Mircosoft has renamed there Phone brand to something snazzy and modern to try and appeal with the youngsters and people who think “lol Apple Cool”, essentially the idiots of the world.
Though they also have decided “lets keep appealing to who we currently appeal to as well”, and after a bunch of marketing talk- they also developed something appealing to people who want functionality and not a “candy phone” like say the iphone or android. Or a “me too” smart phone. Essentially they did the opposite and did something awesome in the end.
While they have also developed something awesome and new, they are basically looking at everything they have done up until now and said “not our problem”- while still giving the option for others if they want to develop their devices or applications around Series 7 to do so.
While a drunken slob might mistake the buttons as the world becomes a blur- the new style is promised to be customizable to the user, while still sticking the rude finger up at them and making them do what the OS wants them to do.
On the other hand, I do have some gripes, mainly because its pretty much “oh wwaaa everyone hates our design because its like the primative version of everyone elses shit” then they go and make something which everyone is going to hate anyway because “lolz its to futuristic/complicated”, but in general- I like it- I think I just went from having a meaning here to “wtf am I on about”. Oh well.
Theres still heaps of things which are unclear- so until then I’ll just leave it as this, when something is asked at the moment the question is “MIX is the place to be”, so I guess that means until then information will be lacking- making this preview- pointless, yay!
Let’s blanket wash this with some resources:
