Doesn't the network you are connecting to play a very important role. Are they all using the same network? I am sure the answer is probably no.



Around the Network

Network does play a role. Its interesting that that didn't bother the guy and his 100 dollars. Any network anytime.

How does the marketplace hold up compared to the app store and Android market?

Answer: not well, quick google found that they both have well over 400,000 apps, whilst windows phone is on just below 60,000. I think I'll wait for it to catch up :P

There's a reason for that...about a 4-5 year reason

 

Windows phone is really awesome though. There are only a few apps that I can think of that it doesn't have (namely Skype which is odd considering MS owns Skype)



Windows phone is definetly a zippy device with lots of features baked in to the os.

Shows that you don't need quad cores 5G superphones to do most of the tasks that normal people do on a daily basis. Software is still king...



I'd take a WP7 over an ios device anyday.

until wp7 has insanely awesome integration with googles services I'm sticking with my Galaxy Nexus.

This comment was voice to texted on my gnex.



Also, the wp7 integration is easily trumped by Android's widgets. It takes me one click to post on facebook or twitter or anything else I decide to set a widget for.



This is dumb

I don't think WP integrations are trumped by widgets to be honest...Windows phone can update all socical networks at once with 1 message using the Me tile. You still have to post your message in every social network widget.

Not that this speed social networking shit matters to me much...just sayin'.

Lets see, maybe WP already covers Google services you need...

WP syncs with Gmail perfectly.

I have a Gmaps app on my Windows phone which gives me google maps and all of the services it has on  a platter to me.

I have a Picasa app which works wondefully in letting me see, share and upload pictures to Picasa

I have a google search app...its a text box just like the one you have on android

There is a Google Messenger client app as well, but I never used it.

What Google services is it missing?
