Windows replies the iPhone with 7 series

It took a while for Windows to actually reply to the Apple iPhone, but the wait seem to be worth it. I still remember one of Microsoft Sales Exec said, " We are strong in the mobile market, we are not threatened by the iPhone... plus it doesnt have a keyboard", when the iPhone was first launched. At least thats how I remembered. Now few years later a no keyboard Windows Mobile is launched... yeayy. Ill be looking for the video on youtube if I can find it.. it was a few years back.

So skip all the Apple fan boy talk, Im going to try to give a fair review on this. Windows phone 7 series... hmmm.. to me the strongest feature on this mobile platform would be the SNS ( Social Network Sync ) fuction. Basically all the applications in the phone will update real time based on their social network account such as Facebook or Twitter. Imagine just by looking to your home screen in your phone you will know updates such as latest pictures uploaded, status change and even locations. This is a realy cool function to have on a phone.

Another strong feature would be the interface design. The design is quite similar to the Zune HD, which we all know uses a fancy arty layout. I would be something unique and stylish to have on a phone.

Lastly you can sync with your pc via wifi... skip the wyres and cables baby.

Microsoft really took their time and effort in this and sad to say I think it has gone beyond the iPhone. But it is still too early to tell since it has not officially launched and Apple still have the iphone 4g up their sleeves.
