In the midst of antennagate, two major tech blogs have just gotten their hands on the latest version, albeit still considered as an early build, of the Windows Phone 7.
We warn you, these pre-reviews are very extensive and will take some time to read but the gist of it is fairly simillar.
There is much potential in Windows Phone 7 but there’s also a hell of lot of work to be done. Actually, that’s an understatement. The mobile market is hyper competitive with the iPhone as the player to beat and Android as the strong contender getting a strong foothold in the market. Don’t forget, there’s also BlackBerry and Symbian, not to mention bada all looking at grabbing their piece of the mobile market pie
At it’s debut, Windows Phone 7 will have only one chance to make an impression. They will need to do it right and do it right the first time. When it comes to smartphones, consumers are spoiled for choice and they will not give a lackluster product — both hardware and software — a second look.
The first Windows Phone 7 that’s expected to come late this year doesn’t need to be good, it must be great right out of the box.
Check the pre-reviews from MobileCrunch and Engadget, here and here.
