joe, 07 Nov 2010Samsung with Windows Mobile 7 has a card slot for memory up... moreHave you red the the requirements for a WP& device which Microsoft put in place so quality devices was assured:- Capacitive, 4-point multi-touch screen with WVGA (800x480) resolution
1 GHz ARM v7 "Cortex/Scorpion" or better processor
DirectX9 rendering-capable GPU
256MB of RAM with at least 8GB of Flash memory
Accelerometer with compass, ambient light sensor, proximity sensor and Assisted GPS
5-megapixel camera with an LED flash
FM radio tuner
6 dedicated hardware buttons - back, Start, search, camera, power/sleep and Volume Up and Down.
No where does it say it must have removable storage! but if ur not thick you would no that the Micro SD slot is hidden beneath the lower part of the back so u saddos who want 400 dvds on ur PHONE can expand to 32gb why!!!

joe, 07 Nov 2010Samsung with Windows Mobile 7 has a card slot for memory up... morethe one thing i dont understand is what you need a 32 gb memory card for? to watch movies or do you have that much music that you need such a big memory card? because everybody knows thta any smartphone that being samsumg, htc, lg etc. does not have the battery power to watch multiple movies or is able to withstand 24 hours while listening to music. and when it comes to speed and performance, the bigger memory doesnt exactly help. htc doesnt fail because it has a 10000x better touch screen than any samsung.

I just watched like 20vids on youtube on how you can customize your phone, make it your own bla, bla ,bla. BUT, not one of the vids showed me how to customize your desk top! how to take the icons of the screen and place your own picture as your background WITH OUT cropping. If you buy a laptop and you hate clutter ! you should be able to remove things and, just open files when you are ready to view them.i should be able to do it with a phone 2. Can any body tell me anything about the wall paper settings? I want to see a picture of my new 6month old baby on my screen , not just the feet or the head! The only phone I know that works with out cropping is the iphone4

Alex, 05 Nov 2010I like what I see, but I won't buy for what I miss. I will... morei beg of you guyz' pleas go to windows or the manufacturers website and readup on the specks, WP7 will have SilverLight, and as for internal memory that BS now because with silver-light all you need a good 3 or better 4G, WiFi connection, a PC at home running Win7 or winHome sever and you can stream your own movies and music, I have a 12Tb sever at home" a phone will never have that amount of space and they dont need to ;-)

tictactaylor, 05 Nov 2010Wallpaper on lock screen? Reminds me of limo as on samsung... moreIve had a go of this in o2 shop but i have same concerns as you have put and others.It seems like its no really a videp player or music player,due to copy/paste issues it does not seem to be aimed at buisnees users and its quite locked in..
If someone asks me as i am the geek in my area of mates etc i could not say much about windows 7,,i mean how could i reccomend it wen most people want
mms,music,vids ,twitter.,facebook etc
These are the NORMAL person in the street not a geek like most of us on gsmarena who are mobile obssessives.The only platform i could reccomend in the street is s/e a200 platform,i certainly could not let the buy symbian/windows7/windows 6.1or6.5/or go rooting and setting up Android.Stuff Apple sick to death of it everywhere even smartfone essentials mag the lot.

Marco, 05 Nov 2010Nobody appreciates on-board 8GB of memory... Android phones... moreMy galaxy s has 8Gb of memory, ok not for applications totally yet. But I understand the memory module is sealed in this device, and warranty void if changed. Ok so you have your music, video etc on micro sd cards you transfer this to your pc, and sync it correct? No mass storage mode, so can you transfer it and if so how long does it take, say your video file is 500mb not unusual these days, is it possible in reasonable time? This phone looks great just worried about lack of a card slot and being locked into zune, an unknown to me.

Marco, 05 Nov 2010Nobody appreciates on-board 8GB of memory... Android phones... moreeven if there is the same amount of RAM internally as on the memory card there is a huge diffrence: 1st case scenario - u need to sync with a PC when you want to switch big content e.g. add navigation maps instead of your song collection, or u want to see some movies. If you have 3 microSD cards, u could do that by only switching among them on the road. Huge difference

I like what I see, but I won't buy for what I miss.
I will never buy a WP7 phone until it has:
1.Memory Card
2.Flash/Silverlight support in web browser
3.Copy/Paste
4.File manager
5.DivX support
(they dont need to be in the OS, could be 3rd party solutions but they are a must for being available in there)
also - whish list:
1.Internet tethering
2.USB mass storage mode
3.Decent navigation solution (iGo, Route66, whatever)
4.Selective multitasking - at least designated applications should be able to run in the background (like 3rd party alarm software, messenger, navigation, resource meter, etc)
5.lots of 3rd party apps.

tictactaylor, 05 Nov 2010Wallpaper on lock screen? Reminds me of limo as on samsung... moreNobody appreciates on-board 8GB of memory... Android phones have 150MB of it on average! Anyway, you can replace internal microSD card with card of your choice up to 32GB. And OS doesn't differentiate internal/external memory, no need to copy files/move apps from internal to external memory.

Anonymous, 04 Nov 2010Everything you say about symbian is theory, when it comes t... moreAlthough not the correct place to discuss symbian, totally agree with your response. N8 which I own is I feel under powered. Play need for speed and it shows. Then go play it on galaxy s. The hd7 has a decent processor. I do believe that windows 7 mobile is better than symbian but still think it's got a long way to convince me it's an android competitor. Still time will tell.
