Default Why do they sell such a phone

Hi All

Trophy looks nice and fast

But why is it to us with a GPS function if we can not use it,
Why should we have to wait so long for every small update and dream of small thing to happen like copy and paste

I have got the copy & paste, that was after waiting 6 month,
I hope we don't have to wait another year to have a normal working GPS program on this win7

WHy are you buying a device without reading on it first ? Does it have the apps I require, are the hardware requirements what I need, will it have enough bugs so I can whine about it ?

Plenty of good GPS apps out there, even turn-by-turn ones, have you even checked the Market lately ?

WP7 is very new still if you want something more advanced swap it for Android until WP7 has matured

The OS is indeed amazingly lame. I recently bought a trophy because I thought they would have worked out the kinks by now,but it's like they took everything out,came back and tried to sell it back to the consumer. Now I have to hand MS all my contacts,files and music collection so they can make me pay to stream and sync it. We've always known about skydrive,groove,Facebook etc. Some of us don't give a damn about those things, there's no point in force feeding products to the public.

Do your research before you buy a phone... It's not like iOS or Android were perfect the day it came out (not that any OS will become perfect anyway). OS's take time to mature, and you just have to be patient.

you're absolutely right,of course in the case of wp7 the os has regressed to the point that the device resembles wm2002. Hopefully they won't monetize the process of bringing it back to the present.

The next update looks very good. And the speed its advancing is faster than iOS did. Remember iOS didn't even have copy and paste either lol
