adix, 14 Apr 2011Without Whatsapp support, WP7 will not get the support by c... moreagree,, its very logic. Nokia has bundling business with Whatsapp in indonesia, they appeared on the same advertise together. so when Nokia-WP7 hit the market on this end of year, i will not b surprised when Whatsapp already built in all new handsets of Nokia-WP7 they sell.. :D

        Since windows phone 7 came out I knew that something great will happen sooner than later. There are one thousand and one thing cell phone user don't talk about and they are flexibility, integration with other systems and the rest.

        With all these coming, I know that the apps are going to be populated faster than we ever thought.

        With windows phone 7 having the same specs as the Samsung GSII, I think it will be wonderful.

            AnonD-291, 14 Apr 2011"android was way behind WP7 at their early age in term... moreWell I agree with you, it was totally different scenario. However this is just marketing issues, MS have two options, either they launched WP7 with full feature on time and sacrifice user experience or they launched WP7 with standard feature which need later update but proven, smooth, touchscreen experience. And MS choose the second option, which I think the right choice based on developers feedback, media review.
            Of course the first update was a little problem,but this things not only happened with MS, I have onyx and have been waiting forever to get official os6 update.
            So again I give MS thumbs up for their innovation in Metro UI, the way they response to developers and users, how they communicate to media so we slightest idea of what their next move is. Way to go MS

                  I have owned the HTC Surround. Great phone. I think the WP7 OS is great. Way better that IOS. IOS is boring. I think WP7 has Great potential but still primitive for my use. I am now with the Atrix. Android is still my first choice.

                        Android is not good, the interface looks bacwards, and remember WP OS is not released yet, is like Windows 7, every one was talking trash about it, and now is the best OS never made it by Microsoft, not, Linux, not Apple can catch that. And the windows phones was the best selling phones of all time, Adroid have the lead for now, there's no real competition, but, experts are already talking, let wait...

                        And remember Microsoft is looking for Hardware partners, and If Nokia do phones ONLY for WP7 we will see ned Apple Like devices,....thats why iPhones are so stables in hardware, they are specially designed to work with iOS

                              IOS and WP7 fanboys keep insulting Android about their web browsing not smooth as them but believe me, once Galaxy S 2 release it will let them know what does "web browsing" means...at least the clip from gsmaren (LG Optimus 2X vs Galaxy S 2) shown us..not to mention it still 1ghz during the demonstration..So if you want to compare, take the best one.

                                  Is like Linux, I don't care how much crappy free software have, I will use more often Microsoft Office than OpenOffice and I will use more name software like, Adobe, Autodesk, and so on than useless free alternatives.

                                  If you want to use something and you can pay for it do it, but don't trie to make me thing an Hyundai is better than BMW. And believe or not, the +80% of the software around is running under Windows OS.

                                  That's why Microsoft is so powerful. Not Linux, not Apple OS, and some time ago Windows Mobile was the KING of the Mobile OS, and I'm a believer this going to happen again.

                                  I'm not a Microsoft fan, but I can realize what's good and what's not, and Android is good, NOT great, iOS is good but NOT great, BB is'n good and great, Symbian is outdated. Let's see how good is WP OS.

                                      That's why I see a lots of benefits between Nokia and WP7, since Microsoft is looking for someone that makes hardware specially designated for work on their OS. Specific one company that will no give "their back" to Windows OS for other like Android. And Nokia has a very big part in phone marketing.

                                      For other part, Nokia will work with a Major OS company maker like Microsoft and receive new technology by the way for their phones. And grow in reputation.

                                      Believe me Symbian is only for low end phones, I see a bright future on Windows Mobile, maybe they will releas Windows 8 Mobile at hand to hand with new Nokia phone releases. No one never knows.
