I'm really looking forward getting a WinPhone 7 - to bad that both devices I'm most interested in (Dell and HTC 7 Pro) aren't available at launch and I'm not very optimistic they'll be available soon at my provider (Vodaphone). So it's either going with the LG (but I really want a realkeyboard) or keep waiting and hope for Vodafone to bring on one of the more interesing devices, too.

I was toying with the idea to buy a HTC HD7 but after reading this:

I will wait until the HD7 will have this ability too.

Granted I take what Paul Thurrott says "cum grano salis" still......


Day after day the WP7 launch seems more and more like something planned by a schizophrenic............... details announced a long time ago and confirmed over and over suddendly have changed overnight.......... and are not announced by MS.
If the statement is true this would be a huge blow to HTC devices which seems to be, at least in this first wave, without a SD slot.
