil
not perfect but could be the best:
It must tether or act as a wifi hotspot. Must.
When plugged into the computer, it should work as a remote control for the Zune program running on the computer.
It must be easier to get office files on and off of it… It used to be that I could copy them directly to the micro-ssd… but that is not possible now.
Also, I should be able to upgrade the internal memory when I can afford it by replacing the ssd… why not?
The number of alert sounds are too limited. Beyond that, I need to be able to assign ‘sound profiles’ so that I can assign sounds to situations. I like to have one for each of these times: A normal profile, when I am asleep, one for being quite, and a last one for being silent. Currently, this phone only allows a volume slider, but no alert is appropriate for all situations. Here is a redesign for you: Change the slider to only 5 steps. Each step gets a default volume and alert that would be appropriate for these different environments with different noise level. You can have 5 or so alerts for each of the 5 groups. In the “Noisy Places” environment, you can suggest more crazy alerts. In the “bedtime” environment, you can suggest more pleasant alerts. Etc. If you really want to kick it up a notch, then have the volume level set only in a fuzzy way so that when the phone send an alert, the phone compensates for the ambient noise that it can hear with its mic, but if no-one answers the alert, the volume escalates. That would be sweet.
I should be able to use any app on the phone independent of what else is going on with the phone… other than talking on a call. If this is to work, a hard button on the outside of the phone must be able to pause and resume the player, and maybe a second to switch from the ‘player screen’, the ‘phone screen’, and the ‘front screen’ (being that the ‘front screen’ is either the app chooser or the current app). Again, sweet.
