Intern Voice: Mary’s first take on WP7 – Part 2

Hey guys!

It’s been a couple more weeks with my WP7 and I must say that I am LOOOVIN’ it! Not going to lie, I am a bit surprised since I came into this with high expectations with my iPhone 4. :P I don’t want to bore you with the details so here are some highlights:

What I love about my WP7:

-Ability to personalize the display of the phone - the icons on my phone is a nice, bright pink! :)

-Integration of contacts so I can easily see Facebook statuses, phone numbers, emails all in one place! AND I can post on someone’s FB wall with a few quick clicks!

-Voice command is AMAZINGLY accurate!

-Onscreen keyboard is as good as the iPhone 4 keyboard

-Office is actually super handy!

What took some getting used to:

-Back button is really useful if you can remember what screen you were at last. I guess this is somewhat similar to the multitask function on iPhone 4, but it’s just a very different use.

-Panorama displays of apps… you may end up going in circles if you don't pay attention! :P

What I miss about my iPhone:

-Cheap/free apps! (Ex. Fruit Ninja is $0.99 on iPhone vs. $3.49 on WP7! :()… but I am sure this is just a matter of time!

-Retina display – Sorry but the Dell screen doesn’t even come close.

-Simple, centralized syncing through iTunes (you saw my struggle with loading contacts…)

-FaceTime (and two way camera) is a much funner way to talk than a voice call. I hope this feature will be possible on future phones! :)

Bye for now!
