Aside from throwing all originality out the window and blatantly copying the me too phone (which seems counter intuitive to me… if you look like an iphone, how will people know it’s a samsung?), their support for devices already released has been terrible. As much as I like this phone, I just can’t imagine actually purchasing it.

    Completely agreed - HTC dual-core all the way!!! :)

I really loved the fact that the wm os was customizable, I just hate it that wp7 will be the same in all handsets! You will never feel unique any more, and therefore I also think the best bet is android along with the new symbian^3.

              Cheers!

                HD2 form factor with WP7S, that's all you need to do HTC!!! It will be a massive success!

                      Windows 7 Home Screen is horable & if every windows phone will look like that then no more windows phone for me. The best thing about HTC is there skiming of Windows Phones & Android, if Windows Phone will no longer be skinable then HTC should say good buy windows, hello Android & Symbian.

                      Android & Symbian Yes please.

                            well as u ppl already know .. windows mobile 7 has no multitasking .. so i dont think its even possible to create a custom UI anyhow .. regardless of it being from HTC or SPB ..

                                There is no problem if microsoft say that HTC cant customize ui. They just create huge app that work like HTCsense. Problem solved.

                                      I really think it's going to hurt them with coming out so late. So many great droid phones will be out and possibly a new iphone. W7 is going to have to be earth shaking to steal those 2 momentum.

                                        Definitely the best windows mobile phone manufacturer! Looking forward to seeing how the new windows phone iteration will eventually look and feel.

                                        Hopefully it is up to scratch cause the market has moved on so much that Microsoft really is struggling in the mobile phone market. Would be nice if true multitasking and copy and makes it in the final version. Who knows, maybe after the last complaints from phone users Microsoft may change its mind.
