Between the windows phone and the iphone which is considered better?

looking to get a new phone.


But i cant decide between the windows phone dor an iphone.





can i get some opinions on both please.





thanks|||I personally don't like the iPhone, i find it to plain and not that advanced but thats my opinion I If you want a phone that has free apps (jailbreaking), quick processing, and an inner camera then get the iPhone. iPhone doesn't have that much customization options I If you want a phone that has an advanced social networking, organization and customization, and easy to access apps then get the windows phone.

Will Nokia make a Windows Phone 7 for Sprint?

With the release of Windows Phone 7 on Nokia devices right around the corner i was wondering if Nokia would make CDMA versions of their popular phones. Nokia does not have many (if any) phones in Sprint's lineup so it would be interested to know if they will expand their presence.|||I don't see why they wouldn't. That is the main purpose of them creating WP7 devices is to sell them and make a profit isnt it? So I'm sure they would try to expand Windows Phone to as many providers as they can. I have MetroPCS and am waiting for them to receive a Windows Phone as well, which hopefully Nokia will be able to help them do. But I don't see them receiving one anytime soon because they have been releasing nothing but lower quality Android devices for the past year and still are. As of right now I refuse to buy an Android device because it is basically the new Apple: people will praise it and downgrade anything else. But anyways before I get too off topic I'm sure they will release one for Sprint.

Is there a reason my windows phone won't let me add apps?

I've tried to add apps to my windows phone, and all it says is "cannot receive information at this time, please try again later." but I tried later, and it says that EVERY SINGLE TIME.

If I were to get a Windows Phone 7 Series, which one to buy?

I would like to buy a Windows Phone 7 because I want a smartphone, but like the Zune Software (I own a Zune HD). Camera isn't a big deal, but a nice one would be preferable. I would enjoy a slide-out keyboard. Also, I don't prefer AT%26amp;T but if the phone is good enough, I guess I wouldn't mind.|||The only Windows Phone's with a keyboard (there are three) are the Dell Venue Pro (T-Mobile or ATT), HTC Arrive (Sprint), and the LG Quantam (ATT). I suggest either the Dell Venue Pro or the HTC Arrive. The HTC has a landscape slide out while the Dell has a portrait. Also I suggest you wait to December because Microsoft's partners will probably release a boatload of new phones. I know HTC has announced two phones (none with keyboards, but both with Front Facing Cameras). Samsung will probably follow. And Nokia will start introducing their Windows Phone's pretty soon (I hope/guess). Good Choice on Windows Phone 7. Best OS out there.

I need Microsoft word so I need Windows Mobile phone)|||I'd say one of the Samsung ones, either the Omnia 7 or the Focus seem good. They should both have an AMOLED screen, and a fairly nice exterior. The Focus is also the lightest of the Windows Phone 7 phones.





There is the Dell Venue Pro, but there seems to be a whole lot of demand for it, but Dell has yet to really be able to sell it in stores due to some production issues. So who knows?





Then the HTC ones seem ok. Any of them.





The least I'd recommend is LG, because they're designs are pretty ugly, though I think one or both their phones does come with DLNA so you can beam media from your phone to TVs or speakers and such that use DLNA.|||Best one overall is the Samsung Focus

What data plan should I get for a Samsung Focus windows 7 phone?

I'm due for an upgrade with ATT and I'm thinking I want the samsung focus phone which is a windows 7 phone. I have wifi at my apartment and I'm in college so most of my time I'm on campus where there is also wifi. So I was wondering which data plan would be best, the 200mb or the 2gb. Mostly what I use the internet for is facebook and email.|||The good news is you are not tied to the original data plan you choose. You are switch data plans to suit your needs. My suggestion to my customers is to start with the $25 2GB plan. Then check your usage after a month or two. If you are over the 200 MB, then stay on the plan. If you are under, switch down. The reason I would start at the 2GB plan is if you go to 201 MB on the 200MB plan, you are charged an additional $15 for another 200MB. So now you have spent $30 for 400MB when you could have had 2GB for $5 less.


And you will be surprised the different apps that you will like on your phone that use data.

How to use GPS navigation using internet data plan on a windows mobile phone?

I have unlimited data plan on my phone. I am willing to buy any software allowing me to use GPS navigation on my phone utilizing my data plan. However I am not aware of any software of that kind. (I don't want to buy a GPS receiver)





Here's the info:


Phone - HTC Touch


OS - Windows Mobile 6


Unlimited internet data plan|||But without any gps receiver (built in on your HTC or add on hardware) any gps software/application you have on your HTC wont point your current position on the map.If your HTC come w/o GPS feature which mean have NO internal gps receiver you need to add some things::


a%26gt; Bluetooth GPS receiver OR USB GPS receiver if your HTC has pc-like usb port,but i dont think so.


This is to capture satellites data position and then give it to the GPS software installed on your htc through bluetooth connection.This kinda like this http://www.semsons.com/bluetgpsrec.html


2%26gt; Navigation Software.


To proceed datas from receiver use to point the appropriate position on the map.This can be obtained by purchasing or search for free application like in here http://www.maps-gps-info.com/fgpfwmobile鈥?/a>


3%26gt; MAP.


You can use the map (purchased or downloaded) and stored in your device memory or Memory card ,or you can use onlie map like Google map or Google earth.But using online map will use internet connection of your device with either GPRS or 3G.And this is is your data plan obviously used for.|||Notastar is speaking the truth. You won't be able to use GPS navigation without an actual GPS antenna either built into your phone or attached externally (which is not practical).





Some options are to use Google Maps ("m.google.com" - from your phone) which will use cell phone tower data to get a general location of your phone which is useful for doing restaurant or gas station searches or to simply upgrade your phone or purchase a separate gps navigation device.





I suggest getting a separate GPS device because if you plan on using the GPS navigation on your phone often you will find that it doesn't update quickly all the time and that you use a lot of battery running the GPS antenna. I hope this helps

What is the best smartphone that is windows phone 7?

not comparing price which windows phone 7 i should get..?|||In my personal opinion, the HTC HD7 looks to be the best since it has 4.3 inch LCD screen.

Do achievemants on windows phone 7 show up on the xbox ?

Im new to XBOX and was thinking of getting the windows phone 7 but was unsure if achievemants gained on the phone , will show up on the xbox with the game icon etc....??





any info with this would be great.|||All your achievements that you make and receive on the phone go to your gamerscore and achievements on both as long as your live id is the same.

As far as you transferring music over, it isn`t a problem as long as you have the rights to it.You can do that by downloading the Zune software on your computer. It`ll pull the music files for ya. Or if you would like you can also purchase a zune pass and download and stream from up to 6 devices till your hearts content. It`ll set you back about 14.99 a month.|||Yes, they do show up on your gamerscore, as long as you are using the same account on your phone and your xbox, lets say when you first turn on the phone, you have to recover your already existing gamertag instead of creating a new one, make sure you do this if not theres no way to redo it that I could figure out (and im pretyy tech savvy) I used to have an htc HD 7 from t mobile, however I returned it, it had nothing to do with the phone, but unfortunetly you have no choice but to buy your music from zune, and thats too expensive, I have six hundred songs from limewire, and theres no loop holes around it, U CANT SYNC SONGS ON UR COMPUTER TO THE WINDOWS PHONE, ANY OF THEM. U HAVE TO BUY THEM FROM ZUNE FOR A DOLLAR AND THIRTY CENTS EACH, AND YOU CANT HACK WINDWS PHONE. YET....., AND ALSO ALL UR APPS WILL BE IN ONE LONG LIST, NOT A GRID, LIKE OTHER PHONES, BE AWARE, WINDOWS PHONES ARE NOT 4 everybody, I know I repeated myself a bit, but I just wanted to get the message accross, and I now happily own a samsung vibrant, and hit me up on xbox, add me(: gamertag : r0DoG99

Help me with my windows phone 7 questions?

I have had android since the g1 only. Nothing else lol. I want something a little different. I really want a windows phone 7 device but i ve seen one thing that is kinda keeping me away. The clock, service indicator, and battery indicator. I have seen that the clock stays there always but the rest disappear. Is there a way to keep those indicators there permanetely like the clock? And is there any ways to make calls over wifi?|||Well there is no way to keep them there permantley but if you tap the Status bar (the place where the Clock and Battery Status is) then the other icons will apear temporarily. But there is no permanent way to keep them there. The only way to make calls over WiFi is with a third party app. You will have to search the marketplace for one: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/market鈥?/a>

tommorow is my brother and sister in laws anniversary and i made them a video. I wanted to know is how can i send it to them from my windows phone.|||Its not possible to send/convert videos as a text message via phone.





My question is why send it as a text? You can just easily send them the video you made on your phone as a mms, not sms....MMS is multi-media message.|||Well It depends on what type of phone. I have a droid epic. I have to just clike menu and press shair

Will the Zune HD support Windows Phone 7 Series apps?

Hi I want to know if the Zune HD in the future will support Windows Phone 7 Series apps? There has been mixed rumors. What do you guys think?|||I think some would and some wont like the ipod touch and iphone which on the Ipod you cant use camera apps or the GPS.

WIth windows phone 7 coming out soon do you think the zune hd will get more apps, like windows phone 7?

in other words, will the apps coming out for windows phone 7 work on the zune hd?|||No, it will not get he windows phone 7 apps because windows 7 phone runs XNA 4.0. The Zune HD has XNA 3.5 which make it impossible to run win 7 phone apps.

WHO IS THE BEST PHONE SOFTWARE ANDROID OR WINDOWS PHOND WHO I CAN BY?

please tell me who is


the best phone software android or windows phone..,


or also know that who is


the best phone and price....!!


Thnks|||It is not true that Android phones are cheaply made or cost more to repair. Android is an operating system used by many many manufacturers because it is open source and free of licensing fees. You can opt for top of the range devices made by Motorola, HTC and Samsung etc or go for cheap chinese makes like Huawei. Now that I have adequately defended Android phones I will answer your question:





Neither operating system is "better" than another. They are both amazing. Here is a summary of things that are important to me:





Slickness: WP is a very slick and beautiful OS. It is a real pleasure to use. WP wins


Exclusivity: You get to stand out from the crowd. Every person seems to have Android or iOS in their hands. WP wins


Customization: You can literally change everything about your Android phone. WP is limited. Android wins


Hackability: You can root your Android phone and unleash its true power. With WP, you are always stuck with what Microsoft allows you to do. Android wins


Apps: There's almost 100 times as many apps for Android and they are mostly free (ad supported). WP apps are still catching up and are usually very expensive. Android wins


Price: You can get cheap deals on both systems. Draw





Not much between them but the open source nature and hackability of Android gets my vote.|||Just because Android is popular, doesn't mean that it's better than Windows Phone. Personally, besides iOS, Windows Phone 7.5 is much better than any Android release. Windows Phone is more stable, has Windows Market Place (Android Market equivalent). Other stability I prefer the Windows Phone look over Android, Android looks very make shift and miss placed. Windows Phone, like iPhone (iOS) is virus and malware free, while Android (being popular and supposedly Open Source) has many reports of malware and so far one or two viruses (that generally pose as 'Apps' and steal you data without you knowing,including phone numbers, addresses, account passwords and other stuff).





Get Windows Phone, you will find cheaper Android based phones, but they're cheaper for a reason (didn't sell well or poor quality hardware). Android device also (on average) cost more to repair than iPhones and some Windows Phones.|||For me, Android is still by far more good than the Windows Phone because it is popular and an open source platform. And Android have some good apps and games that the Windows Phone hasn't. So for me, Android!

When will Windows Phone 7 come to Verizon?

I really want a Windows Phone 7 for the Xbox Live features and I upgrade on the 23 of December (which is also my birthday). I was not really happy that AT%26amp;T has to hog it like they do with the iPhone. But I hear rumors that the Windows Phone will be coming to Verizon soon. Does anyone know when?|||yes, it's on Verizon early 2011.|||Nothing is coming to verizon,there on the verge of going out of business.


att just bough a big chuck of Verizon's airwaves.|||The answer is yes. And Google it next time. would have saved you a lot of time

Is the version rhyme a windows phone?

I want to know if the new Rhyme by verison a windows phone. windows phones work with Zune. But I want the rhyme phone.|||The only Windows phone on the Verizon Network is the HTC Trophy.

WINDOWS PHONE 7 USERS: How is the OS?

I am thinking about switching to Windows Phone and I want to know from actual users how the experience is? Do you like it? How is it when compared to the iPhone or Android? Any noticeable missing features (Besides the ones the are coming in the update Mango)? Thanks.|||And what exactly would 'noticeable missing features' be to you? The Windows Phone 7 is a wonderful %26amp; unique OS even as it is now (most users will tell you that)...and it only gets a whole lot better (and faster) with Mango. If you are interested in finding out how the OS works, you can always check out the videos on Youtube.|||When we first covered the OS in full, there were two omissions that we felt were troubling, but at least one of those has a fix coming soon. As you've probably heard, the devices won't support copy and paste out of the box, and won't support third-party multitasking of apps. The former will be eradicated in the form of a software update coming in "early 2011" according to Microsoft, and we've actually seen the copy and paste function demoed by company reps, so it's definitely close. That's great news, though it would have been nice to see it on board to begin with.

Should i get a iphone 4 or a HTC Windows phone?

compare these for me...





internet speed.


user interface.


reliability.


battery life.





I have an xbox live account and that's the main reason to get a windows phone, but is it worth it only to be connected to your xbox live account?





Also they will be bringing a new iphone out soon, and my upgrade is less than a week away.|||HTC Surround Windows Phone (AT%26amp;T) is the first Windows phone I've experienced. I switched from a droid, and I also have an iPod touch, so I have a good sense of the three operating systems. I have to say this windows phone gives a new meaning to smart phone. I had no trouble figuring out how to use this phone, which was provided for free through BzzAgent. As soon as it came out of the box and I popped in the batter, I had it charging and ready to go. It took me a few minutes to sit of the phone, way less than it took to use the droid. The tiles on the front are really nice. You can customize the phone and see your calls, messages, photos, and even Microsoft Office documents. I am not much of a gamer, so I replaced that tile with a weather app, and that is just perfect for me.|||iphone 4 all the way. htc windows has a lot of bugs they haven't worked out. soon enough they should make an xbox live app for the iphone 4 anyway

Will Nokia with Windows Phone be on Verizon?

I have noticed that there are no Nokia phones right now with verizon. I really like windows phone and with them partnering does anyone know if there will be in the future? Thanks!|||Nokia have not been on Verizon for years.



Nokia uses GSM in its phones, which is popular with the rest of the world. As such, their devices can and will only function on at%26amp;t or T-Mobile.



However, with Windows Phone, Nokia will most likely re-enter the CDMA market (as used by Verizon/Sprint) - so it is likely that Nokia will bring a device to these carriers.



I expect that CDMA device to appear Q2 (April-July) of next year, but a GSM version will most likely appear sooner|||yes its true nokia to bring windows phone. Nokia has been using own os s60 which so bad and its has affected nokia's supremecy. Android is so good and on top. To beat this nokia will bring windows. Nokia made meego and anna to beat android but those couldnt so nokia chose windows. Perhaps in january it will launch device.

Can I buy apps for my windows phone 7?

I do not have a credit card, and I do not have the option of adding the money to my phone bill. I'm in Canada, and I dont think it gives me a paypal option. So, how can I download windows phone 7 paid apps?|||Go to a bank or credit union and get a prepaid credit card.

Can you get a game on windows phone free that youve already paid for on xbox360?

Pretty much says it all,


I bought The Impossible Game on Xbox Live and I was wondering if I could download it on my windows phone without having to pay again.|||yes|||you can download free app here for you windows phone

Can I sync my yahoo email contacts with my Samsung Focus Windows phone?

Contacts saved in my yahoo email - trying to get contacts saved onto my Samsung Focus Windows phone|||yes|||Yes. Go to Settings-Email and Accounts-Add an Account- Yahoo Mail!


All your account info should be saved on it. Enjoy your Focus. I just got mine also!

Windows Phone 7 different lock screen possible?

Is it possible to change the lock on the windows phone 7 (i have the samsung focus)? Not the slide up screen but when you password it can you change it to something other than just the number pad to something like the android lock and anything different for that matter?|||No, it is just the Number Pad. Sorry. Microsoft may decided to change this next year because in the Windows 8 (desktop software) preview they show a picture password. I'm not saying they will change this but they might.|||yes, but you will need to jail break your phone in order to do that.

So is Verizon not getting an iPhone OR a Windows 7 phone?

So I know there's rumors flying around that they will eventually get them, but as it stands does Verizon really not have the iPhone or any of the new Windows phones coming out? What is the problem? They are the biggest network (by far) in the country, so why can't the get the latest phones? Weak.|||Um no. These rumors come around every year, and every year, no Verizon iPhone. Just because there鈥檚 a rumor of a CDMA iPhone, everyone automatically assumes that it鈥檚 going to Verizon, as if Verizon has the only CDMA network in the world. Well, news flash- Sprint uses CDMA too, and so do over 40 other countries in the world. Verizon didnt want it when Apple came to them first back in 2006 and they dont want it now. Why would they, when any Android phone crushes the iDont any day of the week, and Android is already selling more phones than Apple anyways?? Plus, ATT knows that without the iPhone, they have nothing, so they will pay Apple as much as they want in order to keep it. Why would you ever want such a horrible phone?





iOS is crap, and so is Windows Phone 7- NO ONE likes Windows phones at all. They are by far the worst-selling phones on every carrier. Blackberry, iOS, and Android all sell WAY more phones than Windows. Yes, Verizon will eventually get WP7 phones, but not til next year..

Downloading music on windows phone 7 no computer?

Is it possible to download music on a windows phone without using a computer or buying it from the Zune marketplace. If so, how?|||yes you can actually transfer all the mp3 from your computer, to the windows phone 7 using zune software sync.

Can I turn my windows phone into a mobile hotspot? How?

So Windows phonde could have that technology already? What do I need to connect my devices for internet access using a Windows Phone? Thank You. Will apreciate.|||Windows Phone does support mobile hotspot but you need to have a compatible data plan and the latest Windows Phone software.

Should I Get a windows Phone or an iPhone?

I want to get a new phone and I was going to get the Verizon iPhone, and then an employee at the microsoft store said that verizon is getting the windows phone next week, so now I am tied between the two. Also I don't really care if it has a keyboard.|||I personally have a Windows Phone 7 (WP7 for short) and I really enjoy it. It's easy to use, looks really slick, feel responsive and even has my Xbox Live account stuff on it (if you're into that kind of thing). The live tiles are really nice as well.



I have friends with the iPhone and while it's a good device, I don't like how it depends on iTunes and I feel that the interface is getting a little outdated. It does do some things better than the WP7 though. That's just me though.



They should have demo units at the store (or you can even go to an AT%26amp;T store and try out a WP7 and an iPhone) so you can compare the two yourself.|||Iphone. I've never had an Iphone but Ive had a windows phone and it SUCKED big time! I hated it! I gave that phone away because it was too slow and it actually powered up like a computer...SLOWLY! So for a phone I wouldn't. But I recommend the Androids they are the best!|||I have owned both and personally I prefer the Windows Phone 7. There are not as many apps for Windows Phone yet as it is still a fairly new platform. So if you are looking for a huge app library... go Android.|||the iphone is easier to use, has more apps, and excellent support. i'd definitely go with the iphone.

How long will it take for Windows Phone 7?

What's taking Nokia so long to make a Windows Phone? I mean it's been, what, 2 months since their alliance with microsoft?|||A Nokia running Windows phone 7 will only be released at the end of the year, if not next early next year. It may seem long, but we rather wait for something good , than a 'rushed' out product. It actually takes VERY long to design cell phones...2 months is like nothing!


There are of course a number of prototype handsets, but they far from complete...


I'm really excited for Nokia, I just hope they crush Android and IOS to oblivion|||Nokia will release Windows Phone handsets at the end of 2011. Nokia CEO, Stephen Elop, has been running around with the prototype already.|||mmm, I can understand that.

Why cant i purchase or install anything on my windows phone?

I have a Samsung focus, from at%26amp;t, and windows phones connect to Xbox Live.

Can someone give me a step by step of how to set one up or what I should do or if anything can be done? Please and thank you :)|||go online on the zune site, and login, and theres some things u have to do, i forgot, but when i got the phone, it said that too, i made an account, it still didnt work, so i logged on the account i made on the computer, and registered it, and now it works, sorry if i confused you, but yeah :)

Is Call of Duty: Zombies going to come out for the windows phone?

I know it's out for the iphone and ipad but what about the windows phone? it makes a little bit more sense for it to come out for something made by Microsoft. I know that the windows phone was after, but are they going to re-release the zombies maps for the windows phone?|||What do you mean it'd make more sense to put it on an MS product? They make WAY more money off of iOS, more then they could hope to get off of WP7, since no one really uses it.

Should I get a Windows Phone 7 or an iPhone?

They both look good. I want iPhone mainly for apps like cod Zombies and modern combat 2 but I want windows phone for xbox live games and stuff like that. I love google but you gotta admit, Android sucks. Its so slow and doesn't even have good apps. I'm a real hardcore gamer so i worry about games apps more. I have an box, so in my eyes, windows Phone looks really good.|||The new Windows 7 phones rock! I like mine way better than my wife's iPhone.|||Both are fine phones. It really depends on what you want to do. Does xbox mean more than the iPhone apps? I chose the iPhone and it is an incredible device. One thing that might help is service. I know that if your iPhone has an issue, you cannot get service or replacement at a wireless store. you can only do that at a mac store or by mail. For me it is no issue because I have a mac store near me. I had an issue with my newest iPhone and getting a replacement was very easy. Apple takes care of it's customers. All that being said, you really can't go wrong, especially because you have already ruled out the droid.|||If you play games frequently, go for the iPhone. But if you surf the net frequently, go for Windows Phones. It's up to you.|||iphone 4 s hands down

What is the best Windows Phone for AT&T?

I think that the Samsung Focus looks relatively good, but I don't know what the best WinPho for AT%26amp;T is. The Focus is free and looks to compete with the HTC HD7S (a two hundred dollar phone). The Surround looks pathetic, but that's beside the point. If you have any suggestions as to what would be the best Windows Phone on AT%26amp;T, I'd really appreciate your input :)|||Currently the best phone would be tied between the Samsung Focus and HTC HD7S. I personally like the Samsung Focus better because it uses a Super Amoled screen that is much mor evibrant than the HTC HD7S's Super LCD screen. But the screen on the HD7S is much bigger. In the ends it really comes down to if you want a big, but not as vibrant screen or a vibrant, but not as big screen, as well as the form factor of each phone. The HD7S also includes a kickstand if you watch a lot of movies. So its also like entertainment phone vs. practical phone. It is a tough decision. I would personally go with the Samsung Focus as it is the most popular. But AT%26amp;T is also halting sales on many of their phones and this is most likely because of the holiday season and that will bring a plethera of new phones. AT%26amp;T will be carrying the HTC Titan, Samsung Focus S, and the Samsung Focus Flash. I would personally wait until they would start selling these phones as they all have Windows Phone 7.5|Mango preinstalled as well as front facing cameras for pictures and video chat. The HTC Titan has a MONSTER screen. It's gigantic. But it still has the not so good Super LCD screen as the HTC HD7S now has. It also has a low screen resultion and that will be apparent with such a big screen. The Samsung Focus S is the phone I'm waiting for to make the jump (I have been a happy iPhone user for a year but when I saw a Windows Phone I had to have it). It has a Super Amoled screen (YAY!), 4.3" (YAY!, also the same size as te HD7S screen) and a front facing camera (but all the new phones have that). The Samsung Focus Flash is a more lower end phone for people who don't need as big as screens as the other two phones offer. I would wait until the Samsung Focus S comes out until you buy a Windows Phone 7. For reference the Samsung Focus S will be like a Windows Phone version of the Samsung Galaxy SII. Also all the new phones support AT%26amp;T's HPSA+ 4G network (which isn't as fast as LTE 4G, HSPA+ is more like a faster 3G but not as fast as 4G although it is marketed as 4G). If LTE is important to you Microsoft recently hinted that there will most likely be LTE phones in the ext 3-4 months but they did not specify the carrier so don't get your hopes up. Well I hope this has been thorough and I'm glad somebody besides me is interested in Windows Phone 7. Make a good choice.





If you have anymore questions concerning the subject you can contact me at vtheo27@yahoo.com|||The HTC HD7 wears its potential on its sleeve. The biggest of the first batch of Windows Phone 7 devices, at 4.3-inches it鈥檚 also one of the largest smartphones of any OS on the market.

Will Astro gaming headsets work with an iPod or Windows phone 7?

I'm thinking about buying Beats by Dre Sudios but I'm also a pretty active gamer. I was wondering if the Astro A40 wireless headsets work with iPods and Windows Phone 7's. Basically, do Astros have the correct audio jack to fit into an iPod or Windows Phone 7? If it works with android also that would be useful to know also.|||From their manual, they have a connector for a PC and additional cables for connecting this to a 3.5mm mini-jack. This can plug in to the iPhone or Windows Phone 7 devices. It would likely work on any android device as 3.5 mini-jacks are industry standard. You only get stereo audio and the microphone doesn't do anything as the jack is output only.





A full sized headset does use a lot more power than the smaller ones, so battery life is a lot shorter and volume might be limited. They are also more trouble to carry around than smaller ear-bud types. Hence the A30s are smaller and lighter. If you are using the devices for gaming, you might find the cables to be annoying -- you need to hold the (relatively small) devices and large heavy cables may not be convienient.





Honestly, such a headset would be complete overkill for a phone. If you use it at home on your PC maybe its fine to carry around, but I think you'll find lugging them around is a hassle. You can put a cell in your pocket. As an alternative you might wish to look at wireless Bluetooth headsets. Many include stereo, you get the microphone capabilities, built-in power is likely better for volume and battery life, you don't have any cables to deal with, and you can put the device in your pocket while listening to music.

Is there a way to SIM unlock a windows phone 7?

Is their a GPS app on Windows Phone similar to the Iphone Tracker one?

On the Iphone, there is an App totrack friends and family via GPS and see their location, is there a similar App for the Windows Phone?!





Cheers (:|||you can try Nokia Drive Hacked


http://wp.pandaapp.com/news/11212011/182鈥?/a>|||You can always download the lookout app. Its the best out there . You can track your phone from a remote pc/mobile, even if gps is off on it. In the pro version of lookout, you could remotely wipe the data in your phone. You can also sent a command (via sms) to your phone to ring, and it will ring even if it is in silent mode.

What are the cons and flaws of Windows Phone?

I'm thinking about getting the samsung focus windows phone but I'm kinda iffy on how windows phone is still kinda recent so I could also decide to get the HTC inspire instead. What are the cons of the windows phone? Or if you can, maybe what are the cons of the android htc inspire as well? Sorry I can't afford the iphone so its out of the question :(|||Got a friend with Focus phone. Kinda slick but can't send videos with it. Unless there is a update for it. I would research it first. Know someone with Inspire and that's a nice phone. Had a Speck candyshell case on it and phone just came out. Think windows just have to catch up at this point.

Is an Xbox required for Windows phone 7?

I want to buy a Windows 7 phone, but I was wondering if you need to have an Xbox for the Xbox live on the phone. Can anyone help me?|||No.





XBox Live is merely a central system for managing an account which storing and unlocking achievements and other information. If you have an XBox (and setup XBox Live) when you login and play a game, it can 'remember' certain information (typically accomplishments) which might give you different options when playing the game.





For example, you login to XBox Live on your computer and play say Halo. You kill some big bad guy and it gives you an achievement that unlocks some secret base you can get into. Weeks later, you go to your friends place and play Halo on his XBox (logged in to XBox Live). It will 'remember' your achievement and give you access to that secret base.





XBox Live for Windows Phone 7 is the same thing. If you play a game on your Windows Phone device and do something it will forward your achievement to XBox Live. Later, that achievement might allow you to do something. For example, if you play The Harvest, and reach a certain point, it allows you to start with different suits of armor. Technically, if you had two phones (or logged in on someone else's phone) it would know about your achievements on the other phone.





Achievements also give points which you can use for various things within other games. Some games might share achievements.

Can you download iphone apps to the windows phone?

How do I install audio books on a Samsung Focus/ Windows Phone 7?

How do I install audio books on a Samsung Focus/ Windows Phone 7?|||Assuming you are using Audible.com, you can't. Audible doesn't save directly to .mp3 or .wma file and it's audible manager does not currently support Windows Phone 7 devices.





However, you can download programs which will convert audible files (.aa) to .mp3 format -- and split them into multiple .mp3 files. For example GoldWave. These generally aren't free, often take a while, and are a hassle (both to convert and find your place within .mp3 files when you pause).

Is there a windows phone 7 app for getting a song's name?

My favorite app for my iPhone was MusicID, which would listen to a few seconds of a song, then tell you its name and artist. Well, I switched to the new Windows Phone 7, and have really been missing that app.





Does anyone know of an app with similar functionality?|||tune in radio= pandora radio


shazam music= musicId


i just had windows 7, i liked the touch screen, but was mad that microsoft was slacking so switched to android.|||Currently Shazam is the best app for the job. In the next major update of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft is going to bake in this feature without the need for a third-party app.

As a Verizon customer, is it possible to get the Windows Phone and not have a "Data Plan"?

The only "plan" I need is unlimited texting. I'd have no interest in having the internet on my phone, even if the rates were a bargain. Is it possible to get the Windows Phone without signing up for the data plan? On their website, they say no.





As a side note: is it worth it to buy the Windows Phone without the internet? Are too many of the applications web based?|||I'm relatively positive that any phone you purchase from Verizon now needs a data plan, with the exception of the two very, very basic phones that they have. The cheapest you can get is a 10$ plan, but again, that's limited to only certain phones. I think one you get into the iPhones, you have to get the 30$+ plans.|||Sorry any Windows Phone is considered a smart phone. You would be required to get a data plan from Verizon. It would cost you 29.99 per month for 2GB of data internet. Windows Phone has apps similar to Android and would need to have a data plan to work.

Is the iphone 3GS better than the Windows Phone from AT&T, I am thinking about getting the Windows Phone?

I dont want to pay as much for the iPhone 4 and i was just wondering if you can still get apps on the windows phone or the pros and cons of each i guess.|||windows suffers as it is not as well suited to that form factor (ie small devices)


Get the iPhone by all means but consider an android phone before the windows one.|||Do a quick google for your self and you will find the Windows Phone 7 is ENTIRELY positive. It beats the iPhone 3GS hands down along with Android and is catching up to the iPhone 4 quality wise. It's got a long way to go for apps etc, but it's a refreshing choice. Nokia seem to think they are worth having.





WP7.|||The iPhone 3GS is lame, don't bother with it. Apple added a LOT of improvements in the iPhone 4. Yes, the Windows Phone does have apps.|||Windows phone are much better to use if your are a professional

Your lack of preparedness is unrelated to my lack of urgency.|||this has nothing to do at all with LAND PHONES.. you should post your questions in the CELL PHONE section...





an iPhone is not a windows phone.. they are two different things..





you would need a CDMA version of whatever phone that you want (if it is an iPhone, then you would need to get a verizon version and not an at%26amp;t version) - but you should contact a metro Pretty Crappy Service store that does the flashing to determine if you can get an iphone or windows phone flashed onto their service...

If you don't have a memory card reader, then you should have BlueTooth in both your mobile phone and in your computer, and then transfer it through it. If you don't have even BlueTooth, then you can send an MMS using your mobile phone to your computer (charges may apply) by attaching the file. If you can't do so, then attach it using an email through your mobile phone, to your email ID, and then open your ID in the computer. If none of above help, I would recommend you to type the document in your computer again, if it's not too long...|||You could simply email it to yourself as an attachment.

Can i print off pictures at cvs of walgreens from my windows phone?

i have some pictures i took with my windows phone. the picture quality on my phone is better than my sisters digital camea, and i was wondering if i could go to the store and print them off like i would with a digital camera? does it work like that? i guess i am not super up-to-date on this kinda stuff.|||Yes. If you have a memory card in the phone save the photos on that %26amp; bring the adaptor with you to the store %26amp; use the kiosk. If that's too much you can email them to yourself then upload them to wphoto.com and send them that way. i don't think there's an app for windows phones but you should check.|||Unfortunately, storage in windows phone cannot be mounted as a removable storage. Fortunately, the folks at walgreens can get photos from your phone by installing Zune Marketplace if they using windows or Windows Phone Device connector if they are using Mac.

Can you use a Windows Phone 7 device without phone service?

I would like to use a Windows Phone 7 device, but not activate phone service and only use it with wifi. Will i be able to use all the Zune capabilities and also access the apps Marketplace via wifi? Does anyone know what is and is not available if I don't activate the phone? So basically it'd be like an Ipod Touch, except Windows Phone.|||Yes... you could use a Windows Phone 7 device without phone service. You can buy the phones without a service contract or via eBay. You can certainly download music or applications over WiFi along with Internet browsing, email, and other functions. In most cases, you'd want to do that because it is faster and don't run up your phone bill (depending upon your plan). You can also purchase music, movies, or apps from the Zune software on your PC and they will be sync'd the next time your phone connects via USB or WiFi.





A few obvious problems...





1. You don't have phone service, you can't receive calls.





2. No text messages.





3. You have to buy the phone out right. Most provides offer the phone over time as part of their contact.





4. WiFi isn't available in many places/areas.





5. You can't call 911, family in case of emergencies, etc.





6. WiFi does chew through the battery. Just leaving it on likely halves the time between charges. Actively using it, along with browsing/apps which use it, likely cuts the time down to 3-4 hours.





Personally, I'd at least get a prepaid phone plan. Put $20 on it and then only use it for emergencies.|||Ask your current provider about transfering (or adding) your new phone to the same plan. Not sure where you are from? AT%26amp;T does offer a GoPlan, where you pay as you go. Once you own the phone, carriers typically don't care what phone you put on a plan.

How to transfer itunes music from a mac onto a windows 7 phone?

i've already downloaded the windows phone 7 connector, and all is well except i can't get any songs on the phone because all the songs have that DRM protection thing...


and since i'm on a mac, i cannot download any zune software either to use that as a loophole because the software isnt available for mac (and i dont want to open up parallel whatever to download windows xp or whichever you want)


any simpler ways?|||Well, it's easy to bypass the DRM if you have the right tool.





The best and most reliable DRM removal tool that I've ever used is a tool called DRM Media Converter. It's able to remove and convert all DRM media files. After that, you can enjoy your files freely. Works really great for me. Easy to use and professional.





You should really give it a try. You may check out at:

Best of luck.|||It is possible to burn your bought iTunes songs to a CD, then transfer the tracks directly into your iTunes library, therefore creating FairPlay-free files. The problem is that you simply get reprocessing songs that is previously been dealt with for compression, that will certainly harm your sound quality.
