Well I can safely say that this is the first windows phone 7 post on this forum :P Really like this phone!!!!!
Well I've had my Samsung Omnia 7 for 3 and a half hours now and I really really like it :)
Just installed a virtual Windows Media Centre remote on my phone. Much awesomeness!
I'm amazed that some sites are still slagging WinPho7 off :confused: It lacks multitasking which is annoying I admit, but they're sorting that out soon but other than that and a few other small problems there's not a whole lot wrong with it.
I've just bought my eldest son an Ipod touch 4G, he's always wanted one but I never thought I'd be impressed enough to get him one. Its basically an Iphone 4 without the phone capability. Good value Imo and a really neat gadget. Im really impressed by the HD video recording and that stunning screen resolution and looking forwards to trying out its GPS capabilities for when we next go Geo-caching.
I'm considering proposing marriage to mine. We've happily spent every day together since I got it a few weeks ago. We haven't even had our first fight. Amazing little device! And BTW, you can use it as a phone. There are a couple of apps that allow you to use it as a phone if you're within WiFi range (Skype probably being the most popular). And the Peel accessory allows it to be used as a 3G phone. Verizon also has some sort of service that allows it to be used as a WiFi phone. I think it's called MiFi service. It's some sort of portable Hot Spot service that I don't know much about... YET! :)Quote:

Unfortunately I'd have to jailbreak the Ipod which would invalidate the warranty.Quote:

Thanks for the heads up!
The thing is Microsoft will do it in a matter of months and I won't have to pay nada for the update. If it were Apple you'd be buying a new phone or at least paying for the update.Quote:

If you actually tried a WinPho7 device you'd see just how good it is even if the full featureset isn't there yet.
Seriously, stop being a biased little Apple fanboi and try one out and appreciate the intelligent/forward thinking design of the UI
Why would he want to ruin a walk through perfectly good scenery? :pQuote:
