If it would be a direct drive turntable, not a belt drive one, I'd install those in the club of a friend of mine. for those dj's that still spin vinyl. would look gorgeous.

I just hope it'll sync my addin settings sometimes soon. it's quite annoying with complex addons to redo all the settings.

he didn't forget it at a bar, at least.

or both.

same was true for most with the iphone at the beginning. it's mostly a getting used to it. android is sort of a mix between iphone and windows mobile 6 in terms of how to use => nothing new.

not on the same hardware, no. it needs much higher performing hardware to get even close to the performance of wp7. tells something about the quality of the software behind it.

i want a phone that serves me well. android doesn't, iphone doesn't, wm6.1 did only after tons of tweaks (same applies to android for me).

i use the navigon select app, works quite fine.

as i don't see android as the (technical) leader, my point does make sense. but might have neeeded some /sarcasm, or /irony or such tag.

it's the main color of the phone. in my case, that would mean orange, as that's my choice (awesome on an oled. black-orange).

well, you could download the devtools, they're free. the emulator is in there. you'd need an unlocked image, then, to get access to it's functionality (the emulator by default only shows the own developing apps + ie for webpages).

to really try out, you should have one some days, and log in with your personal accounts, and get all your personal data and actually use that data (f.e. organizing your contacts, it was my first 'wow, never been that great on a phone' moments).

you say that to android, right?

it's a great product. you not trusting, that's an issue you have to solve.

all windows phones are the same, except some extra apps per manufacturer/provider. no differences otherwise. you can switch devices, providers, it'll all just stay the same.

guess you should get android, if you want to tweak around like hell.

it'll have a unified login, it already has (your windows live account). it doesn't do much yet on the desktop (but does with the windows live suite). it'll do much more in windows 8.

it's so far the smartphone that casual users got used to the fastest (and without the apple-is-cool-bonus the iphone has, it's the only smartphone that casual users actually got interested, wanted to take out of my hands actually).

consider that text has different shapes and sizes in other languages, and depending on the context (different people have short or long names, etc).

indeed. it's an amazing experience to just log in to windows live and all just pops in. it's really well done.
