No there was an article on WP yesterday and a link to this. WP7 sucks but WP8 is quite good. People need to give it a chance. It is very, very smooth.

Way to respond to an 8 month old post. Though I guess it relates to how late to the show MS is.

I’m buying a Windows phone…. The problem with stupid Android is that it lags after just two months of usage.

Total BS. Watched the video 2 times. It is all a set up. The guy use short cuts on his phone. Also why would they have you reboot your phone if it wasn’t a set up. Facebook and maps are background apps. The hole contest is a fraud. Microsoft is a pathological lying machine and the reason for the lack of pc development. As far as the W7P goes, JUNK!

Whats funny about the video is that they have these noobs who barely know what phones they have. Then they “show up” with their phones not setup with half the options the phone has; let alone prepared for this challenge. And pit them against someone who knows everything about Windows Phone. This suppose to be a “fair” challenge?? I’m glad someone who knows how to use Android properly/fully showed up and shut Microsoft up!!!!

Amazing slogan actually. Especially for something nobody wants.

I havent checked the newest rules…but at CES, they talked about what they frequently did with their phones, deciding on one that worked for both. Maybe they changed that portion…

Should be fair as shaved head guy is familiar with his phone as the android user is familair with his phone. Shaved guy does not know which phone he may be racing against. The contestant has come in for this test too. Shaved head is asking about fairly simple tasks and very common tasks to do. I would guess 95% of the facebook users upload pics from their phones and directions are used probably by 90 – 95% of the phone users.

Yes I know shaved head is up to the task but its also just MARKETING. Android would have done it if they had thought of it first. Hmmmmm…..why no iphone?

Somebody needs to come up with a “Guide to Smoking a Windows Phone.” Microsoft has been giving special instructions to employees on what challenges to issue to what phone users, so shouldn’t it be fair that we can customize our phones to give us an edge in such a competition? I want someone to compile a guide of apps and settings that will give Android users the upper edge in challenges issued by Microsoft. You know, things like disabling the lockscreen for the challenge, placing two weather widgets on the main homescreen, one of current location and one in another state, and using Tweet Deck or a similar app to post to multiple social networks at once.
