The Aspen is the uglyest and most stup*d phone SE has ever made!
WM 6.5 with a touch 2.4'' 320x240 screen?

If this is true I bet that you will hate Windows Phone 7 (this is only a rumor  )

 At the Mobile World Congress event on February 15th, 2010, Windows Phone 7 will be unveilved, although at this time plans are only to unveil the user interface of the new platform . Specific indepth functionality of the device will most likely not be shown.


-The User Interface is based upon codename “METRO”. It will be very similar to the Zune HD User Interface with a complete revamp of the “Start” screen. The UI is “Very Clean”, “Soulful” and “Alive”

-Unfortunately there will be no Flash support at the get go as there was not enough time to implement these features.

-Windows Phone 7 will only support application installation through service based delivery. (i.e Marketplace). Application installation via storage card will not be possible.

- No Multi-Task support. Applications will “Pause” when in the background, however will support notifications via push notifications.

-Marketplace will now support “try before you buy” as well as an API

-No NETCF backwards compatibility. This means the original rumor of no backward compatibility for applications holds to be true. That being said, there are high hopes of porting the NetCF to the newer platform easily.

-Microsoft is confident that devices will be ready by September 2010

-Full Zune Integration

-Windows Mobile Device Center will no longer be used. Zune software to take over syncing via PC.

-OEM Interfaces will not be allowed to run on the device. Say goodbye to Sense UI / SPB Mobile Shell / Point UI / Infinity, etc, etc

-Full XBOX Gaming Integration (Gamer tag, achievements, friends, avatars, merchandising, etc)

-Full support for social networking

life will be so boring without rumors

If this is true, as you said, I will hate it, and I'll stick with 6.5 for as long as I own my HD2.

[vegetaleb]

The advantage of the HD2 is that it's so big that you can serve coffee on it

Finally! The Zune-like interface looks awesome.

[vegetaleb]

2010 will have so great phones now that WM7 can compete with Android, but any words about using WM7 on actual 6.5 phones?

[djripster]

Watching all the videos of the WMC, i am pretty happy with the new interface and the updates to the OS... I dont know how it will survive in the iPhone dominated world, with Android closing its 2nd place gap very quickly, but WM7 has is that it looks different. I dont know if people will take to the new 'Zune' look, but i am sure the Windows PC fan base will like the WinMo changes...

So Welcome Windows Phone 7 series, I am looking forward to seeing what it will give us.

I was seriously considering buying a windows phone 7 but no multitasking!!!???...so someone please riddle me this... "Can I browse the Internet while listening to music on the phone?"

[vegetaleb]

Hey Phat^Trance any video of hitler commenting on WM 7 ?   

[usta]

It is not as "rosy" as it looks like...



There are bunch of things that are not certain with the new OS, like true multi-tasking, ability to get apps from elsewhere, removable storage, USB drive mode, support for old WM apps, Flash, etc...
