Despite the badge on my hip, I have no inside information to confirm this... however I suspect that 'series' has less to do with multiple skus as had been rumored prior to today... but more to do with the series of physical phones than the software.

Only time will tell though as there is still a lot we don’t know.

Are You Serious??? The only reason windows mobile is still alive is thanks to HTC and custom roms! If I hadn't custom built the ROM I'm running, I don't know what I would do. The stock rom that shipped with this thing was garbage!  The Microsoft UI is ugly, and seems streamlined for single-tasking. I don't seem much Pc in this phone and that is very dissapointing. I don't care about social networking if windows phone 7 doesn't even have a file explorer. We can't tell yet for sure. But it seems to me Microsoft sold WinMo's soul to apple. And traded all the power windows mobile users in with it.

I hope I am wrong. But this looks like Microsoft gave the concept of PocketPC the axe.

Let me first start off and say that I love Microsoft and its products so this is not meant to bash.  It's just my weekly rant!

I just watched a video speaking about Microsoft's new OS WM7. 
http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/LauraFoy/First-Look-Windows-Phone-7-Series-Hands-on-Demo/?wa=wsignin1.0

First this new OS works and sounds a lot like HTC sense UI.  I don't see any significant innovative features that will set Microsoft back on top of the Mobile world.  Rather I see a poor attempt to try to stumble through the door of technology evolution. 

The Mobile platform IS the future of PC!

The sooner Microsoft shifts gears the better off they will be.  Here is what they should do....

Create a dual "VIEW" booting OS sell a cradle and allow my dual monitors, keyboard and mouse to interface to the device.  This would give me the flexibility to have my hand held as a phone when out-and-about and when I came back to the office convert to an office PC to interface to my dual monitors.  Two views on the same device.  Sounds like a MVP pattern lol. 

Apple had the right idea witht the iPad but failed on implementation.  What they should of done is made the iPad brainless so that you could plug your iPhone in to the back and view your apps on a larger screen.  Throw a $99 price tag on it and I am sold!

Still a Fan 
I still love Microsoft and will continue to develop in Microsoft technologies but come on guys lets get innovative!

>Still not as easy to use,

So you've used one and said "my iPhone is easier?"

>powerful,

You base that on... what?

>or as many apps as an iPhone.

Given the iPhone has been on the market for... how long? Is that really a surprise?

>Nothing can ever pull me away from mine.

So it would be impossible for Apple to make a poor product at one point that could drive you into the arms of another, possibly better product?

I’m sorry to see that you are so emotionally attached to a brand that you cannot conceive of going without it.

>Good try by Microsoft, but Apple will just come out with something even better.

Time will tell... however if the iPad is any indication... that may not always be the case.

it would be cool if you could run a windows 7 business edition along side with this and be able to log into your companies domain and automatically download settings, apps etc..  for a business application platform.

you should also be able to press a button and turn on low battery consumption mode

where everything is black and white and stripped down in case you only have a bar left on your battery.

the sscreen is still too small for real life webbrowsing.  i think the iphone is almost just right

is this the same size it looks smaller on video.

i think if the hardware was nicely kindof modular

like your able to buy third party plugable modules to do watever

one of thise could be a screen like the ipad you could carry in your bag.

which would have its own battery but also be able to get ac or get through the phone.

this pad could even work wirelessly with the phone so the "desktop" is projected onto the screen

if the screen is inside a restaurant and your phone and your buddies phone are nearby

e.g. at the same table..

then icons of both your phones show up and even a menu from the restaurtant

we have been moving away from needed full blown operating systems on anything except servers in datacenters.

the iphone OS is real stripped down right .. noting like the pocketPC OSs but they gave what the customer needed

The UI needs some designer's touch and be more responsive.

Unless of course shading, transparencies and gradients were removed for performance reasons. But wait, then what are we talking about?

Yes, Silverlight, .Net compact, and other .Net goodness is a must. Apple has a very good library for managing program icons, while WinMo 6.5 was a.... behemoth.

Make it business ready. Oh, and make sure it truly supports VPN encryption. Not like Apple fake encryption, which forced many enterprises to ban iPhone from their networks.

The actual hardware peice still looked like a brick, not very appealing. I personally don't care much about appeal, but I know some people do. But it is up to the hardware manufacturer.

The dynamism of menues looks cool (not that I need that) but it takes too much time to get where you need. Shorten menu transition times, or change transition effects all together.

Make App development platform with many "out of the box" features just like in iPhone, so that a Ph.D. in chemistry guy would not need Ph.D. in CompSci to write an app for his students.

Also pricing, I know Google Android is free and Microsoft charges for WinMo quite a bit. Make prices appealing to manufacturers as well.

I think WinMo has a lot of potential, it just looks like it was put on the back burner by Microsoft, and was often unfinished.

Come on! Take for example transferring files to iPhone. It is such a pain, you really need to get a SPECIAL APPLE TRAINING for that, while in WinMo it was always a click of a mouse and very intuitive. Build on that. Simplicity yet extensibility for power and advanced users. Apple also has a very good customer support. You come to their store, tell it doesn't work, and they fix it, fast and easy.

It's kind a silly to create a car, and use a car from a competeters.

As and option, you can get the WMV link and stream it in Windows Media with (Open URL...).

From the presentation, it's not clear.. 

1. Does the OS will allow multitasking? ie. I open Internet Explorer / Oper (whatever), then i get a Incoming call or I remember that I need to arrange a meeting and go to calendar. Does the open app will forcedly closed? Or I could continue where I left?

2. Is there a legacy app support? The native Windows Mobile 5x apps and .net apps. Is there will be some transfer wizard? Or some emulation (like XPmode on Windows 7?)

As a winMo user I want to multi-task and I love the app collection that I use day-to-day

Some sources say it's CE 7.0 core.. so, it should be multi-tasking..  

I really don't mind some xda patches if the multitasking is not available by "default" ^^

I love my blackberry and may not give it up for this.. so I'd like to know how much suppose we're looking at..  I don't own a mp3 player yet either.. but I like Zune Software for the PC and Media Player for organizing/visualations for parties over ITunes by far.

Blackberry is by far the best business compatible phone and easy to use over all other phones on the market.  Will there be standard apps like a blackberry device?

memos

What if you don't have all these social sites or exchange?  how useful will this be? 

I hope Win7phones will have support for all this, otherwise I'll just upgrade my blackberry to a new one and Finally buy me an ipod.  The zune buttons are also too small for big fingers and I didn't find ZuneHD's interface that professional looking and too hard to use with big hands.

I have good apps on my blackberry.. and that UI makes sense to me..  this doesn't.  Here it looks like I have to swipe half a dozen screens just to get to SMS and contacts?  Seriously.. I want a phone 1st with other functionality second.  This certainly doesn't cover Keep It Simple Stupid.. the Font's are way too large.. and the back and forth button are too small.   The start menu on that phone looks like the quick start screen on Zune Software 4.  which I don't like either.  I like ZuneHD's start with a list.  There should also be a decent menu that applies to each screen on the phone like blackberry does.. I would like my Txt Messages and my Calendar and My Contacts and Call Log and Email easily accessable, thats why I use Blackberry..its simple and powerful.  I prefer texting over every other form of communication.. social or otherwise, its fast and easy. 

This guy wants a social networking device.. I seriously don't want all that together which is why I turned off syncing windows spaces too..I wish he would of showed off using email, texting and calling.. not just everything else..  That calendar needs some color.. blackberry has a decent calendar color scheme already.. copy that. 

I want a good looking business and media device that allows me to connect with people..  and the problem with facebook is people want to chat with you while your at work, so we don't like to be logged into facebook all the time.. I like the Zune Features he showed, the Email Features and Bing Search..  I totally hate Facebook.  Its too integrated..its like the poparatizy and everything all rolled into one place.. I want some friend seperate and there is a reason the people are on seperate social networking systems.. they don't need to know everything..   this guy wants to combine work and everything together.. and that is a horrible idea!!!!!!  Hello!  Just because you make Exchange and Have windows Live doesn't mean I want all these things merged together.. work is work and home is home, I'd like to keep it that way.

i like silos.. it helps me keep everything organized!!!  One stop shop doesn't have to be about total integration, but total accessability, my blackberry is way more intuitive and easy to use, these things look knida vague and you need map with directions on how to get to a feature on this thing.

Would like to find out more about WP7S' multi-lingual support. iPhone has a beautiful Arabic interface and the fonts chosen there are delictable. Can't say the same at all about any of WM6 phones I used where the Arabic interface is done by a third party and licensed by Microsoft. When installing that 3rd app (including from HTC the hardware vendor), the size of the fonts shrink by 40%. Making it impossible to edit text you typed in both Arabic and English as both get affected by the shrink. The display font is not elegent.

Would like to hear from MS dev team on these issues too.

The Blue Box home screen is tragic.  Dead on arrival.  Have no idea why anyone would ever demo it except to make Steve Jobs laugh.

Nice to see MS work on IE after all these years, but why not demo Flash?  Silverlight?  If it  ships without both of those, it's road kill and Android takes #2 spot while MS is finished.

This is clearly the social media phone.  But, is it Facebook only, or is it able to adapt as the world changes?

All in all, this demo didn't recognize the competition.  Microsoft has stood by and let Apple score 3 unanswered touchdown passes.  The score is 21-0 and we're in the fourth quarter.   If it isn't far better than this demo, it looks like they are thinking about scoring one field goal. Ballmer should resign over the losses in the mobile space thus far alone.

Let's hope this demo does not show us WM7, or we all need to sharpen our Android dev skills.

3 notes:

- the filters would seem to have a better place at the bottom of the screen (e.g. closer to where my thumb is ), although you can probably scroll horizontally without needing to reach the filters' names up top.

- at times it almost feels like the UI is too packed with details (e.g. the calendar "all day" view) - maybe there were just too many meetings in that day ...

- a wild guess: recognition of phone numbers and addresses are for us-only ?

Just now my country is not listed when creating Zune profile, and it's unavailable for XBox Live. Bing might work a little better too.

You've shown a great device in both terms of software and hardware, but I wouldn't want to buy something limited. If you want to sell it ourside of US, make it work in these locations. If MS don't do that, people will buy products from the competition. There are really more countries out there.

As for the UI. The parts that look like Zune, I would recommend people play with a Zune HD before dismissing it, it actually works very well and comes off a lot better when its in your hand, then these videos.

As for the launch screen, it depends how far along the UI is. Windows 7 UI when it was first shown was pretty weak. It didn't have the new task bar which is a pretty big UI element. From what they were saying in the Ping interview is that they are still working on every part of the UI and it is pretty customizable. I would not be disappointed if it ended up exactly the way it is now, but some might.

I think they thought about more what people want, then what they wanted to give people. This is a huge step in the right direction and if this thing is half as polished as Windows 7 then it will be a huge success. Hopefully ATT and Orange are capable of effectively driving the devices in the marketplace. ATT has about 18 M customers (which is a lot here in the USA) but Orange has about 130 M customers so I'd say if they are both committed to selling these devices (which they sure seemed like they were, being premiere carriers and all) they will kill on total devices sold.

I am sure Apple wishes they had access to a 130 M customer base to drive their sales. Maybe if they do not renew with ATT exclusively they will be a little better off, but man MS is not fooling around with this.

• Opera Browser - clicking links can be a real pain
• The predictive text is sometimes sluggish

Others have pointed out the horrendous looking "tiles" on the home page, the disfunctional touch screen, the painfully slow transition animations, the absurdly large fonts on a small screen, and bizarre partial glimpses of neighbouring screens (again wasting precious space).

The iPhone was released how many years ago?  I reluctantly bought one, and iTunes is as bad as the notoriously bad QuickTime, but the device itself is functional and fun to use!

Microsoft is missing the boat on portable devices.  There is a space between closed Apple and open Android.  Disappointed that no-one seems willing to fill it.

Windows Mobile was there before iPhone OS and Android. But Microsoft did not take any advantage of it. Like many other companies in the position of market leadership, they forgot about their customers and thus left the battlefield to the competitors. For example, Windows Mobile 6.x still ships with an Internet Explorer version which is somehow based on Internet Explorer 6 which was released in 2001. Likewise, at least in Europe and especially Germany, the majority of Internet users have switched to alternative browsers like Firefox and Opera because these are years ahead of the Microsoft product. While the competition was already aiming or already achieved 100% at completing Acid3-test, Microsoft developers celebrated that they finally passed a 100% on the old Acid2 with Internet Explorer 8 beta. Funny, but this somehow always reminds to the leaders in former communist countries who claimed that they will "overtake the West in near future" while in reality, they were not even close to the Western countries regarding their economies. This just shows how arrogant and escapist Microsoft behaves. Two other examples that just came to my mind are the experience I had yesterday installing Windows 7 on a 5 year old IBM ThinkPad X40 (that once cost around US$3000!), realizing that Microsoft does not provide a driver for the graphics chipset while on Linux, the current stable driver supporting this Intel chipset was released two months ago with the next release, 2.11, already being in the pipeline. Note, that Windows 7 runs like a charm on the X40 though, it's only the missing graphics driver. Likewise, I have been waiting for an updated version of Microsoft Messenger for Mac for over a year now after the Microsoft Mac team promised a Beta for mid-2009 (hint: Make your code platform-independent with technologies like Qt and you will be able to provide MSN Messenger in the latest release for all supported platforms at the same time; Pidgin and Skype show how easy that is and I'm a Qt-developer myself, deploying my software on Linux, MacOS and Windows at the same time).

Still, even though people are slowly turning away from Microsoft away in many sectors of business, economy and home use, Microsoft still tries to tie their users to Windows with proprietary standards and technologies. They come up with technologies like Silverlight and OpenXML which, despite Microsofts claims, are everything but open and free, since they contain technologies patented by Microsoft and people using these technologies will always have to fear that Microsoft will change their mind and start asking for licence fees or sueing them otherwise. Funny enough that I had to read in the comments here that users of Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8 had trouble watching the video here while I could just copy and paste the link to the .mp4-file and open with mplayer on Linux . So much for the openness and the interoperability of Silverlight when it doesn't even work with Microsoft-only clients.

I'm sorry if my post appears to be pure Microsoft-bashing, that is not my intention. Furthermore, I do not intent to attack anyone, I'm just reflecting my own opinion and my assessment of the current situation with Microsoft. What I want to say is that Microsoft finally needs to open their eyes and accept the fact that they are no longer the only global player on the software market. And if they want to be able to compete in future they will have to open up to the rest of the world which is non-Microsoft otherwise they will fall behind more and more. Things like Microsoft opening the documentation of the SMB-protocol for Samba and even running Linux servers in their headquarters at Redmond to be able to provide patches the Linux kernel for Hyper-V are already a good start. I hope that Microsoft will continue their efforts in this direction!

I hope my comment will not be deleted though.

I agree with most criticism expressed in this forum. I want a good browser compatible with many web technologies as possible, and then, I will use that browser (via an Internet shorcut to Facebook cleverly placed on the screen) for updating my Facebook profile, transfer funds from my bank account (via the java app that my bank uses for authentication), use Flash apps that run on lots of pages, read the newspaper with animations included, connect to the remote workplace and execute its Activex apps, read ebooks and write documents and do tons more of things.

Saw a post here on gesture copyright which raised an eyebrow. I think this would go the same way as when Apple went after Microsoft for overlapping windowing, icons, etc., They were just too public domain, and really can a single company get total control of how my fingers move  naturally?

It's probably too late for this but wanted to add the home page UI is no doubt form following function, and is excellent, but it's not sexy, or good eye candy. Business users might look past this but you can bet my daughter won't.
