Windows Mobile 7 with LIVE to Dethrone the iPhone?

From the PlanetXbox360.com feature editorial:

"Things in the mobile market may change with Microsoft's recently announced 'Windows Mobile 7' phone. Finally delivering on their four-year-old promise of LIVE Anywhere, Microsoft is set to completely rule the LIVEs of their customers when their new smartphone finally hits the market. Touting a touch screen and a gorgeous display aside, it does give players something that may seem more important than previously thought, complete Xbox LIVE integration. The real question is whether or not this major push by Microsoft to get into the mobile market will put a dent in Apple's iPhone domination, and if so in which way (gaming, hardware, apps, etc.)?"

I got a Zune and Ipod Touch for my birthday and the battery life on the Zune is garbage with wifi turned off, so I doubt I'll buy anything from Microsoft again. Surprise me, Microsoft, and I'll buy it!

Give me a phone that can earn Achievement points and you have me sold....well done MS, well done....

I was under the impression that it was Blackberry that actually dominated sales around the globe. Their half the price and have more functionality.

I’m happy for somebody to correct me…

captain-obvious5946d ago

oh boy
i would love to see how thins thing dose
the funny thing is MS dissed the IPhone when it came out
but now they copy it
well i dont blame them the IPhone is a big hit and almost all companies have already copied it
and just like typical MS with their (me too) strategy

this dethrone the iphone..... im waiting for the punchline here

sounds just as silly as the people who were saying the zune would dethrone the ipod

Blackberry dominates the US, Nokia Dominates the world by far. Only place Apple dominates is in having over 140,000 apps available.

Also Windows 7 series is at least ten different cellphones from ten different cell phone manufactures and being carried by every cell phone provider.
Manufacturers and Service Providers
LG, Samsung, HTP, HP, Dell, Sony Ericsson, Toshiba, Garmin, Asus and Qualcomm) and carriers (T-Mobile, Orange, Verizon, VodaFone, Sprint, Verizon, Telefonica, AT&T and Telstra, among others).

Has any one read what windows 7 phones can do with live? It is basicly a buddy list and not much more than that. The iPhone has an app that does the same thing without acheivements.... It really isn't a big deal

duplissi5946d ago (Edited 5946d ago )

lol apple doesnt have any throne as far as phones are concerned theyre 2nd at best... and i would like to keep it that way, android is better, Webos is better, blackberry is better, and hopefully win 7 mobile will be better.

duplissi5946d ago

haha disagrees.... people are so delusional, fanboyism extends to phones as well. tsk tsk. well im sorry apple has no throne and even i was wrong they arent even 2nd!

I gotta agree, if the LIVE and XBLA functionality is on, as well as great access to MS Office aps I'm getting one day one.....exciting news!

fatstarr5946d ago

When i upgrade my phone i wont beable to decide
between the Android x.xx and windows mobile 7.

why cant we have a dual boot -_-.

somekindofmike5946d ago

because its a phone, not a computer :P

Tony P5946d ago

Hype is a wild thing. Every new phone must dethrone the iPhone; every new MMO must be a Wow-killer; every FPS a Halo-killer. I'll be satisfied if they're simply quality items that work to spec.

GamerPS3605946d ago (Edited 5946d ago )

I bet, I can dial 911 on emergency faster than these phones and I have stone age samsung phone :D.

I can't handle too many stuff on phone. My wife got fancy Phone and I hate to use that. I touch wrong icon and mess up whole thing.

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

Reaper22_44d ago

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.
