I am looking at news and pictures of the new windows 'series 7' phones and I am so excited i'm like... actually... I'm not that excited. Since my first windows mobile phone back in 2005, I have been a fan, mainly because of syncing to outlook. Not many people I know use outlook to its full extent, with the exception to my mom, who is also a Windows Mobile fan.
I dropped outlook, and accepted Google as my new overlord, actually to the point of considering a Google phone. Yet AT&T never had one... Makes sense considering they bitch about people with iPhones using their service. The truth is I had given up on Windows Mobile... The touchscreen interface just sucks, and was slow as hell, causing me to revert back to a non-touchscreen windows mobile phone.
I guess I can thank Apple for their interface, because I knew it would forever change the cell phone interface forever, mainly because so many sheeple flock to them ("oooh, I have an iPhone! I am a techno-geek now!"). The new series 7 interface looks like how it should, easy to navigate and big enough for your fingers... fuck styluses. The 'what's happening now' and social networking integration is freakin' great, now I can catch up on all of my friend's twitter accounts that they don't have! Regardless, I think I will probably shoot for one when they come out at the end of 2010...
Oh yeah... they also took out multitasking... never understood why that was needed in the first place in a phone, cept to drain the battery faster (and yes, I have purposely done that... once).
