Please remind me to say something along these lines the next time there's an Ubuntu release.


Why? I personally know more than a handful of Ubuntu users… I’m sure others do too.

Many have switched to Debian as they get increasingly frustrated with Canonical for releasing such buggy code.

I can't wait to see how much this release improves the user experience.

Aww.

They're pretty happy with the devices as well. In any case this is OSNews, popularity of an OS ( mobile or not) should have no bearing on the newsworthy-nes of the story.

Ie not a smart phone.

see:

I mean linkedin, twitter, facebook etc, are part of the OS itself.Edited 2011-07-27 15:43 UTC Wed, 27 Jul 2011 15:38:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (timalot) Comments RE: Feature phone? http://www.osnews.com/thread?482452 http://www.osnews.com/thread?482452

Er, having more features out of the box makes the phone somehow less of a smartphone?

I don't own one, so I don't have any idea but during the product launch that was what they were saying. Kinda found it hard to believe, wondering if it actually worked out?

Can you uninstall/hide the "people hub" on windows phone 7 or "Facebook Places" or "Windows Live Messenger" ?

If not then these are "features" of the phone meaning its a "feature phone".

I am looking forward to the Fall (Autumn) when new phones come out with forward facing cams, updated hardware specs, etc.

Right now I have an account with ATT and with T-Mobile. I'll ditch the HD7 for a new model and leave T-Mobile and stick with old ATT account, but with a new WP7 phone.

OH! For those of you with the HD7, did you get your hardware update? I just got mine yesterday. Finally the camera works like you would hope. Apparently there were some changes with wi-fi and cell connections that are for the better as well, but I haven't tested them. Thu, 28 Jul 2011 15:39:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Tuishimi) Comments
