An excellent phone and Operating System
I am delighted with this phone. Having never used or even seen a Windows 7 phone before, I was a bit hesitant to commit myself to an 18 month contract, potentially ending up with a phone that I did not like, hence my ebay purchase. I need not have worried. The phone is responsive, well designed and a pleasure to use. The touch screen is responsive with just the right level of sensitivity and the resolution is good. When you scroll through items on the screen, the acceleration profile is perfect making it easy to find apps and contacts without whizzing through the one you want. The screen refresh rate must be quite high as there is no discernable frame jitter whilst scrolling. Battery life is pretty good, it lasts a working day with fairly heavy use which is OK, browsing the internet or using the GPS for extended periods does get through the battery fairly quickly though. I have really come to like the Win7 operating System and having compared it to my colleagues iphones and Androids I can honestly say that I prefer it. It is just easier and faster to find your way around, others will of course disagree but having had phones with all three OS's on my desk at the same time, to me there is no comparison. My only slight criticism is that the text in “contacts” (phone numbers and email addresses)is so small I have trouble reading it. Sure, the number of Apps is less than that available from Apple or Google but there has never been an occasion when I was unable to find an app to do what I wanted. At the moment the phone does not support flash but Adobe are working on a version for the phone, which is more than iphone users can say! I am looking forward to receiving the "Mango" update which I hope will make a good phone even better. I thoroughly recommend both the phone and the operating system.
