Just got a Windows 7 phone

What I really want out of a phone is something like a mini laptop i.e. works well with Office which I presume the Windows phone does. Also a fair amount of onboard storage and expandable by memory cards if possible!Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
Looks like the HD7 is having the same problem as the HD2.Originally posted by Jog On View PostI like the windows one and am glad I got it. It's randomly rebooted itself a couple of times but they never get these things right first time so I'm sure there will be some hotfixes to be released.
Here's a good video about HTC vs iPhone 4

I think tablets, laptops and phones will merge and the lines between them become increasingly blurred. I think a flexible screen that rolls out some how will allow you to carry a laptop in you pocket. or it might just be IPhone 10 with 20 MP camera and more memory,Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostAnyone care to speculate what a "phone" will look like in 10 years time?Comment

I had a dabble with one of these in the shop, the HTC HD one that o2 do and it seemed quite good. On my couple of mins play the only thing I couldn't find was = for use in Excel. So I think for me it is a straight race between a Windows 7 one and an iPhone 4Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

I've taken it back and swapped it for an HTC Desire
- Kept rebooting itself when trying to make outbound calls
- kept losing internet connection and having to be rebooted to establish a new connection
- Everything you need to do on a WP7 can be done on an android/iphone
- No apps yet! Not even a single FX one and I don't want to wait for one to come out. Plus my broker has an iphone app and is developing an android one but have no plans to make a WP7 version - so "fer that reason, Ahm oot!"
