Well I'm used to using a BB with GAL access. So I search for someone by typing "Fred" and it looks in both my contacts and the GAL and offers results. Seems the easiest way ... a

It never occured to me to try and type names in the dialer. I click on the people hub and number I want there or use the voice dialer. It's 2 taps for the three stuck on my home screen, 3 for people in the People hub. Why would anyone think of typing in names in a keypad dialer?

I use my BB all the time by just starting to type someone's name and then choosing which of their numbers to ring. Does that not happen at all on WP7? Fingers crossed they'll sort all that out soon ... I take it it's not part of the current update? a ________________________________ From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:k...@adopenstatic.com] Sent: 25 February 2011 02:54 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Can you hear me now, Microsoft? If you actually had one of these phones, then you'd know what the "real" problems are J The phone dialer is crippled: you can just start typing in someone's name and have matches - it only does numbers From within the email app, you can only attach photos - you can't email any other type of file (but you can go into Office and once you have a Word doc open, choose to email it) You can't multi-select multiple txt messages to delete them - but you can with email Etc.

Its a copy of the functionality, regardless of how its arranged. So yes, its a copy. I'm not saying its not functional or intuitive. And I completely concede to how well it runs, I've never argued that. Microsoft has been smart to raise the standards of the hardware that is required for it. I guess they learned a lesson from WM and Vista. I am far from an Apple fan-boy. Im not a fan-boy of anything. I will gladly knit-pick any device - but my comments stand, that its ridiculous that Phone 7 cant copy/paste. After everything else thats come before it, after all the negative press the iPhone got, why oh why would Microsoft make a decision to release it without copy/paste. My enthusiasm about this conversation is relative to my increasing annoyance with MS. Its hard to champion a company (for 20 years) that keeps shooting themselves in the foot. I'm a Microsoft-centric tech, and these things piss me off. -- ME2 On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 4:54 AM, Alan Davies <adav...@cls-services.com> wrote: Wow ... copy of the iOS!? That's the best I've heard all day. iOS is an horrid, unoriginal and dated looking OS. It works perfectly well, but it doesn't appeal to me at all (and lets face it .. we all have our own personal preferences!). But to call WP7 non-inventive or a copy is just factually incorrect. It's about the *only* inventive release of a phone operating system ... Also, would love to know how many of you have been out to test a WP7 phone (pref the Omnia 7 since it compares with the iPhone 4 and HTC Desire HD)? I have and I was blown away with how good it was .. especially for v1.0. I may well get one .. haven't made up my mind yet and I do have some concerns, but the Apple-fanboy-ism seems to be, as ever, getting a bit carried away! My second preference is Android. a ________________________________ From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:michealespin...@gmail.com] Sent: 23 February 2011 20:32 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Can you hear me now, Microsoft? <snip> Microsoft does not have this luxury. They took 3 years to come out with a non-inventive copy of the iOS from 3 years ago - complete with a lack of copy/paste. I had a higher expectation than this. </soap-box> -- ME2 ************************************************************************************ WARNING: The information in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be legally privileged.
