Intern Voice: Mary’s first take on WP7

  • 發行項

Hey there!

My name's Mary and I am a university student that just started as an intern with the DPE team here at Microsoft! One of the cool perks that I get from working here is that I get to play with a Dell Venue Pro to get a feel for WP7 for the next few months!!! Coming from an iPhone 4, this is sure to be an interesting transition! Oh, and did I mention that I woke up at 4am and then lined up for 10 hours to get my iPhone 4? So yes, this will be a very interesting indeed. (If you're wondering, I got a micro-SIM card adapter to get it to work on the WP7!)

For starters, here are some first thoughts:

  • The Dell Venue Pro has got a pretty sleek design but it is a bit bigger in comparison to the iPhone 4.
  • It also has a slide out QWERTY keyboard in addition to the on-screen keyboard… though I think I’ll prefer the touchscreen keyboard since I’ve gotten so used to it on the iPhone 4, so we will see how well the WP7 deciphers my fat finger’s typing! Haha.
  • I loooove how you can personalize the colour scheme. :) First thing I did was set my phone to a hot pink theme with the black background… Don’t judge! :P
  • I need to get used to swiping up/down to find the apps vs. left/right like on the iPhone!

Join me as I learn to use the phone and hunt down cool apps (GAMES!) and functions on WP7! :) PLEEEASE let me know if you have any good tips on getting used to the phone, or any good recommendations on apps! :)
