WP7 Impressions
I hate to give more fuel to people that think I'm a fanboy (god I hate that term), and trust me, I would love nothing more than for Nokia, LG, anyone to come out with an amazing new phone that blows WP7, iPhone, Android, everything away, but am I the only person that absolutely thinks WP7 sucks? (Hows that for a run-on sentence).
IMHO:
The UI looks like something I made when I was learning basic HTML back in '92, when people sill used frames. The "panorama views" are a horrible idea IMO. It annoys the hell out of me that you can't read "People" in your contacts page because the word goes off the screen. It's like I just installed WinXP and the video drivers aren't installed, so WinXP is yelling at me to turn up the resolution. There is no visual distinction between UI elements in lists (or anything for that matter). The keyboard is the same old crap keyboard from forever ago. The flipping animation between pages takes way too long, and I'm sure would get annoying after the fifth time. The whole thing just feels... cramped, and for no good reason. Is this really your best MS? It's worse than I expected.
I'd love to hear others input on why my views are wrong, but really, I have no inclination to buy a WP7 over a Android phone or an iPhone. Heck, I'd take a BB over it....
