Comment on Windows Phone 7 – complete fail or not? by Steve

Microsoft need to sort out their act with this business of restricting file system access. On my WM 6.5 I have books and comics where I own both the paperback version and the electronic version. I would like to be able to copy these files to my device and read them in a single application without having to re-purchase them.

What about all my mp3′s? Will I have to upload them to the internet before being able to download them to my phone again?

What about all my existing photos and videos, how will I be able to copy those up to my phone and view them with whatever app I choose.

As far as I’m concerned, this takes content dictatorship to the next level (Apples level)!

The only people that use phones that are so restricted (like the iPhone) are people like my Granmother who can’t be bothered with tweaking her phone, using her phone as a file storage device or having applications that can access the file system.

It is pure evil that Microsoft think they can dictate the content I want to store on my own phone. Yes, by all means keep it simple for the majority of users, but please allow us power users to use the phone the way we choose.

Yes the UI on touch screen mobile devices needs to be simplified a lot from the days of WM, but I want a computer in my pocket that I have full control over. Not some dumbed down device that can only do what Microsoft says it’s allowed to do.

If Microsoft are truly worried about security, then just popup a notice before any app can access the file system, warning the user that they allow this at their own risk. This isn’t about security, this is about money and greed. Mark my words, watch what will happen to the iPhone as it eventually loses out to Android. Users will eventually realise that they want the freedom to use their phone however they want.

I really hope Microsoft get burned by this. I love developing for Microsoft, but these sorts of limitations are regressive, and really make me angry.

I’m a ‘soon-to-be’ htc wildfire consumer from Kenya. I’ve been doing some analysis on this phone and i’ve discovered it to be the very best price range-smartphone.I am now able to order it, unlocked obviously, because it hasn’t yet started being offerd in my country. The only huddle but to be falt with is findinga reputable company prepared to export abroad, especially to Africa. Thus far the only web site i’ve found is expansys.co.uk.

Whilst I love a bodily keyboard, after coping with the Samsung Captivate for roughly quarter-hour, it is onerous to move back. At the moment I am debating whether to go to Verizon for the Droid X, go to Dash for the EVO, or stay with AT&T for the Captivate…selections, decisions.

Yes I need the weather on the home srceen with information updates, sure I would like contacts visable at any given time, I desire a teach app, a flight app, a highway congestion status app and yes I desire a phone so they can reply to my each command and now not hang/freeze or shutdown like my present Nokia E72 or my earlier Blackberry Bold.

You lost me, buddy. I mean, I suppose I get what youre saying. I get where by youre coming from. But you just seem to have forgotten that you will discover folks on the market who can see this issue for what it genuinely is and might not agree with you. You appear to alienate a complete bunch of people who may possibly are already fans of your weblog.
