Windows Phone 7 Event

[Darkseider]

OK. I have been following the launch event and all I can say is this thing is disappointing. Does MS REALLY think they have a shot? To sum it up I will copy a post that someone at engadget already put up.

Windows Phone 7:

No system-wide file manager
No Tethering
No videocalling
Limited third-party apps
No Bluetooth file transfers
No USB mass storage mode
No memory card support
No multitasking
No copy paste
Too dependent on Zune software for computer file management and syncing
No music player equalisers
No Flash or Silverlight support in the web browser
No sign of free Bing maps Navigation so far
No DivX/XviD video support
No Fast app switching
No 16GB phones
Not Free and Open

In essence what you are looking at it Kin 2 with slightly nicer hardware and SOME apps in a market. This OS as well as its' design and feature list is beyond lacking. No ability for SD Cards at all. All media, except for .mp3s are MS-centric codecs (WMA, WMV, etc...) Just pathetic. Looks like MS just launched it's next big mobile failure! Wonder how much Steve Ballmer's bonus will be cut next year after WP7 flops?

AT&T will get it. Figures.

AT&T can keep it. Honestly, I'd be content if VZW becomes THE service for Android OS.

Yeah, it looked to me if the iPhone was going to Verizon, AT&T would jump at the chance to have something to call their own.
