Microsoft has gained several favorable reviews from critics and deservedly so.
In a world where connectivity and speed is everything, Windows Phone 7 has proven to be a huge enticement for social- and multi- media phone junkies, especially with the integration of Xbox LIVE and Zune.
Some beefs however are that users need to sign up for a Windows Live ID to gain total access to phone features such as SkyDrive or Zune. Fortunately, signing up is easy enough even if you are a Gmail email user.
Critics have also sounded off about the lack of a copy and paste function (which will be solved with an update early next year), video chat functions and the inability to multitask when it comes to third party applications.
Generally speaking though, those who want something fresh will enjoy the new Windows Phone 7.
