Great Phone on a Great Platform

The design is slick but not cheap. The display technology provides great output on a mobile phone. The lack of a front facing LED is bothersome but a small issue that is a small detraction from what is a very beautiful and powerful device.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: no front facing led
I would recommend this to a friend!

So Far

I Just bought the phone yesterday and downloaded a nice chunk of the apps from the Windows Marketplace and all of them ruun well and I haven't run into any problems. My only annoyance with the phone is the interface with the microsd card, or the lack there of. Other than that there is nothing about the phone that would give me pause.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

WP7 Rocks!!
on November 29, 2010
Posted by: GrizzlyD

Windows Phone 7 is fantastic!! The OS is great, the Hardware is my only con, and it's not a major one. It seems as though the hardware was a tad rushed to market with an inconsistent message from Samsung and AT&T regarding the microsd slot. We need to have a hardware compatibility list for microsd cards so we can start using them. Also, the charger that comes with this device appears to be a little underpowered as it takes entirely too long to recharge the device. Aside from that this phone is rocking fast and the colors are beautiful. Netflix app works awesome on this phone!!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, windows phone 7
Cons: inconsistent message re: microsd slot, charger not powerful enough to quick charge
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worth the Wait

I'd been using an HTC Windows Mobile 6.1 phone for years and wished it had the features of some of the newer smart-phones but needed the Exchange based email support for work. Finally Samsung and Microsoft came out with this Windows Phone 7 model and it renewed my confidence in their ability to produce a winner. The LED screen is incredible and the OS/CPU is fast. I especially like the seamless integration of consumer and business apps and functions. This phone is a keeper for anyone that has to work for a living but enjoys a great personal experience the rest of the time.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, battery life
Cons: volume button in wrong place wrt on/off button.
I would recommend this to a friend!
