Default [Q] Windows Phone Challenge

Anyone thinking about trying to face off against them with the skyrocket? or are our phones just not good enough.

Lumina is kinda baller in a hardware standpoint... The obvious lack of Android is what kills me

The way wp7 is integrated I doubt you will win. I gave my daughter my old Samsung Focus and it's smooth and fast. I like both OS's for sure but I'm sure the windows booth will have the phone setup for easy access via the tiles. If you do the challenge, let us know how it goes

Pretty sure this is over, but most android phones can beat it. You just have to be ready, practice and set up your phone beforehand.

Its funny, windows mobile started it all, but when the iPhone and android iOS hit. Windows got knocked out and basically have to start out green. If only they would of stuck with windows mobile 6.5....

There were several different types of tests and all were geared towards WP7's strengths.
It was an advertising campaign, so I would expect them to do well against most devices.

It was not a test of hardware, it was a test of software and integration.
Something MS did very well with regards to WP7.

And sorry, WP7 does do social integration better than Android.
I own devices running iOS, WP7 and Android and WP7 has the social part nailed down.
Sure, you can find third party solutions for Android, but that's not the point of these tests.
