Windows Phone 7 Series Officially Announced

[zanzabar]

u have to remember that XS isnt the target for most consumer products, we generally hang out in the server/enterprise stuff then slam some gpu on it. if they pair it with good hardware and get some app support it should be fine but i dont think that we are the target.

look at what the general consumer has problems with, IE my little brother didnt know how to get drivers for his graphics card and thought that windows update gave them to him

Exactly, the 7 series will be a success PRECISELY because people on this forum do not like it.

Somehow I knew Microsoft would screw this up... again... They should just abandon smartphones. Too many good/better alternatives: iPhone OS, Android, webOS, Maemo (Meebos or how is it supposed to be called now?).

The UI looks not bad, but you need more than that.

How are those good? I couldn't get my BT keyboard or, BT GPS with Garman Mobile XT on either of those. Windows Mobile 6.1 had a lot of freedom like any Windows OS. Few days ago I updated the driver for SDHC to get my 5 year old phone with 8 GB card. I didn't even have to buy a new phone. HTC Tornado with 200 Mhz, 64 MB of DDR and 8 GB microSD was enough for GPS and talk.
