New Windows Phone Poll

Captainkrtek · Oct 12, 2010

As Windows Phone 7 was launched today we wanted to put up a poll based on general perception of the device. If you could buy one today, money not being an issue, would you? We want to see whether Windows phone 7 has been received well by the community.
Cheers,
Steve & XDA News Staff

Wow first one to vote, maybe im just abit excited lol.
Omnia 7 is at the top of my list atm. GSMARENA has a good review of the device already (no idea how they got hold of it)

Im gonna hang on to my current device and by a WP7 phone when they start coming out with a second line of phones.

just bought my desire. WinMo 7 doesn't look too customizable, but only time will tell

Former long time windows mobile user, not impressed, Ill stick with my EVO for now.

Going to get a better Android phone I think... probably Samsung Epic 4G now or Evo (more than the WP7) ones now.

Once I see multiple calendar support, we'll talk. As for now: never.

Like a lot of people here, I have a HTC HD2 and am running WM6.5 and Android 2.2 on it. So, for me, I'll consider a WP7 device once my HD2 either dies (let's pray it never happens) or maybe in 6-12months when it's time for an upgrade.

Me too.... HD2 forever

Our beloved HD2s can run any OS so why switch to WP7 when the HD2 already runs it (Not public yet!)
The hardware in most (currently presented) WP7 devices is as good as our HD2's
So.. maybe I will buy one if the hardware is superior to the HD2's!!!

Looks great to me, especially the Dell Venue Pro.

Sure, why not. Every HTC phone that I have had was Windows. Why would I give up now? I have played with the HTC EVO running Android, and I do not like it. I prefer Windows. That is my own personal opinion and choice from experience, and somewhat from what I have spoken with other people who have Android phones from different manufactures, which I have personaly tried and played with for a while with each and every one of them.

I just prefer Windows over anything else.

davidgk · Oct 12, 2010

maybe and unsure is about the same.

im hoping it can be ported to the hd2. that'll save me some money

truffle1234 · Oct 12, 2010

for sure i will buy the WP7 phone HD7 i think... as i am HTC fan as well as WM.

HD2_addict · Oct 12, 2010

Not at this time. I love the interface. I just don't like the rest of the story. The system just locks you in. Perhaps if could be jailbroken, that would change things.

Grimeh · Oct 12, 2010

Well I got the HTC Desire on Android 2.2 and thus far I don't see anything I prefer in the Win 7 phones that would make me switch. If anything it has less functionality at present with no cut & paste, no tethering and no SD card. I do like some of the features though but will wait and see how they develop this, so for now it's a no.

kresky · Oct 12, 2010

I think Microsoft has missed a trick with the launch of WP7, by basing the OS entirely for phone devices. As with Android it can be used not only on phones but tablets as well and judging by how the community response to the Sammy Tab is high with enthusiasm i think MS should have looked further forward than just Windows 'Phone' 7 and evolved further ahead with appying its new OS to tablets as well, even if not making it available now but atleast showing a mock up to show its potential of being more than just a phone OS.

What?!? no cut & paste and no sd cards? where can I read up on WP7 features?

Also long time and big time WinMo fan, but I got the EVO and after rooting it, nothing can come close. Win7 simply went the way of iPhone, by locking everything down, so even if it weren't for the rooted EVO being so damned awesome and far above every other phone out there, I wouldn't get a Win7 phone out of iPhone-hatin' spite.
