My Experience with Windows Phone 7

I've been using my New Windows Phone 7 for a couple of weeks now. I really love it! The huge difference between WP7 and 6.5 is massive. I really hated my 6.5

I see few simple factors that really did this massive change;

1- Ease of use

2- Impressive GUI

3- Integration (outlook, MSN, etc...)

They can all be concluded in one word "Simplicity". This what we need in a phone and I believe this is what the Windows phone are bringing to us

Two major draw backs that really killed me were the Arabic support and Copy/paste features. For the Arabic support, i was really happy to find the below (a colleague reverted me to);

 

go to “Marketplace” search for “Arabic Hub” and click on “Install”.

 

You will be able to do the following:

 

· Browse Arabic websites.

· Search the web in Arabic.

· Write Arabic SMS.

As for the Copy/paste feature, Microsoft has announced that it’ll be there in the next few months. https://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/features/update-info.aspx

Worth Mentioning that I’m using the “HTC Mozart” which is really good from a size and resolution perspective if compared to the HTC HD7 . The battery is still awful but I was also reverted to the this nice link to best use your battery; https://wpcentral.com/help-extend-wp7-battery-life-how-to
