Windows phone 7 review

Windows Phone 7
I am actually looking forward to buying a windows phone. Although Microsoft's 18,000 apps can't possibly compete against much larger markets like Android's 200,000 apps and Apple's 500,000 apps , the separation of games to x-box live and the interactive feel of the home screen really won me over.
The phone does have its drawbacks like no secondary camera, no flash or microsoft's silverlight support, no multitasking along with only internal memory support.
Most of these problems go away with the update mango or windows 7.5.There is support for HTML5 web standard which has a much bigger scope.  Multitasking is finally introduced but memory card support is still missing. Along with that the internal memory of windows phone cant be used as a USB like in android but its more like iPhone and you have to use ZUNE to transfer files between your mobile and desktop. Its inconvenient and to anyone with the same problem check out the link below

Overall its a great OS but it still needs some time to catch up to operating systems like apple and android and we'll just see how it goes
