Default WP7 HTC Shubert Video

http://247windowsphone.com/windowsp...deo-812010.html

Windows Phone 7 hardware is starting to appear, with rumours of a late August launch for WP7 in the air. No particular specs were mentioned for the Schubert in this exclusive to 247windowsphone.com (translation here), though we can be pretty sure it'll meet chassis 1 specs. In the meantime, enjoy.

I hope HTC will come out with a "WP7 "HD3"; not crazy about the shape of this one.

Styling looks like it may have been influenced by Nexus One.

What's in the top left corner of the device where they are blurring the video? An antenna that extends for a TV receiver?

Maybe some kind of serial #? Did not the Asus showed few days ago have something similar?

This better be their low end handset because this is no competition for the likes of the droid x, iphone or Evo and looks especially poor after seeing the HD2, their last flagship WM handset.

Indeed HTC could make a HD3, using a 1.5GHZ processor and go away with it. The design is a winner, the OS....... we will see but at least 50% of the equation is guaranteed to be succesfull............

Just because you dont like the OS doesnt mean a lot of others wont. Members of sites like these will most likely NOT like WP7, thats a given. Dont know why everyone seems to think only the iphone and android have exclusive rights on smartphone success.....

Uh? What I said is:

"The HD2 design is a succesful one"; it is on the market and people like it. This is a fact...

"The OS we will see". As far as I know is not available yet so the public reaction to it is unknown.... or not?

Btw, what I personally do not like is not the OS itself but the artificial limitations MS imposed both in hardware and software like the lack of removable storage and the fact that applications could be bought only through the "Market".

MS is trying to copy the iPhone business model but....... the iPhone was the first device using a completely different paradigm and people liked it IN SPITE of the limitations of the device: ITune, no removable storage etc. etc. and this is what a lot of people seems to miss.
