I dunno. For weeks it was hard to get ahold of an Asus Transformer because they were selling a lot faster than the manufacturer predicted.

I sure hope if they're one of the first out of the gate, that it's more reliable than my wife's LG Env Touch. If WP7 is great, but the hardware is crap like the Env Touch, it doesn't do the WP7 brand...

What we don't know, is how functional and bulletproof the OS will be. And how well apps will play with the way people need the phone to work.

The big question, and it looks pretty doubtful, is whether it will run true Flash or Java. The test is always video streaming sites. Hulu, Justin.tv, Ustream.tv, Vimeo, etc.

As long as Microsoft has a mechanism that refunds what you paid for the app, maybe it's OK.

But honestly, it's just another thing where WMP7 sounds like iPhone 2007.

Marketplace is such a big pile of FAIL in so many respects.

For me, it appeared on Marketplace, but because it was installed, it said "Installed" instead of "Download". So I had to uninstall it (I...

For $9.99 a month, you could get a dedicated device that'll work when there's 1G or no coverage for less than what it costs in a year.

Or you can get Garmin Mobile XT for WinMo phones for 99.99.
