@Yeah!: Again, it's clear that you've got your mind made up, so this isn't really an argument as much as it is a fallacy.

@Yeah!: It is a matter of taste. Some people love it, some people hate it. It is a functional design, though, and not made that way simply for the looks.

@ddhboy: The advertisements will come. The unveil is October 11, but it'll be a while before all carriers in all countries get a WP7 handset. The ads will have been running for weeks by the time people are able to get the hands on the devices. It'll be fine. When that happens, I'll eagerly wait for the next reason why…

@triggerx: PocketNow has a series of videos on pretty much every aspect of the OS available in the prototypes, including the phone and text message functionality.

Man, Nokia is one litigious company. Though being that they basically pioneered consumer mobile phones, I'm sure they've gathered quite a few patents that would be hard to not infringe upon if you were in the cell phone business.

@dtptampa: They did. The chart looks so nice with that arrow pointing to HTC though!

Mine is absolutely in that chart. Bravo.

@NorwoodIsMyHero: I fucking loved that movie! Saw it like 15 times when I was a kid.

@Squalor: And of course, they'll both be using perfect grammar, sipping tea and being wonderfully courteous to each other.

@ninjikiran: At least using current networking technologies, we're still constrained by the speed of light in fiber-optic lines. I think there will always be latency, but when our bandwidth concerns disappear, at least we'll be able to stream the feed uncompressed, negating the quality setback that it exhibits today.

I tried a couple of demos last night using WiFi on my MacBook Pro. I am completely amazed that it wasn't a shit experience. There's just enough lag for it to be noticeable, which makes it less than optimal for FPS games (interestingly, Unreal Tournament III, a twitch-gameplay FPS, is one of their titles), and the…

@blyan-reloaded: The 'round home button' on the bottom isn't a button, let alone a home button. It's an optical trackpad.

@trollinforanominalfee: Only that it's not a button... it's an optical trackpad...

@blyan-reloaded: I've got my iPhone in front of me and I'm looking at the Legend and I honestly don't know WTF you're talking about. You mean it's like an iPhone because it has a full-touchscreen, a speaker on top and buttons on the bottom?

The Legend is such a beautiful handset. HTC is capable of making phones into pure sex, yet they keep rehashing that ugly Nexus One/Desire chassis. I'd love a WP7 device that looked like the Legend.

I can't imagine printing from your iPod is something you'd be doing often, if at all. Truth is, the iPod Touch is pretty feature-complete, which is why there is no competition for it.

@thunaman: Hilarity abounds.

@CodeJanitor: The latter.
