Getting a feel for Windows Phone 7We've seen the videos, the online demos, and read the reviews - but do we really know what it's going to look like? Thankfully Microsoft have uploaded an interactive video allowing us to see how it will really look and behave: http://www.windowsphone7.com/ Our initial reaction is that it appears very smooth, and clutter free. The simple, square designs appear clean and modern, making the app-cluttered iPhone and busy start menu of Windows Phone 6.5 seem dated. The fluid movements are a nice touch, bringing the design to a standard we are familiar with from Vista and Windows 7. It's nice to see it 'in use', with everyday actions taking place. There is a point during the 'Outlook' demo that we got a little confused - but it's just seamlessly allowing you to edit Office documents, and respond to calendar invites. The smoothness really is impressive, and we are crossing our fingers that this video hasn't been edited too much! |
