QUOTE(marauderz @ Jan 30 2012, 02:34 PM) The Windows Phone Developement tools ARE FREE. Just like the iPhone, it's only when you need to deploy to physical devices for testing that you need to pay and get registered. Yes the tools are free but the developer and market license to deploy to devices is not. Since it is essential to test on hardware, Microsoft should just give that ability for free. One reason why Google's Android grew so fast is that you can create your own programs and deploy to your any phone for free by just copying the program APK to your phone via USB/Bluetooth.

Developer can install onto iOS devices too after jailbreaking. That is why these two can have so many apps. But again. Symbian can install too right using .sis files but look where it is.

I do still think it's still generally early to get a WP7. Still has a lot of room to grow. Kinda like when iPhone 1st gen came out. hahaha.
That being said, i don't regret getting my Radar. I didn't bother waiting for the Lumia because of the price point and the lack of front facing camera. Still a bloody good phone though.

It'll be a nice surprise if we see Marketplace launching at the same time, but I'm gonna say there's no way that's gonna happen!
