edinlexusV8 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Some latest reviews (from 18th Oct) http://www.pocket-lint.com/review/5074/microsoft-windows-phone-7-review http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/208079/windows_phone_7_the_genius_of_tiles_and_hubs.html?tk=hp_new Interesting concept to have hubs and tiles. Whether it will work, is for another day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 They don't look like proper reviews to me, I'm hoping for something a little in-depth. I'm looking to replace my Xperia X10 (already), Sony are taking far too long to get updates out of the door and 1.6 is strangling what is otherwise a very nice phone. Sitting on the fence over iOS (iPhone 4) / Android 3.0 and WP7 at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Playing Apple at there own game eh? Problem is, brand loyality amongst apple users is high, so this is going to rank up there as a useless app. Most people who own macs own ipods, iphones and ipads....

Exactly, I can't see many Apple users taking up Microsofts kind offer. To little to late me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 And a lot of the business world who rely on MS Exchange are Blackberry users now, with Push. These are the only ones I can see MS taking any users from - and possibly Nokia who've lost their way a little of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the only ones I can see MS taking any users from - and possibly Nokia who've lost their way a little of late. iphone and android natively support activesync, so no need for an app anyway. I'd sort of hope a winmo has it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 They do indeed. But, isn't Blackberry a major corporate phone, rolled out with companies? Most people I know who have BB's have them as a company phone - and most of them hate them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 No, they're crap Agreed - from everything I've read. Android is where it's at for the moment, especially with Android 3 due in Q1 2011 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Has anybody in here got one of these bad boys? Quick Q for you, are the win7mo devices ipv6 capable?
