Windows phone 7 anyone else got it?

Looking for others thoughts and input. This is my first smartphone so I know there is a lot of neat stuff I can do with it, I just don't know where to start.

I want one badly. What did you get?

I am very curious about the XBOX LIVE integration, especially if MS decides to do a revamped Zune HD with many of the features of WinPhone7.

I got the focus. The Xbox and windows live integration is pretty cool. It allows me to see my friends list and send and receive xbl messages. You can also play around with your avatar. The windows live stuff that it pulls in is sweet too, as long as you spend a little time setting up your windows live id. I get Facebook updates and photos on herewithout even thinking about it.





There is a lot to like and I haven't spent a lot of time with it yet. Still need to get a few more apps but Facebook and twitter both look and work well.

I'm pretty jealous. I have to wait until March to get one without dropping 500 bucks. Please keep us posted on your thoughts about it because I'm really interested. Is it speedy and responsive?

Pretty snappy. The only thing I can compare it to is the Zune HD. The only thing that seems a little slow is when changing from portrait to landscape.

The Samsung focus seems to have the best specs/form factor of the WP7 initial launch hardware. A few buddies of mine picked them up and say they are awesome. The new WP7 UI is pretty slick from what i've seen so far...


Also, you can get ACHIEVEMENTS on WP7 games!!!!

Does anyone who has one sync to an Exchange server? How is that? I heard it is different now

I'm interested in WP7, but none of the initial hardware seems completely awesome, and I think I will wait for it to mature a bit. XBL integration and cheevos are a BIG BIG plus though. [8-|]

Interested, but I'm waiting for LTE before I get a new phone.
