Poll: Favorite Short name for Windows Phone 7 Series

[fortunz]

I've been struggling with the mouthful that is Windows Phone 7 Series, and I've mostly been calling it 7 series. But it definitely needs a nickname. What do you think it should be called? I'll update the first post nightly with your contributions naming the first person to post a name as the contributor, and once the nominating dies down, I'll put up a poll.

Prime_Directive called it WinPho, which I think is a great name.

Others:
WiPh (the 'old ball and chain)
7 (plain and simple)
WinMo (because you just don't care what it's real name is)

Nominations:
Micro-phone -- cchr
M7 -- Wolveryne42
WinPhone -- gogol

The following names and those like them won't qualify for the poll for lack of differentiation from desktop windows. Names that are super long won't be in the nomination list, because this is for shortened names.

WOS7 -- madmax85812
WO(S) -- madmax85812
WinO(S) -- madmax85812

I was thinking the same thing. I'm so use to saying WinMo. I guess WinPho would be a good substitute.

 

[GuestK0081]

why dont we just call it Micro-phone?

 

[Wolveryne42]

How about just M7?

Its very quick to type.

 

[gorelshv]

just call it

7. it's that simple.

WinPhone (pronounced as winfon)

Windows Phone ...

Or I usually mention it as WM7, "WinMo 7" ... People will understand it, for sure.

It is "still" Windows Mobile

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. They can call it whatever they want and change it however they want, but it's still Windows Mobile as far as I'm concerned.

 

[swordfish2009]

why not W7?

 

[chribruu]

WP7 isn't very hard to write either, even though i'll probably write WP7s anyways.

 

[freakzone]

I like the most either WinMo7 or just Mo7

 

[Noonski]

W7 is already the Short for Windows 7.

I like the idea of going against Microsoft campaign to add phone to the name.

So i like to stick to WinMo 6.1, 6.5, 7 etc.

 

[DotheTP2]

How about just plain 7? but spell it se7en or seVen? I can't decide

 

[Fa7my]

How about just plain 7? but spell it se7en or seVen? I can't decide

That name is already taken by Windows 7 for PC (spelled se7en)
I think WinPho 7 is the best name of the nominees

 

[madmax85812]

hmmm

hey i gt a few:

1. "WOS7" (WOS-Seven) for "Windows OS 7" - pronounced "wo-seven/woseven"......which gets us to no.2 below...
2. "WO(S)even".....or evn shorter as below...
3. "WO(S)", pronounced "voss/vose" or sumthng lik that.
or my personal favs...
4. "WinO(S)", pronounced "vinos" or simply "venus"
5. "WinMO(S)", for "win mob O(S)even", pronounced "vinmoss/vinmose"
6. "WinPhoS", for "win pho seven" as in the above post from Fa7my, pronounced "vinfoss/vinfose"

Here are some derogatory names for those of us who don't like it.

Windows Phoney
WinFaux
iClone
Ballmer's biggest blunder

 

[solidkundi]

the UI is definitely Zune like....
Zeven
ZuneMobile
zMobile
zPhone

WinMo Touch --> because of the new ui that begs our fingers..rather than the stylus

 

[norcal colby]

how about just WM7 or WinMo 7.... isnt that how we have done if for WM5 WM6 WM6.1 WM6.5 WM6.5.x??? WM7 just looks right.. and it wont get confuzing... and you dont pronounce it in any funny way... just think windows mobile 7 when u look at WM7
