@Software_Goddess: had an effect on me too. i woke up about 45 min later with keyboard face wondering why i both watched that video AND listened to the music = cure for insomnia #samsungomniaii
Interesting theory about the blurring line between critics and customers, Wilson. But is it right?
If the Nokia's smartphones are generally dismissed by critics yet still capture a plurality of the marketshare, that kind of suggests your theory is wrong.
Stepping back from cold reality, I think there will always be a distinction between the critic (professional or otherwise) and the rest of the customer base. We go to critics and reviewers for many things because there is too much choice in this world and not enough time. The Internet doesn't change this. And if people unerringly followed the advice of critics, Michael Bay would be out of a job. #steveballmer
Odd, considering their latest Windows 7 ad blitz consists of nothing but a cute tiny asian kid quoting all the great things critics are saying about Windows. (Including Gizmodo, at least in the original version of the commercial.) #steveballmer
Um. This guy can't even say "Nokia" correctly. Why am I listening to this tool? Him and Bush should team up to talk about how "Nuclear" "Nokia" is going. #steveballmer
@TheSonOfKrypton: No he said it right. Thats how you pronounce Nokia around the world. For some reason Nokia is pronounced wrong in the states. Even Nokia pronounces their own name wrong in the states. #steveballmer
@scarbrtj: I'd trust the pronunciation of "Nokia" from a guy who competes with them and has at least been to Finland more than some blog writer. Just sayin'
@Tawnie is noddin' her head like Yeah!: Why? What is it about Android that has you more excited than Windows 6.5? This is a serious question because I love my WinMo phone (custom ROMs etc..) and really want to know what I'm missing because the only Android phone I've played with (TMo G1) seemed "clunky" to me... #steveballmer
@Microsoft fanboy of the year: Droid makes the G1 look clunky. Just play with one when they come out soon and you will see why it is being labeled an iphone killer. #steveballmer
Are there really people around here waiting for 6.5.1? I would have to assume the people out there using WinMo either have to or are waiting out their contract.
We all know the new WinMo is coming, but until then, I see no point in even bothering to give 6.5 any air play. It's like continuing to put out reviews in reference to XP if a new SP hit.
Then again, it wouldn't be the first time I was way off the mark.
Personally, if I still had my Treo, I still wouldn't care. My Treo did what it was supposed to, contacts, viewing of office docs, email, and make calls (Live was pretty cool). Most of the other features didn't work too well, but I didn't need them so I didn't really care. #windowsmobile651
@UnderLoK: Actually, I'm finding the Tilt 2 to be an amazing phone. And this is after having played with my wife's iPhone for quite a while. #windowsmobile651
wow, i hate treos w/a passion since i have to support them (650, meh; 700P or 700W were a nightmare to support)
yea, winmo 6.x is just a total clusterf#$k of fail imo.
hope winmo7 brings the finger touch game. just wish microsoft would do like android and apple; not allow nearly as much carrier customizations. those carrier addon crap just kills the os for things you'd never use.
@seamonkey420: I wouldn't say a Treo is good by today's standards, but I honestly didn't have any issues with mine nor any of the other guys I worked with (we were all issued Treo's).
Sure once a month it would lockup, but the last phone I had that didn't lock up once in awhile was a 2way Nextel from Moto (4+ years ago).
By and large I agree they have sucked for awhile, but our 700's were fine. Maybe just dumb luck?
