Really WTF?, I am amazed by the fact that something as simple as this can not be done on a so called smart phone that is supposed to be leaps and bounds ahead of WM.

I miss sending simple MMS to people and don't see what the big deal is with MS not allowing this, I mean you can send video which includes audio but not audio it's self does that make any sense? I mean they even have apps in the market place that lets you down load free ringtones, are the developers at MS smoking crack?
I don't know either but MS need to straighten soon or im jumping ship else where

I would too but I would never go iPhone nor Andriod; I think that if I were ever to jump ship, I would just get a cheap talk and text phone. I just don't get why MS is trying so hard to be like the iPhone when the real competition is from Android
Seriously Microsoft? You can't send video MMS either? What the ****? Jesus Christ !!! What the **** can you do with this phone?

Never say never...come to the dark side lol....why not? they jumped shipped on wm & it users. MS only competion is themselves,they went iphone clone to get beat out by an wm clone,have crappy marketing,dont have alotta devices, & wp lacks many standard features. They shouldve scrapped the windows name and/or had commercials like to they did for pcs showing how easy is it to use.
Not to mention setting up MMS to work for an unlocked Windows Phone is almost like impossible. I think I will regret buying the Radar and will just be better off selling it

I don't blame you, there is a large amount of people that are going out and buing WM devices and ditching WP, if this doesn't open up MS eyes then I don't know what will. For one they need to stop fagging around and stop trying to be like the freaking iphone, 2 they need to get their heads out of the cloud, most people don't want to use that **** and 3 they need to listen to what people actually want, their answer to every question is "That is not possible at the moment".

Ok, it looks REALLY great. If it's as fast as it looks, we may have a winner
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/what.s-w...ow-wm7-and-wm8-are-going-to-fix-it-333536.php
What you should make a note of is the things that it improves upon from all the previous ui's of WM past. I'll wait for 8.
When is WM7 due? It's not until 2009 is it?
Detailed picture gallery here as well..
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/06/is-this-windows-mobile-7/
I've gone thru the entire gallery and if its truly able to deliver on what it can do.. Its pretty much gonna be good light years jump from what WinMo and all other platforms short of the iPhone and still good 5 years ahead of the iPhone itself...
They are really going big on movement based gestures and some of the concept is truly remarkable.. like if you see lets say, a name on the browser search. One can then tap and hold on it and start "shaking" the phone/device which tells the device to do a "smart search" where it'll "rain" down a bunch of animated icons that settle down to show the various things/files/pictures/activities related to that name existing in your phone etc... what a simple yet ingenious concept.
Although, I must say that this will open more questions than answers to why did MS have to make this Super-Quantum leap from WM6 and not have given us a good progression to it in the form of already having released such interface in WM5 onwards??!!?? After all, this kind of technology and its implementation could not have just been put together overnight within the last 6 or lets say 12 months subsequent to the announcement/release of the iPhone...
Good Ol' boy wizards Mr. Gates and Balmer holding back as usual I guess...
Oh well.. better late than never.

Will Windows Mobile 7 be available as an upgrade to already existing phones? I just recently bought my tilt and am wondering if I will be able to run this when it comes out? Thanks in advance.
For tilt maybe, but I don't think my old prophet can carry the weight... There was no WM6 update, so why should there be one for 7.
Depends on the Device.
ya i was really greatful at&t baked us a wm6 rom for hermes (8525), is 100% stable and runs awesome, but i still can't wait to try some wm7 fresh from the kitchen goodness!
wonder if the unit specs will ramp up much?
Is there already or can someone make a program like this for WM5/6 ???
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf9c5IxAB74
That would be AWESOME. You guys are always sayin "we can do everything the Ipod can do - only better." Prove it fellas!

Lol, that is exactly why we're better than iPhone. They need a "guitar" to showcase what it can do. Ohh, iPhone, touch a string, and wow oooohhh Wow. I believe our Pocket PC's don't need a "guitar" to prove we're better.
*Pulls of PPC* 3G, oooohhh aahhh. GPS. oooohhh aahhhh
"Hi, I'm a mac, I can play the guitar". "Hi, I'm a boring PC, all I do is surf at HSPDA speed.
iPhone? Please!
At least we have the freedom to develop a program that will run on a PPC and we're not locked out of our OS!
Also there are cool programs like Songbook and Songsheet, great for learning, but if you want to play guitar, might I suggest, just a thought now, a GUITAR!
"Crap guys...the iPhone can do something kind of cool that we can't do. Time to belittle it".
Yeah, because us Windows Mobile users NEVER point out things that are very niche as to why our phones are as good/different/better than the iPhone.
I think its a cool app. cant' be done on the PPC though because of lack of multitouch support.
watching some PPC users reactions to iPhone stuff I'd swear they were just told they have a small :cough:.
Well, we've had this one for a while

People who play guitar actually tend to... wait for it... play REAL guitars
somewhere i see a video where a dude was using a diamond touch di debug mode, and he was using 2 fingers, so i suppose that should be doinable on winmobile too
sadly, actually i'm still waiting for the deliver of my new blackstone, so i can't try :-\
I purchased the Verizon Touch Pro 2 the day it came out, but I have never been happy with the phone. I have had some issues with two of them actually. I’m receiving my third new phone this Thursday. I’m going to sell it off on either Ebay or XDA or something, but I was curious to see if anyone else is jumping ship to the new Motorola Droid. Anyone? I think the droid is a great mixture between the customization of WM6.5 and the stability of Blackberry. What do you think? Anyone taking the leap? I think that will be my next phone. I was excited for the WM6.5 update and what not, but it my eyes WM will never be great until possibly WM7.
PS: If you’re interested in a new HTC Touch Pro 2, we can discuss that too! Just thought I would toss that in there…..
We have almost 20 TP2s. Everyone knows the Droid is coming, no one has asked. I have 10 more eligible for upgrades in the next 2 months, and most of them have asked for a TP2.
you say you have had problems? what kind of problems to go through 3 phones :\
I have seen videos of it and it is buggy. For instance if you go to scroll through contacts or a list you drag your finger and about a half of second later it decides to scroll. Plus I can't stand not having decent gps software.

are you talking about the droid not having decent gps software? The google maps on droid looks pretty damn good to me.
Be wary of "The Droid", last guy that thought it was a good idea to switch... well, it didn't turn out so well ...

if you don't want the freedom of doing anything with a mobile device via mods, hacks, and forums (and I mean anything literally) but rather a very handy device that will perform well out the box...then I recommend the droid...but if you want anything you can think of on a phone...stay with the TP2. Pretty much, the TP2, you have to "fix" and "trick" out to see the "actual" potential of what you have where as the the Android OS, you get most of what you would want right out of the box but has limitations. I stay with windows personally cause if I need something, it's there either on xda or ppcgeeks, period. It's just a matter of finding it.
I say do it. The more people we have working on it, the faster we can root it and start modifying.
It looks like a great phone. I can't wait to pick it up friday.
...well my personal MOST absolute favorite feature about the iPhone is that I can always wear this logo...

hahaha! Sorry to be so crass but whatevs. This stuff is so perfect I had to post it plus I'm surprised we're JUST now seeing a print like this one. I actually think even the iClones will like to wear this print anyway since they're usually into whatever is trendy. This way, its completely outspoken and I never really have to say anything. I can be on a bus, in an elevator, at the grocery store...ummm, AT&T Store, anywhere! Its AWESOME!!!
So Merry Christmas to my XDA fam, ant-iPhonies, and iCloners alike!! This is legit. I know the guy and they're doing pre-orders now, so I know I'm getting one.
Anyway, I thought I'd put it out there for my XDA fam. I've been following for hella, but I rarely post, and keep a pretty low profile. Usually I figure things out my dang self but I'm always turning people onto the community. I mean how many times have you run into someone with some HTC phone and its still got the protective shipping plastic on the back about to fall off (like your grandmas' 40 year old plastic covered couch) and you can tell they haven't even begun to use it?! Yeah, I know...what a waste right. And thats why I am very grateful for this gash darn community.
Ya'll Rule, XDA!!!
HTC -4- LYFE biiiiiiaaaaaaaaaa...*cough**hack*...umm, well at least after this Samsung Captivate goes out of style THEN I'll be back to HTC...cool?!
ps...to be truthful, it doesn't have much to do with iPhones or Mac's to me. I'm sure they technically do their jobs well. However, its the "greater-than-thou" attitude that seems to inhabit people once they "wield" a APPLE device that enrages me. Some one gets an iPhone or a MAC and all of a sudden they apparently 1) know calculus, 2) speak 3 languages, 3) can locate Tanzania on a topographical globe, 4) and wear Birkenstocks?! EEF all that madness. Its more the big corporate One-Size-Fits all mentality that enrages me.
pps...any thoughts?
Very nice but off topic have to go
So this is pretty random and I've done some searches and can't seem to find anything, probably because no one would care enough to do something like this besides me.
The problem: I'm a MS consultant and am tired of hearing **** from my WP7 friends and colleagues.
The ask: Is there a way to mask/disguise/FAKE the OS I have when working with social networking sites? Primarily Facebook for now, you know the "sent via Windows Phone" or "posted by HTC Sense", "Android", etc.
Anyone know how to change/hack/tweek that without changing phones/OS's entirely?
You could just post from their mobile sites and it will say posted from _____ mobile. You can also post from the main site from your phone and it's like posting from your computer.
I know this isn't really what you asked at all, but it will help with your issue.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Caring about being made fun of by windows fanboys for using a linux based phone to me is like caring about being made fun of because you dont huff fumes from an aerosol can. Always annoys me that some group or person can be so blinded to see that there is more than one alternative that works for people and it doesnt always come from the same source
Some applications let you remove that signature or set what it says. However, the easiest solution would be not to use the application and use the browser in the site. If they dont let you set it, then you have to modify the apk or modify the build.conf file in /system (which may or may not mess things up for other applications that depend on that). It's most likely picking up the make/model from that.
If it bothers you that much, you probably need new friends and ignore the coworkers you have to see regardless. Your current ones suck and have drank the koolaid.
Your problem also reminded me of the following penny arcade comic (ignore the phones in question, just the general overtone of the comic is what is related):

I guess I should have clarified. I'd love nothing more than my posts to start saying Windows Phone and seeing their false appreciation and excitement only to see me still rocking my TB with CM once I actually see them.
Was just a question, thought maybe someone else might have had some hack to alter it somehow.

Ah okay, you just want to one up them in a slightly smartass way . Generally as mentioned, it's just a setting in apps you can change, at least for things like email clients, but you probably looked in whatever you are using already.

Yeah, primarily it's the Android Facebook app for statuses and photo uploading. I wouldn't have the slightest idea on where to start in tweeking anything in it. Naturally I think the settings in the app wouldn't allow me to change that.
