Huh? iOS was never a competition with Windows Mobile from the beginning. I can't say about WP7 though, looks like Microsoft screwed that one up big time.

wanna sell it to me?

Sorry, I got one liao at a cheaper price.

I'm saving now to buy a WP7 IF it is good. Otherwise, WM6.1 may be only best PDA OS. Yup, it's unbeatable.

Well... they used the HD2 board, what did you expect?

anyone suffering from the antennagate issue with the HD7?

WP7 supports push notifications, with limitations. I don't recall what they are though. Check out pocketnow for more details.

So why did you guys buy the HD7? I mean... it does use an SD card as storage.

There's the LG Optimus 7, and Samsung Omnia 7 which uses NAND flash which is 3-5x faster than the HD7 in terms of load times. And they're cheaper too.

Yeah, the screen is pretty damned big, hahaha. At first I was tempted too, and that kickstand... really sweet touch. But when I found out that one of the front facing "speaker" is just a piece of decoration, and that it runs on SD card, and it took about 4-5 seconds to open the HTC Hub (compared to the less than 1 sec loading of Optimus 7), I decided that performance is more important, since Xbox Live games will definitely take longer to load. And with Mango doing all that additional stuffs... NAND flash is a must.

Yeah, the demand for WP7 phones is pretty low, mainly because ipon and android receive all the hype, and m'sian users are dumb users anyway, so they'd rather be hopping on the dumbness bandwagon. Coupled with the previous experience of the level of difficulty with Windows Mobile, they're like OMG ipon so easy to use!! Androids so gooding!! Elsewhere in the world, more and more people are picking up WP7. But it's still pretty rare to see one in the wild.

I think the if Maxis is really offering RM999, depending on your data plan, it's may be a pretty good deal, because you really need that data plan to make your WP7 useful, even without being able to do tethering.

IM+, but it's not free.

Ok sorry can't help you out then, because I seldom play IM
