I'm not sure what the OP meant by that, but here are some guesses:
1. If your friend emails you his address and you want to see the Bing Map to the location, you have to find a pen and paper to write it down. Then you have to open the Maps application and manually type it in.
This is because there's no copy+paste.
2. The web browser is IE7 + bits of IE8. This means very slow JavaScript, no HTML5, and a MS-locked-in web experience.
3. App developers cannot use sockets to access the internet, so most cool apps will be near-impossible to develop.
- recoiledsnake 16y ago1 is patently false. See here http://www.mykindofphone.com/bring-on-bing-for-windows-phone-7 http://www.mykindofphone.com/bring-on-bing-for-windows-phone... >For example, if someone sends you an address in an email, the phone will pick that up and turn it into a link. Click on that and you are in Bing maps Also, Copy paste in coming at the beginning of next year. 2. JavaScript is fast enough. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgvphQx9MY8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgvphQx9MY8 There's no HTML5 though but I fail to see how it creates a 'MS locked-in web experience'.
- btilly 16y agoThe "no HTML5" is a biggie. A lot of websites have come to rely on having WebKit based browsers on smart phones, and so their mobile content uses HTML5 features that Windows Phone 7 does not support. So you have to fall back to a really crappy experience.
