Unfortunately when Nokia release their WP7 phones they'll be headed to Europe first. However, I think they're on the right track with vibrant colors and a modern design and a touch of WP7. How long until they ship state side?

HTC Trophy Coming To Verizon Soon

HTC Trophy Coming To Verizon Soon

I've heard this rumor since before the release last October. Why is this the only phone? Microsoft you need to get on the ball there are a lot of people waiting for a damn good WP7 phone. However, only making one available per CDMA carrier, for now, isn't going to cut it. Hopefully the Nokia deal will accelerate the hardware deficiencies. I for one am waiting to get a phone but have waited for over 2+ years to get a decent one. Please, more incite in to what is happening will help your cause rather than using fly-by-night information. End rant.

Amazon/Microsoft/Google Interview Questions

I've assembled a sleuth of interview coding questions from the top tech companies, including those in the "Programming Interviews Exposed 2nd Ed." book.  This is available in C# 3.5/4.0 for Visual Studios Pro.  I don't have the code hosted since I don't own a server nor do I believe I can host it on my Sourceforge project page.  However, if someone wants to host the project/source contact me and we can arrange to have it hosted.  Most of the code I wrote but there are examples that I took from the web but converted from pseudo/Java/C++/C to C#.  I've included iterative version of the recursive ones, where possible and alternative solutions, for example, in  generating permutations and combinations of a string.  Although you must understand the code and the techniques that lead to the solutions that is not the only requirement in being hired to work for any tech company.  However, I hope, if I can get this hosted, that this is a stepping stone in your journey.

Here's how not to write an article. This guy owns an iPhone, raves about it's apps and yet claims to know jack about a new OS let alone have incite into it's future. Here's a clue I'm a non-android, non-iPhone user who has a need for a smart phone (btw I am waiting for a Verizon version, contrary to you guesstimate). And by the way I have used WM 5/6.5 and despite the awful user interface loved developing apps because it leveraged one of the most popular, and not the only, development framework in the world. In fact that same code was easily ported to Windows Phone 7 ( or WP7 since the name doesn't roll off the tongue). End rant.

Seriously, we know WP7 doesn't have cut and paste, it was mentioned well before your article. Soon, sometime in February, an update will come to offer the missing feature. In case you can't count, HR guy, in less time then it was implemented on iOS. I guess that means bust rather than, faster implementation...

Clearly MS has a slow start, however, there are many of us waiting for phones to be made available on big red, Verizon. I suspect this will happens sometime after the first update goes live, which is due out next month, hopefully.

I believe many of these articles are jumping the gun on calling WP7 sales slow, waning, etc. And comparing them to Android and the iPhone is even more ridiculous due to there large head start.

I plan on waiting for a while before I even consider something different. As my development efforts are entirely non-professional, i.e. I don't get paid, I have no affinity to iPhone or Android but rather to .NET which means I can port my business logic to the desktop and web if I choose to do so.
