Asher Moses has reviewed the Windows Phone 7 and he likes it. We'll be posting more on the Windows Phone 7 rollout, but for now you can enjoy his review.
Text is incredibly sharp and crisp on Windows Phone 7 and I'm particularly impressed with how emails and documents are rendered on the platform. The menu layout is also pleasing to the eye with big bold headings that can be scrolled through by swiping horizontally.
The tight integration with social networking sites, particularly Facebook, is one of my favourite things about the new platform.
Once you've synced all of your contacts and images from Facebook, Windows Live, Gmail, etc, these are seamlessly integrated into the phone's UI. For instance, your Facebook albums, along with the latest pictures published by friends, automatically show up in the "pictures" hub, while the "people" hub allows you to quickly view friends' latest Facebook status updates and Windows Live posts.
With fierce competition in the smartphone market right now, Microsoft had to get Windows Phone 7 right or risk being relegated to the mobile waste basket. Thankfully, the company has come up with a stellar revamp of its mobile platform that, while lacking some obvious elements, offers a beautiful user interface, tight social network integration and solid built-in features.
