Overview of Windows Phone 7 features from a Microsoft-Ukraine employee

I myself have been using a Windows 6.5 based communicator for a long time - not because I’m really a fan of the WinMo platform, but simply because I like my communicator (I won’t call the model so that it isn’t considered advertising). Because of this, I try to keep track of news about the updates of the mobile OS from Microsoft Corporation, and today I came across not the news, but the whole review from an employee of the Ukrainian branch of Microsoft. The review is divided into three parts, and all videos are in progress.

In general, after reviewing the entire video, one might even be surprised that the system is so minimalistic. The Windows Phone 7 interface is quite different from everything I've seen before. By the way, the LG “tube” was used to test the operating system - I didn’t recognize the model myself, but maybe someone will say right away what kind of device it is.

In general, working with contacts, phone book, calendar and network functions of the operating system looks quite satisfactory, but, of course, it all looks very specific. It is very surprising that the system is cleared of all sorts of "lotions", and the functions of this mobile operating system are wrapped in minimal graphics. Even the menu, and those entirely text, without any graphics.



By the way, there are no widgets in the system - perhaps for some it’s a plus, well, and someone has already managed to get used to them, so it will lack favorite functions.

Separately, it is worth noting that the system doesn’t look like a copy of OSs of other manufacturers that are close to it. It seems that the developers did all this from scratch, adding their own ideas as the main platform is ready. In any case, it is better to see all this than to read a large amount of text, right? Who looked, waiting for comments. Maybe someone and "touch" the system happened? It would also be interesting to hear comments on the topic.



And the main question, of course, has long been overdue - do you think WinMo will live (well, its direct descendants), or it is going to gradual dying of the platform, as it has long happened with Symbian, despite all attempts to reanimate the platform. Of course, now there are a lot of platforms, beautiful and different, but in order to list the dominant ones, the fingers of one hand are enough ... Will you have two fingers?
