Reviewers Didn't Like
- Not a 4G device, lacks multitasking capabilities and other features – atleast until Mango update in the fall, no frontfacing camera
- Mediocre battery life; very cheap, “plasticy” feel; some lag from time to time (third-party apps); Windows Phone 7 still has some bugs; blemishes very easily
- Usual WP7 limits: no multitasking or copy/paste, Screen can look slightly fuzzy and oversaturated, Shorter battery life than some rivals, Calls sounded somewhat muddy, Pixelated 720p movie capture
- Glossy plastics may turn off those who like chic materials
- Plastic casing feels cheap, Frame rates can be spotty on video capture, Bizarre storage upgrade procedure
- Internet Explorer lives up to its superlame reputation. Camera shots too blurry to be taken seriously
- Not yet a fully mature platform, Plastic casing that scratches easily
- Call quality is a mixed bag, Windows Phone 7 has some key features missing
- No multitasking for third-party apps, Camera has slow shutter speed, Only 8GB of built-in memory, Address bar for IE Mobile and Maps don't work in landscape mode
- No copy and paste yet. Limited support for landscape mode. Xbox Live games slow to load. The phone feels a bit plasticky. No direct syncing for non-Exchange Outlook accounts; must go through the cloud
- Very few apps or games for this brand-new platform. Clearly 1.0 software
- No 3rd party app multitasking or copy/paste, few applications available, no task switcher
- The average microSD card may not be compatible with this device
