I have no doubt Android will be successful. That does not mean wp would not be successful. Windows is successful, so are OSX and Linux, each in their own spaces. iPhone is successful despite a sub-30 market share.

So apparently you are not as big a supporter for video evidence as you claim after all. :) And if as you claimed, the performance difference is due to "Motorola has completely revamped their skin", then you would agree that it's the software rather than hardware that matters, no? If you don't...

How do you that Apple and Google didn't have to pay game developers? I don't think things are good for the platform either, nor should it be 1 year into the a very competitive market. However, that doesn't mean things won't be good for the platform in the future. Android was hardly successful...

So we are suppose to believe you based on your words? I have a better idea. "I'm anxiously awaiting your video. I'm a huge supporter of video evidence. "

Can't you do that with Airplane mode? My phone never makes a beep (other than alarm clocks) since I don't have data connection and wifi is disconnected as soon as the phone goes into sleep.

A smarter deal is to get what's best for stockholders rather than a very small number of customers. Companies don't do thing unless there's a dollar sign associated with it. They may be short sighted, but I am fairly sure they are laughing with money in the bank rather than risking footing the...

Quantum C900B Firmware revision No: 1.0.8.10 Radio software version: 1.0.8.10.

Just so you know, Atrix 2 performances very similarly to Atrix. Atrix 2 actually has slightly lower Quadrant scores. so I can't help but wonder, do you really know what you are talking about?

Would it even work for Quantum?

Because Nokia probably pays them?

A great man once said "Reading is fundamental." so which part of "No contract" didn't you understand? Or did you read "No" backwards? I actually never noticed that "No" backwards is "On". :D ---------- Post added at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ---------- You are...

Could you let me know which $80 (no contract) Android phone performs as well as my LG Quantum? I would be very interested in getting one.

Interesting video from Slashgear. Some people say they are bias, so read with a grain of salt. http://www.slashgear.com/nokia-lumia-800-vs-iphone-4s-vs-galaxy-sii-browser-showdown-27191414/

Actually, I think Microsoft cares very much. They know PC is dying and smartphone will need to be a major revenue driver. They are actually investing very heavily into Windows Phone development. It's hard to tell whether wp7 is a major fail in terms of sales. I suspect it's doing better than...

I never said it's out of order, I simply said you could have it if you wanted it so much. If bigger storage is not worth importing it (probably cheaper anyway) or figuring out whether it works with your carrier, then don't do it. Just don't mislead people that we don't have a choice. It's simply...

So you will need to click three times to go from ring to silent? Not to mention you will have to remember which comes after which. How is that any easier than click setting->ringtone->vibrate? If you have to have 4 options, then either have two buttons (ring/silent, vibrate on/off) or have a...

First of all, that's not true. It's also available in Canada via Rogers if I am not mistaken. Regardless, I am fairly sure Focus will work in many countries and on various GSM carriers. It's just a matter of buying it and unlocking it. The real question is whether you like wp7 or not. If...

And they do have a choice, it's called Focus or Focus S.

Other than customization and certain functionality, I have no complaint about the WP7's performance and I don't see much complaint from others either. iphone's second generation device (3G) was not more powerful than their first generation device. Iphone 4 was also not significantly faster...

I actually think it's very important that MS kept the Windows name. Next year, we will have Windows 8 on PC, Windows 8 Metro on ARM and WP8 on phones. It creates a uniformed platform for developers and consumers.

Unless it's below $100 contract free, then no. I will wait for WP8 and even then wouldn't get a new phone if my Quantum can be upgraded to wp8. wp7 is very smooth on 1G processor, I see little reason to move to better hardware. Maybe switch to focus if it's a equal trade.

I am not saying it's worse, I am saying it's a different compromise and not necessarily a better compromise. Personally, I prefer ring and vibrate, which is not even supported in your solution unless you have a 4 choices option. My preferred solution is to open up the APIs to developers and...

Would this apply to LG Quantum (7Q) as well?

Comparing to wp7.0, Mango is a definitely a huge improvement for me. Comparing to other competitors, it's different enough to be a viable option. It's suppose to be boring and does what it does. I think iOS is equally boring, probably more so with less integration, but it does have more apps...

It would not be a good business move if it does not sell. So far, there's nothing about the phone that stands out other than the body, which was available with N9. I do appreciate that they actually went through the trouble of removing the front facing camera from the N9 chassis. A lazier...

That's two clicks to go from ring to silent, not one. Right now, for people who don't need vibrate, it can be done in one click. You also can't go from vibrate to ring in one click. Right now, for people who don't need silent, it can also be done in one click. So basically you are punishing...

As she already discovered, you can set it in settings. I don't see why it's tedious. If you do have more choices, it wouldn't be an one click switch. As far as I can tell, my Android phone does exactly the same thing.

The instructions are on the howto section of the official windowsphone.com http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-US/howto/wp7/music/create-a-playlist.aspx ---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ---------- Of course you can. Just click the shuffle button.

I seems to have lost all the stock wallpapers from Mango (e.g. the blow fish etc...). Anybody knows how to get those back? I did a reset, but only got those pictures with numbers back, still no wallpaper album.

Good for you. Android, I presume? Usually when people say they want things done in the way they want, wp7 may not be a right fit. IMHO, wp7 is all about getting things done in the way Microsoft thinks is the best. It provides a consistent and smooth user experience, which is probably fine for...

Price, can't be more than $100 with no contract. And of course, significantly better than my LG Quantum, otherwise I have no reason to upgrade.

Who cares? Patents are hard to comprehend even by highly paid lawyer, do you guys think a couple of forum posts will settle who owns what? Let's the courts sort it out. Nothing is well known. And even if it was well known, it may not stand in court. Even if it did stand in court, companies...

Wow, people really have a lot of musics. Each mp3 file is 4M big, 32G would be 8000 songs. I still have 12.79G left on my Quantum. :p. If they had 8G Quantum for $40, I probably would have gone for that one. :D

And Google didn't have a huge Google reputation? Yet Android still struggled for about two years. Android was first released in 2007 and by Q2 2009, it had 2.8% of the world wide market share. Comscore put Android at 9% of US market share in early 2010. It was really Droid that really sparked...

I doubt Android's dominance will wane as long as Microsoft and Apple stick with their rigid design, unless of course it's brought down by a lawsuit. There are just so many choices. Having said that, wp7 and iOS are rigid and "limited" for very good reasons. It provides a uniformed experience...

Unless is a mid-range android phone drops below $100 (without contract), I probably won't touch it. Unless there's a business need for a smartphone, I don't see why I would spend more than $100 on a toy. Same goes for wp7 and iOS. ---------- Post added at 03:13 AM ---------- Previous post was...

I moved from an LG Optimus One running Froyo to an Optimus Quantum running mango. It certainly get some getting used to, but in the end, I wouldn't say I necessarily regret the decision. Android and Windows Phone 7 have somewhat different design philosophies. If you want to do everything the...

Then why are you in this thread? You have all said it, it's not worth the price for you. Fine, we all know that now. I don't think a Rolls Royce is worth its price either, but some people consider its price to be in impulse buy territory. If all the people who are not going to buy it have...

Then don't buy it. I am not. Standalone GPSs are cheap these days (might be slightly more expensive in Europe like everything else, don't understand why). Plus, I don't see the point of exposing your expensive phone to direct sunlight in a bouncing vehicle anyway. Can't be good for the...

Then don't use a wp7 phone, move to the platform you want. Isn't it that simple? I heard iphone 3GS is free on contract somewhere, definitely beat a $80 wp7 phone, don't you think? :)

I wonder this kind of back and forth happen on the Android and iphone forums as well. IMHO, Android, iOS and WP7 have completely different design philosophies and it shows in the final product. Therefore, choosing between them shouldn't be all that hard. You want customization, get Android. You...

That's funny. How come the phone I bought doesn't even have a monthly plan associated with it (let along a contract). I am paying 30cents per minute with it right now. It's locked to Bell though, but I unlocked mine for $2.99. So I apologize for the misleading information, the total price is...

Given the price I got my LG Quantum for, I don't think they sold a lot when it came out. At $80 though, it's a steal.

Another big factor is the price. An iPhone 3gs is selling for $375 whereas you can get a LG Quantum for $80 with specs closer to iphone4. I think it's a no brainier between the two. Also, you know what's the best phone for me? Nokia N95 8GB (until it malfunctioned that is). Why? It got a great...

I just moved from a LG Optimus One running Android 2.2 to a LG Quantum running wp7.5 Mango. Initially I was blown away by the smoothness of WP7 (granted, the Quantum does have better specs). However, after about a week, I start to miss my Optimus One terribly. There's no background wallpaper...
