Nah it's not for me, I'll stay with Android.
Having a HTC Desire HD as a main phone. The only two phones I really would want to test is the HTC ChaCha and SE Xperia Mini Pro, both of them are 'droids.
Else I rather test different old school phones like the SE K850 (Even tough I don't really need more than one phone) perhaps getting me a SE Txt as a low-cost ChaCha. Or a Motorola K1 KRZR as I liked it, when I had one, back in 2007.
...and then my money is gone  |

Right but i'm really just keen to keep this topic about Windows Phone 7 and user experience regardless of what people think about WP7 its set to be a growing OS with Nokia and HTC both releasing WP7 smartphones.

Hi Julias, I actually like Windows Phone 7. I think it's a very competent entry from MS considering their horrible phone OSes in the past...
I have a short review of the HTC Mozart and I think for people that are on Windows machines, it's a very capable OS. Personally I still prefer Android, but that's also because I'm a techie.

I see a great future for Windows Phone 7, especially with the Mango update coming this year. I really like it and considering it for my next phone. The HTC HD7 is a great competitor on the smartphone market but I hope to see a multimedia oriented device running WP7

Don't get me wrong i love both iOS and Android but i'm always open to try something different and i actually WP7 and yes Mango will vastly improve the experience so can't wait for the update which is due sometime next month.

Played with a Trophy recently and I liked it, fast and smooth. Love to try something new, so I'll certainly buy a WP7 phone, but 'll probably wait for a few new models with Mango. I hope, WP7 will be succesful, because, having only two choices, OS-wise (even though there are several brands), would be boring.
I also hope, Nokia doesn't let MeeGo die, after only one phone, I still think, my N900 is one of the best phones I've ever had.

I know, but typing "only one phone", I meant the N9 as that's the only MeeGo phone available to the general public, my N900 is running on Maemo5 and the new N950 will be for developers only.

Why do I think Mango is interesting.
I keep looking at this OS.
Any user experience yet?

I have been using Windows Phone 7 for a couple of months now and initially i had preconceived reservations about the OS mostly due to the slow sales and tech media being biased towards iOS and Android.But all i will say is ignore the negative rubbish that people say about WP7 its nothing but a load of rubbish.
WP7 is nothing less than brilliant and i can see and understand now why the Behemoth of the mobile world Nokia has decided to adopt WP7.The OS is smooth,neat,clean and just works every time! The only thing it lacks is the 10 Billion Apps that Apple and Android keep screaming and shouting about but who really needs 10 Billion Apps? its nothing but clutter and lets face it the most Apps we will ever use is 20 at one time and the 30,000+ Apps WP7 does have covers the most of what the majority of us need.
I am definitely sticking with Windows phone 7 and i haven't even seen or used the Mango update which is due any day soon which will rock 500 new features.
All i will say is i thoroughly recommend it buy buy buy i love it!

I'm not impressed by numbers of apps. Most of them are fartmachines or worse.
I still have some time to upgrade and Mango (great name) has a good chance.

Will mango bring full flash support? I just hate using phones without flash support as I feel I'm moving backwards.I remember how I waited for nokias to support flash in symbian years ago so in this day and age I can't see myself going back.
I love the iphone4 but did not get one due to flash support.
As for the media and sales figures making windows 7 look bad I agree.microsofts marketing department needs to learn a trick or two from apple, the first iphones were not that good, actually crappy but apple still managed to convince the world that it was the best thing since sliced bread! That probably paid of a couple of influential tech journos also.

No i don't think it will bring flash support as Windows Phone 7 like iOS have adopted HTML 5. For anyone who has an iphone they will tell you that flash isn't strictly necessary but obviously in your case you actually need and want flash support so i can only recommend Android for you.

I have noticed that a lot of people think that Windows Phone 7 is like the old Windows Mobile so that's not so Windows Mobile was terrible and probably the worst Mobile OS ever created i think. Windows Mobile 7 has been completely been built brand new from the ground up and is nothing like WM so comparing the two is like chalk and cheese.
As bad as WM was WP7 is the complete polar opposite and is absolutely brilliant!
