Anyone excited for windows phone 7?

Having used Windows Mobile since 2003 I got fed up with 6.0 and ulitimately 6.5.

It was never stable and the handsets never had enough grunt for the OS.
I ditched WM and went to Android and frankly I feel it's a much better OS.

I have no doubt WM7 will not live up to the hype and will be no different from 6.x

Have you actually read or seen anything about windows phone 7?:p

It's a bit like saying Windows Vista/7 is rubbish because Windows ME was poor...:p
 
After my problems with IOS4.0 on the 3G I am itching to see if W7 is everything I am hoping for. Also waiting to see how the Desire HD turns out.
 
I shall be keeping an eye on what Cortella and Da_G come up with (with regards to the HD2). If they do actually manage to get the WP7 RTM and get it working, then I will have a play and see what I think of it. If it turns out to be pap, then I shall be looking to either stay with a Dual Boot WM6.5/Droid or perhapes move to a NAND Droid rom (if they ever manage to get one working).

After that, a full move to droid.

I have been reading some good reviews, but I am personally just not feeling it.
 
yes that demo does look good and i'm pretty sure nothing will beat windows phone 7 in not only it's gaming capability but it's integration of a game service+community aspects (a.k.a xbox live mobile).

It's practically a xbox handheld but classed as a mobile platform instead,3ds and psp2 watch out :p
 
Just saw this preview of the graphics/game potential on it, very impressive

Looks great! Though it's a very long video for basically a couple of scenes! I wonder how they'll get that sort of tech to translate into a decent and playable game! WP7 has a lot of promise, and the more I see and hear, the more of a buzz I'm feeling about it, but I do still want to see it in the flesh.

And, for those who are going to base their impression of WP7 on the previous Windows Mobile operating systems, I wonder if their impressions are of them as felxible and capable operating systems (which they were), or just the usability and interfaces, which quickly showed their age and didn't really keep up with recent developments?
 
Epic Citadel on the iPhone is a very powerful demonstration of the capability of modern phones. Certainly worth a look.
 
does anyone know if the htc hd2 will be upgraded to wp7 from 6.5?it has all the system requirement's and as it's been out in the market awhile it's within my price range at second hand rates.
 
Yes and no... Depends who you ask...

It may be ported unofficially though, just like Android has been ported to the HD and HD2.

Some pretty epic graphics there. I will miss SPB air island though, that's an epic game, just a shame it will only be on WM6.

I did contemplate making a couple of simple apps for Win Pho but I'm guessing for someone with no coding experience it could be quite difficult (purely WinPho because I doubt they have that app yet).
 
Not quite. You run Android from Windows, not sure quite how it works but it's apparently just as fast as the Desire etc.

Haven't done it on my HD yet (not going to be as fast as the HD) as I need to install linux somewhere to format my SD card so Android will run.
 
I really hope it is good. On paper it sounds great, i just hope they deliver. Only ever had one windoes mobile before (At the time i said never again)

But i will deffo be having a play with this to see how it compares to other mobile OS's
