HTC's September 1st event to feature only Windows Phone Mango devices: Eternity, Omega

How is CDMA dead? Global Roaming isn’t something most people look for when buying a phone. Verizon is easily the best carrier when it comes to data(grandfathered unlimited.) WP7 is the next webOS.

As the world shrinks, not having a phone that uses the global bands is a pain in the F’ning ass.  I am not buying a phone that I can’t pop in another SIM card in another country.  I suppose you would suggest buying two phones?  CDMA is a piece of trash as well as Verizon’s LTE which is CDMA ver. 2.0

Aaron,
Sounds like you need a little education on CDMA. Code Divison Multiple Access is superior in SOME ways than GSM. Being connected to more than one tower at a time and not having to hand off calls from tower to tower is one. CDMA is more expensive which is why GSM is the world “standard” it is cheaper and easier to deploy.

Second, Verizon’s LTE network is GSM and operates on the 700MHz spectrum. Verizon’s new LTE phones require a SIM card.

That would actually be QNX, you’ll see.

 CDMA can be good but why even bother when the rest of the world is GSM? It’s exactly what happened with the metric system

Uhm… the HTC Trophy with verizon has global roaming… so… wrong…?

Yep. I looked under my battery, and there it was. A Vodafone-branded sim card.

Sprint has Motorola Photon, a dual band (CDMA/GSM) phone. Dual band is the future not GSM.

Why so angry? I hope WP7 does well, but I’m not interested in it. I know that might be difficult for you to believe, but there it goes.

metro UI homescreen looks nice but for me, I think I will get bored of that very soon. Think about widgets, live wallpaper, different homescreens, themes, and now think about few tiles on the homescreen, change the color of the tiles and you are stuck with those tiles forever. I know those tiles look cool but the question is for how long?

The colors can get boring yes…. but as far as the homescreen itself I find myself starring at it some time because of all the information comming to it. See the updates from Groups/People/Me tile. But it my home screen very personalized with the pictures and updates.

The Metro interface exists for one reason: to mask the fact that Windows phone has no Apps. Microsoft had no choice but to devise a look-and-feel that would hide the platform’s lack of Apps. If a Windows Phone App Store (apologies to Apple) ever does achieve a critical mass of programs, this interface will get in the way of the user experience and fall by the wayside.

Oh, you mean all those things that make android devices suck battery?

Seriously, Android-peeps need to come off their “look, my phone can do everything” high horse. Phones don’t NEED to be like a PC. They need stability, battery life, good call quality and a reasonable selection of (real, working, useful) apps.

hdboy, wp7 has 30,000 apps in a matter of months. fastest growing app store ever.

enjoy your android malware.

I also like WP but I want the MS ends up being a patent troll. And withdraw lawsuits against B & N and Motorola.

microsoft must sue them for patent infringement.

Meh, Microsoft already owns my ass on the desktop/laptop platforms. Where an I going to turn: Linux? OSX? Why should I give them my phone business too when there are excellent alternatives.

I hope WP7 stimulates competition in the marketplace, but I’m staying with Android for now.

Um,

1. Nokia is making WP7 devices, that’s why he mentions them, and he’s not exactly “praising” them.
2. He says “this BB is killing me” which is the opposite of praise.
3. You sound like you’ve never used a WP7 device. Try it before you knock it as a “zune phone”. It’s much more than that.

You really just sound like you wanted to be argumentative.

I own a WP7 device and it 100% feels like a ZunePhone. The UI is clean but its execution is really poor. These are my opinions.

@twitter-133878082:disqus If you don’t want your “zune phone”, sell yours or give it to me. My wife wants one because of my Quantum.

Stop being a blogtroll.
