A Month With Windows Phone 7

I’ve had the Verizon HTC Trophy running Windows Phone 7 for over a month now. I’m still thrilled with the phone. Tyla seems to love hers as well.

My only regret is the marketing. Why don’t the commercials tout this as the “Facebook phone” or the “Xbox phone”? Both services are more deeply integrated into this phone than Android or iPhone and are a big win for the platform. I have the opportunity to upgrade to the next version of Windows Phone (codename Mango), but I haven’t taken advantage of that yet since we have so much going on at home already. Hopefully when things settle down I can get my hands on the new OS.

HTC Status, a phone I would never buy, already reigns as the "facebook phone." http://bit.ly/nqwpol
