c'mon guys, we're right there

I realise the whole thing is kinda pointless... but what are the bets that Android/iPhone/every-other-OS users are voting WebOS?
but yeah would be pretty funky to see WP7 crowned King. My votes been counted anyway

Pretty high, they're jelly that their run-down boring OSes with only good apps to back them up didn't get anywhere.

Many people would argue that a mobile OS is only as good as the apps available to it. Accordingly, this "OS bowl" is rediculously flawed. The only way that WP7 winning would make any sense is if the primary criteria for voting was "most untapped potential"

Haha , the votes are only from the people who bought the phones. Sad.

That would totally explain the fact that android and iphone booth with definitively higher market shares got raped. I mean it wasnt even a close game for either. It's all about OS... WP7 is in my opinion the best OS apps aside, in a business user though I could see palm being the best. Android and iphone have all the app backing in the world but this isn't a "Who has the best developer support bowl." It's an OS bowl and the top two teams are there accordingly.

Not nearly as sad as your stalking and trolling - do you even have a WP7?

I think his initial excuse was "I'm considering getting one." Followed by a 3 page list going on about the few features that have yet to been included.

It'll probably be at least 5 years til we know the top three

Windows Phone Series 7

Just noticed this site came up, after waiting for info for a while.
It feels disappointing
windowsphone7series dot com
How disappointing ?
As disappointing as WM6.5 ?
As disappointing as Win7 ? Vista ? Zune ?
It can't be as disappointing as ME !
Perhaps there's a pattern emerging here, much the same as the Microsoft stock price over the last 10 years (-45%)
What's the bets Ballmer will be out of a job by 2011 ?
I personally don't like the new face that its been given...until I try it for my own though I will not judge hastily, because it looks like there could be potential.
touch pro2 cannot run the wp7 series as it is low end device and doesnot meet the requirements so all of you will not be able to try it without changing your phones
Ah, how refreshing, more Microsoft bloat without managing to move forwards or impress anyone
Here's a good example :

yet microsoft is not the only company being pointed out for bloatware as you can see.
I think simple and intuitive is much better than what winmo7 looks like, but once again I won't solidify opinion until I am testing it out on a device.

I never said microsoft wasn't a major contributor either, I was just stating that the information you gave was only half of it (unless they of course read the article). So yes microsoft adds bloatware, but so do many others.
*edit*
I see we are on the same page, very unique as I believe this is a first.
What about Blu-Tack ?
There's no bloat in Blu-Tack !

different fields on technology buddy
Now that WP7S is announced, I'm sure someone will make a WP7S UI for Win 6.X just like the iPhone UI back in 07. So, developers get coding.

[Q] Can IOS 4 be ported to the EVO?

Not that I'm a fan of it but i was wondering since android can run on the iphone is it possible to put IOS on the EVO.
No IOS is not open source
Yeah, this isn't a netbook you're talking about. You can't just put an Apple OS on it all willy-nilly.
Seriously, though, I'd bet the trouble would be nigh-insurmountable based on hardware differences. They're using their own CPU in the iPhone, for one, and beyond that I bet they're working pretty strongly to keep iOS from ever being ported like OS X is.
How dare you!!!!! Off with his head!!!
Ha jk

more importantly
why would you wanna?
lol this is the second related thread to apple i've seen in the last 24 hours...lol
This thread made me sick to my tummy just a little bit!

			
				
the base for iOS is open(ish) source. But to my knowledge no one has tried to take Darwin down to the mobile level other than apple with iOS. In theory it should be able to be done, but that would be the only way to get a port. Hope your up for a challenge.

c'mon guys - outside of the poor taste it leaves in our mouths, the question is legit.
OP-It's highly doubtful that true iOS4 will ever be ported to android - too many challenges. The closest you might get is for a dev to build a theme that makes android look and act like iOS4 on the surface, but it would still be android.
oh yeah - and no iphone app store. ever.
Guys it was just a question so relax and stop the flaming. It probably can be done but there's too much work involved and it would also be illegal. Besides even if you were able to do it the App Store wouldn't allow your phone access so the only way to install apps would be through Installous (cracked apps) which is also illegal.
Android >>>>> apple
Android will be ported because it can and it has high enough demand..
IOS isn't ported because well... No demand <.<
I Never Really Liked Apple Anyway, My Mother Always Had A Problem With Me Eating Fruits Lol

........whyyyyyy
Plain and simple. It won't. Hardware is to different and it closed source. But if you were looking for ios'ish look for the evo check out miui. People argue both ways saying it is and isn't close to ios but from what I see (since I'm a daily user) its pretty damn close. Have fun

Nice MIUI themes?

I've browsed through the theme 'store' and haven't really found any appealing themes.
The stock MIUI theme is quite nice, but I fancy something different!
I was wondering what ones you guys use, if any?

Dude you need to stop asking what people like as they more than likely differ from your tastes.
In fact i think all "whats the best ROM/Theme" etc. should be banned as they just spam the board.
Example: I think Rihanna is the ugliest ***** ever to grace the planet and needs to phone home ASAP

If you cant find one you like..... make one it's not very hard.

Instead of nice, could state the most popular ones?

I see where you're coming from.
I agree that everyone has different taste, and using your example, I think Rihanna is one of the hottest women alive.
However I only wanted to get other peoples opinions on themes they may have used and liked.

Wow, that sure is a lot of phones. 21 phones for 21 people, right? Otherwise, you're insane.
Nope, my phone is the flipped one on the right side, blue tiles.
I ment who finds me in the other pictures, the REAL me, not my phone
Yes, it was 21 phones per >21 users of course.
nice meeting
majority of omnia 7?
lol, my proud!
a question... is the 4th from right to left at the bottom line with orange tiles the new omnia m? i cannot detect it...
No Omnia M on this picture, only in the "more pics" link there is on the 6th photo being held by our WP TL . We weren't allowed to make photos

Quite expected, because most Microsoft employees do receive their work phones from the company for free.
cant see any HD2's there?
also, no Mozart love!
EDIT: Interesting to see that the bright theme is rarely used.
am i the only one who thinks the way the nokias reflect the light makes their digitisers look like they are made of cheap plastic (don't know from experience, touched a wp7 nokia)

NEWS: HTC phones officially the best at stopping bullets

Hi HTC Owners...I've read this news online and wanted to share it with you guys...

One California man is thanking his lucky stars that he decided to buy an HTC Evo 3D. Yesterday morning the phone stopped a bullet that would otherwise have hit him in the chest.
It’s a scene right out of an old Western flick, except that the pocket-sized Bible has been replaced by a 4.3-inch Android smartphone. A look at the back of the Evo reveals that its most volatile components (the battery) played an important role in stopping the slug.
Obviously the victim will be in the market for a new phone now. If HTC’s marketing department has an ounce of common sense, they’ll leap at the chance to work this into their Iron Man campaign and get a brand new phone into this guy’s hands as quickly as possible.
This isn’t the first time an HTC phone has stopped a bullet, either. You may recall an eerily similar incident that occurred back in 2011, where an Atlanta nightclub valet’s life was saved by an Evo 4G. Yes, that’s another Sprint variant.
Is it possible that the Sprint/HTC collaboration is yielding some breed of superphones? Clearly one other thing Droid does is stand up to small caliber rounds.
Unapologetically plastic? That’s a slogan that works for some. Others might prefer the sound of something a bit more dramatic, and if HTC can’t find a way to capitalize on a second live-saving, bullet-stopping phone then the company deserves to be absorbed by a competitor and fade into oblivion.

That's like the best kind of marketing...
yeah, HTC dould use it efficiently...

They should really use that for marketing, would catch the attention of people with cracked phones!
