Windows Phone 7

did MS not learn anything from Zune? we don't need another phone OS but they are too headstrong to admit that. Xbox Live integration seems minimal at best, and that home screen is fugly. guys, please either jump on the Android wagon or just give it up.

sigh

Those huge monochromatic icons/panels are fucking ugly

Windows Phone os 7 is basically their last foray into the phone market. Mark my words, there won't be a version 8.

I have to agree with Obel here. Samsung and LG all have phones with their own branded version of Android. You know when the Koreans are leaving MS, things are going downhill rapidly. Also when the fuck did Dell start making phones?

Any bets that the e-mail only integrates with outlook?

Plus what joyrex said.

jesus, that's fugly.

this is why i'm glad i wasn't phone

one thing to describe this:

quoth the article:

"The new phones are distinguished by unique design and integrated experiences built from Microsoft's deep portfolio such as Xbox LIVE, Microsoft Office Mobile, Zune, Windows Live, Bing and more"

quoth me:

"lol, who doesn't Hate and try to escape from those products with every fiber of their being at every moment of the day?"

except for xbox live i s'pose, but i don't have a 360.
