So, Where is the Windows Phone Updates: Lots of Little Problems Need Stomping On
Windows Phone 7 launched late last year in an odd situation. It was nearly universally mentioned in positive light by numerous technology journalists and bloggers despite its recognized shortcomings:
– Lack of copy/paste
– Lack of app multi-tasking
– Few apps (compared to the iPhone and Android)
– The inability to use Windows Mobile 6.x apps
– The inability to install apps outside of the Marketplace
– Lack of phone models with front facing cameras
– Lots of little glitches like the Marketplace app freezing the system or (in my case) the HD7 not being able to get out of flight mode without powering the phone off and then on again
Microsoft said that they would control Windows Phone’s update process after its release promising, at least to my ears, regular fixes and feature enhancements without running in carrier roadblocks.
