Windows Phone 7, in short, is a fresh start, a reboot and a rediscovery of the Windows Mobile platform. Microsoft didn’t get everything right with Windows Mobile 6.5, but Windows Phone 7 appears to be that one chance they can get back. It’s clean, it’s new, and it’s pretty cool. Yeah, there’s some obvious flaws – no cut and paste? But the base idea is there and its ‘we want to break away from app-based systems’.
The mobile OS features more on ‘hubs’ than apps – as in, the main features of the phone aren’t focuses about apps or anything; but rather on collections, folders… and really confusing things like that. We’re going to get hold of a Windows Phone 7 phone soon, so we’ll have more to say about the OS.
Windows Phone is completely fresh, even if I don’t understand the concept of not having the content fit the screen or anything – but maybe it’s a chance for Microsoft to get back into the smartphone race.
